Do You Believe In Fairies?.......2007-07-16

Synopsis: A family of four, husband, wife, son and daughter move into a house in a nice, seemingly quiet suburban neighborhood only to later discover the dark and mysterious history of their new abode. The previous owners were also a family of four with a little daughter the same age as their own. Both parents died in a tragic house fire which according to the little girl was started by a group of malicious fairies she had befriended. Was the little girl insane? If she wasn't was there the possibility that the fairies would contact the new girl and attempt to destroy her family as well?

Critique: Released in '03 the low budget production `Inhabited' is loosely based on the `73 made-for-television cult classic `Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'. This updated version is actually quite different from the original storyline except for the presence of the diminutive, malicious "little people." While this '03 revisioning is unable to duplicate the level of anxiety, the creatures unnerving appearance, or the devastating impact of the ending of its predescessor, the film does succeed in establishing a mood and feel all its own. The cast delivers surprisingly strong, believable performances, especially the little girl. While you won't get as "creeped out" as you did watching `Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' you'll still enjoy `Inhabited' on its own merits and probably keep watching until the end.

Lost art of Horror Movies.......2006-12-04

The making of horror movies really has become a lost art. I purchased this movie expecting to see a remake of the classic "Dont Be Afraid of the Dark", which was made back in 1973. I was disappointed to say the least. This movie is not remotely scary and furthermore it is extremely boring. Cheap special effects, bad acting and an overall poor script doom this film. Do yourself a favor and rent the original if you are looking for a scare, this one will only waste your time and money.

POLTERGEIST meets GREMLINS.......2006-02-26

INHABITED is about a family that moves into a nice suburban home, only to find out that the place is overrun by evil little trolls called Huldre. At first, these creatures seem friendly, quickly gaining the trust of the little girl in the family. But soon enough, they reveal they're true nature as evil little jerks who are intent on killing anyone who moves into the house except the youngest member of the family, making them seem like seriously desturbed children.

INHABITED is creepy, has some good actor in it, and is just fun and cool. It makes a good weekend rental, and it contians very little mature content, so you can watch it your kids if they want to see it.

I see little people.......2005-08-26

A family move into an old house with a bad history. No, not ghosts. a little girl claims to have made friends with fairies that only she can see. Her family shrink says she is delusional, but eventually her mother believes her and decides it is time to leave the house. The fairies have other ideas.

Not bad, just not great. It's all been done before.

GRIM FAIRY TALE.......2005-01-12

Relying heavily on the oddly perverse fairy tales of our youth, INHABITED is a fairly good thriller that collapses at the end. The Russells move into this old house that needs restoring after a fire in the fifties. They have a darling little girl of course and a prepubescent son. The little girl has imaginary playmates she calls "fairies" and Mom and Dad humor her for a while. Then a mysterious handyman appears claiming that these so called fairies are actually horrifying little creatures out to claim the little girl. Mom and Dad consult the local shrink and ask him to confirm that their daughter is merely enjoying an active imagination.
Of course we know the fairies are real and dangerous, and soon the little girl does too but it may be too late because the little trolls are planning on wiping out anyone who stands in their way. Early in the movie, the trolls or fairies are shown quickly and briefly and they have a rather menacing effect. However, at the climax, one can tell that we now have actors in funny suits and clothes pretending to be trolls and the movie descends into a rather "Puppetmasterish" type of horror..it's no longer frightening, but funny.
Megan Gallagher doesn't rise to the challenge of the mother; she always seems to be looking around for something---maybe her lines? Eric Lutes as hubby Brad is strong and supportive, but his role is more of a necessity than an addition; Malcolm McDowell starts out as a kindly old gent but then turns malicious when he realizes the potential for a major "psychological" breakthrough; the children do okay, but it's the durable Patty McCormack (The Bad Seed) whose quiet presence as the mentally challenged Olivia who brings the movie its finesse in the acting department.
This certainly isn't an awful movie; it just could have been so much better had they kept their focus instead of trying to overwhelm us with made up little people.

A Good Message, But Awefully Short.......2006-06-25

This DVD contains a good message but unfortunately is very short and leaves much to be wanted. I was looking for videos of the songs from the Revolution CD, but I didn't find that. Although some of the songs are included in the brief video, not all of them are. In the future I hope Inhabited will think to make a better DVD to better express their music.

If you are going to watch this DVD, make sure you first listen to the Revolution CD. That is one awesome CD that I recommend to all rock music lovers who like to get inspiration from the music they listen to!
