I loved how exciting the twisty end of Stricken was. The genius of working in the ancient Celtic lore to a modern day who dunnit was commendable. I really enjoyed this film!

Stricken was so interesting!
SOMETHINGS DON'T STAY DEAD
Sarah (Stephanie French) has bad dreams and people around her die. Detective Scott Aro (David Fine) believes she is not the killer and has been chasing said killer for 10 years. The story takes place in Fresno as Sarah works at a nursing home. I found the plot to be okay and horror effects low budget, but effective. The main problem is the dialogue and acting was bad. Stephanie French was horrible in her role. I suggest she was cast because she was able to sing a solo. David Fine and the support cast also left much to be desired, especially his fellow policemen. The dialogue and cast took what could have been a decent film into one not worth viewing.
Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
Sadly it is everything but not scary.
This is the first time when I felt that the detective really care about his job and the family he is working with. They make a bound through the events. It was very heart warming. It was the only thing that made me watch the entire movie or else I would turn it off after 30 minutes. Sadly it is everything but not scary. I am alone here home, watching it in the dark, and I am still not scared at all. Okay it has some okay visual effect, but thats all. Although the music is great. I loved the singing at the beginning. Finally not just a useless song to make the movie longer, as I sadly often see in films. Talking about making the movie longer: it has a lot of useless scenes... This movie is worth to watch it once. But do not expect a lot.
