The Whittler
kenlico29 October 2020
I watched it thought it was a nice ghost film put out at the right time with Halloween in a couple days. Funny at times. The girls are adorable. Was not expecting that ending but understand the meaning behind it. I liked it a lot will watch it again!!!

A good directorial debut
jaysonsilliman19 November 2020
As an independent film, this worth a look. I would categorize this as a heist film with supernatural undertones. Al Snow's presence is definitely felt as the mastermind to this dubious plot. Good cinematography, but the audio could have used a little work. A few good twists in the plot make things interesting. Definitely a good debut for a director. A learning opportunities as well. Can't wait to see what he has in store next.

Wish I Hadn't Wasted My Time.
ferdmalenfant27 October 2020
Worse than BAD, this movie is a trainwreck of low budget FX's and the acting is reading from cue cards. Don't bother, I did and I regret every 67 minutes.

Couldn't get past the first 15 minutes!

The acting was so bad! Where do they find these people? Wooden acting, bad story, dubious quality. Why does this movie get reviews of 9s and 10s? Must have been watching different films......

Easily the worst film ever
kdhbarca8 November 2020
This film has no redeming qualities, bad acting, bad camera work and awful dubbing. Avoid!

its not a lone star movie...
ops-5253527 October 2020
But its not far away. not texas dummy, its 2 stars worthy, and that is for stamina, and conequent use of specialeffects of breathing fog when a ghost is present.

otherwise it comes under the genrecathegory called ''homemade'', and then i mean real redneck deep southern appalachian wrangler overalls and zz-topbearded breadheads doing a robbery at a local inn that have just held a x-mas donation party for the incorporated city they all live in.the group of thugs are tough and rough but when it comes to ghosts they have no experience and no stamina to conquer the cowboyclad that got shot at that spot several decades ago and hangs about still due to a restless legs syndrome that wont give peace in his sole.

so now you know what your in for as a superfiscial spoiler, its good on the dialect and there are one child doing well on the act the rest is just hommies.

production are low standard, bad lightsetting, bad sound, shaky camera, and a hopeless choice of music, its an inch from ya'll be looking at the grumpy old man doing a shaky shaky linedance, so be thankful i spare you for that.

its a film that everyone can do a film,and it also gives some clues to why stay away from making a film. feature lenghth it aint, and thank god for that. so its a recommend if youre a homevideo lover

The worst audio of all time
retriple23 April 2022
I've watched a lot of bad movies in my day. I've seen bad acting, bad directing, bad effects and bad writing .... but blatantly bad sound is a whole new thing. I guess there was an accident on the way back from the set and all the original audio was lost, because they rerecorded literally every line of dialog in this movie. I guess they had already spent the movies' budget, because the results are nothing short of comedy gold.

In almost all cases the level of intensity in the ADR is completely off from what's happening on screen - someone barely moving their lips on screen is practically yelling in the ADR booth. Other times, they aren't even trying to sync the dialog with lips, it's straight Milli Vanilli here folks. Also, the sound engineers made no effort to match the audio ambience with what's happening on screen - every bit of audio sounds like it came off a lapel mic, in a closet. So it stands to reason that they also completely forgot to do foley.

Well done!
billmscott28 October 2020
As a real paranormal investigator I found the story well told and suspenseful. The edge of your seat unfolding of the narrative gave a high energy feel to project as one waited with baited breath to see the conclusion. And it didn't disappoint! I found it edgy and clean breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend.

Great story telling and a down home feel
sypheroptix28 October 2020
I watched the film twice and and for the budget it was a great story. It was a fun play on sacrifice and relationships across the board I enjoyed the characters especially the ghosts. They gave great character and excellent acting. The Some of the acting i felt could have been better. But for a low budget thriller it was not bad acting. I love campy horror movies and will keep this on at the top of my list.

Truly Enjoyable Movie
jarredconn29 October 2020
It was an over all good movie, also with additions of comedians Andrew Conn, Catfish Cooley in the mix with Al Snow gives it comical mix with true actual horror story. I'm excited for a sequel if or when it comes.

Fun and tense.
titangamesowner28 October 2020
As a directorial debut, I think Whit did well with the Whittler. The Lil girls were equally cute and creepy. I've actually seen the movie, as opposed to a lot of anti-fan bs masquerading as reviewers.
