To me, this movie is perfection.

Just what I expected

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I love the fake reviews that can't say one specific thing about the movie. I found that if you mute any scene with all five college-ish girls the movie is watchable. Their dialogue is unbelievably forced, especially when they 'laugh' at each others' jokes. Lines like 'I begged my vibrator to take me back' or 'let's hit the trail like horsesh*t'. The 'actress' character and the wise cracking but completely unfunny lesbian character look like they're in their 40's.

Run, Hide, Die is just now making the rounds of On-Demand. Watched this little stinker last evening. It is yet another indie-crap film made for little-to-nothing and released on an unsuspecting audience.Five 35+ year old "college" female students are off to help one friend celebrate (and move past) a bad incident in her life. So, off they go into the wild blue yonder to find (natch) the proverbial cabin-in-the-middle-of-nowhere for a party. The "acting" in this was just awful, as was the sound, picture quality, editing, and directing. The movie, although listed at only 75 minutes, seems to take FOREVER to get going. You have 20-plus minutes of stupid drunken dialogue (most of which you cannot hear). The killer shows up and then you're treated to 10-plus minutes of wailing during which dialogue was written but, again, you're clueless as to what's being said because you can't make any of it out.There is not one redeeming quality about this poor excuse for a movie. We have all seen movies that were (literally) so-bad-they- are-good, but this is not one of them. This is just plain BAD. Rated "whatever" for language and violence.

This movie is independent and it sometimes shows. Do not let that stop you from excitedly pressing play as soon as you get the chance. This horror film will surprise you. It will give you leads that are smart, funny, and well thought-out. It will give you an intelligent, dialogue-driven script and actors who can handle it. Most importantly, this horror film will do what horror films rarely do in recent years; it will genuinely horrify you by the final credits. I have seen, literally , hundreds and hundreds of horror films (my personal favorite genre) and enjoyed many. This film is enjoyable in parts, especially when establishing the likable and funny characters in the first half. But, make no mistake, it is not a film that leaves you with pleasant feelings. This film left me distressed, unsettled, and unnerved. It did so without insulting my intelligence and it even shocked me a time or two. A throw-back and an innovative horror film at once makes "The Anniversary" most definitely worth a watch.

This film takes you from the depths of sadness and regret to the pinnacle of terror; with the subtlety of a well-oiled door easing shut behind you, you realize you're enmeshed in a world of unimaginable horror. After literally decades of cookie-cutter, predictable genre horror, I was truly shaken for the first time in years. Physically ready to jump up and run for the nearest door, or the bathroom to toss my nerve-wracked cookies. The twists and reveals are original and unique, a stand- out in a world of horror films that long ago ran out of anything new to offer. All the more relevant to the 90s setting is the bird's-eye view of the inescapable realities of that age, brought to you in screaming, bloody technicolor.I haven't yet worked up the courage to watch it again; I know what's coming this time.
