Greetings (2007)
Uninspired Greetings
Just finished this low budget supernatural thriller. British friends together for a party decide to play around with a Ouija board. A familiar setup. Mayhem ensues. Flat script, poor acting. Some of the special effects were cheesy and at times made little sense. I appreciate how difficult it is to make a compelling film in the horror genre. Filming in the close quarters of a British flat is a particular challenge. I saw no redeeming qualities in this film, and no particular innovation achieved. Overall, I was disappointed, underwhelmed, and relieved to see the closing credits.

Don't say I didn't warn you
I applaud the daring of the production here. They were successful in putting together a complete film on an apparent shoe string budget. Unfortunately, that is where the compliments end. The acting was stale, bordering on plastic . The script was sophomoric. The photography and editing made for an almost unwatchable film. But I stuck through to the end from a 'so bad it's funny' point of view. The part that I found funniest was **spoiler alert** at some point in the movie one of the characters will be attacked and abducted, but watch the other characters in the scene. They offer almost no reaction. No screams. No "where did she go?". No running after her. They seem to be standing around looking at each other like, "who has the next line?". Gotta love independent films.
