leone v 01/04/2024 Probably not one of the best films of this genre or among the most original. In any case, it manages to keep the viewer's attention quite alive, avoiding easy and gratuitous splatter. In fact, it doesn't seem to fall into the horror genre but rather into the thriller category. The way it's constructed, especially in the ending, seems to open up possibilities for a sequel. We'll see. See more 01/30/2023 The movie made no sense a( all. See more 02/22/2022 I really liked this film. In a time when you "takes your chances" with Independent movies that are offered on the various Streaming Services. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of this film. The acting is good, and the production values for a film that I assume had a somewhat limited budget, aren't bad at all. The plot and the ultimate "reveal" are also good. I really appreciate, and thank the production company. For making the main character a "single Male" parent! There are a lot of those out there, and they are rarely represented in current films and TV series. I know it's a lot easier to make the main character a woman, because people seem to be more sympathetic to that character gender. But I think that it is a sign of lazy writing, and pandering, when women are always the victim. Currently, the entertainment industry seems to feel that the only important characters in productions should be female characters as "super heroes" or as "victims". Which is typical of an industry with limited imagination and quality writers.  P. S. It's not important, but I think Hannah Ward was totally miss casted as a college aged young woman. Further, my question as to whatever happened to Tatum O'neal was answered by seeing her in this film.

(Should have been an alien movie instead). I hate that they had to over justify the explanation as to why the title of movie is called Assent. Save your time and don't watch this. See more 03/16/2021 Not to memorable but it's make me excited But worst things is This film is Easy to Predict every things See more 02/22/2021 Atmospheric and suspenseful. Asks the question possession or mental illness. See more Read all reviews
