What a day. It started with softball practice early in the
morning, followed by a short nap, and finally some relaxation after submitting
writing samples for a potential screenwriting critique. Hopefully, I am selected;
it would be a tremendous opportunity. Now, in relaxation mode, I decided to
check out another movie from 2014, The Appearing.
Plot/ A woman once possessed by a mysterious entity uncovers
a shocking secret about her past and must face the demon that dwells inside of
her.
One of the hardest genres to break into with a low-budget
indie flick are ones that are centered on possession. In this case, there is
truly nothing to differentiate it from any of the other middle of the pack
entries in this arena. In fact, there is nothing new in it and it has a very
cliché feel. The acting is stiff, the chemistry is lacking, and the storyline
may be too simple and predictable. Yes, there were some decent effect driven
moments for the low budget realm, but there is truly nothing to separate it
from many other films. In the end, this was a simple film that offers very
little for the devout horror fan. It may not be the worse in the genre, but it
is far from the best.
