Great Potential
This low budget twisted thriller had some great acting by Matthew Tompkins (lead actor) but even his acting chops couldn't bring this one out of the sloppy script. The premise is original enough and redone with a new script and a bit more money thrown at it, it could become one of the greats. It's lacking in good CGI's and the "demons" leave a lot to be desired as for being frightening. It's worth a watch just for the acting and originality.
Is this the real life?
Vice detective Ryan Calhoun (Matthew Tompkins, Sicario) is one of the best cops on the force. But after his partner is ritualistically murdered, his need to discover the truth takes over his life, sending home to a hospital that becomes his own private hell. Even worse, Calhoun is suspected of the murder. Going undercover in a mental hospital, he tries to keep himself sane while remembering his life - he's married, he's a good cop and demons can't be real. He learns that nothing is - or isn't - the way he believes it is. Yes, that sentence is confusing but so is the life our hero is about to plunge himself into. The Harrowing has some star power, with Arnold Vosloo from the Mummy films and Michael Ironside. I really liked the film's look and how it gets progressively grimier and weirder as we get closer to the inevitable conclusion. It's very Shutter Island but that isn't a bad thing. I mean, that movie didn't have demons with branches and blood spraying out of their heads.
Blown Away
Jon Keeyes best film to date. Matthew Tompkins was brilliant as lead and the supporting cast did not disappoint. Jon and Matthew have proven once again what a great team they make. I'm not going to spoil a moment but pay attention to details. Pay attention to everything. I was so blown away at one point I had to rewind and watch it again just to make sure I fully grasped that twist. Jon Keeyes should write a Black Mirror episode. Just saying.
STUNNING, VISCERAL SUPERNATURAL THRILLER!!!
I highly recommend this excellent thriller. I won't give away the plot and will make this review brief, but kudos to all the cast and crew. Top notch perfomances from Mattew Tompkins in the lead as Ryan Calhoun, as the cop who is plunged into a nightmare you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. Wonderful support from genre icons, Michael Ironside and Arnold Vosloo, and Arianne Martin as the wife of our troubled hero. I was totally gripped by the movie, and all I really need to say is simply: SEE THIS FILM!!
My Review Of "The Harrowing"
Keeyes story blends fantasy horror with seedy crime syndicate concepts that are poignant to real world issues. It is quite a heady storyline with a deeper meaning snaked through the film, revealing a larger story at play. It isnt a new idea to use a plotline as a metaphor of sorts to tell a bigger story , but Keeyes gets gritty and almost masterful in his attempt in a most creative way. The characters are fully realized. Easily recognizable, even as unsavory as most are, and you can connect with their plight. "The Harrowing" is a transitional nightmare that plays with perceptions. Although at times the film hits lags with wordy cliché dialog, there is not a moment you forget what you are watching. Mostly because the horror of the previous scenes or the understanding that things are going to get even more horrible afterwards. There are a few moments that hurt "The Harrowing". During the midway point as things get clearer, during the story transition, the story gets a bit muddled in the beginning. Luckily just as it feels Keeves could be heading off the rails , the muddle fades and the story rebounds and kicks in to high gear. You still are made to watch the story unfold with a big question mark overhead, but that is intentioal. Overall "The Harrowing" is a killer movie. The special effects are stellar, both CGI and practical. I felt like I was watching a true modern giallo, with all the blood and gore a horror fan could want for. The creature design, what time it is on screen is awesome, I wanted more of it. Definitely check this one out.
