The Hamiltons (2006)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

A Masterpiece!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The Hamiltons are a family of six who move around a lot. Mom and Dad pass away during the opening narration. The oldest of the three brothers more or less runs things, such as scheduling appointments and arranging moves. They moved six times in two years, for instance. The middle son usually works double shifts to pay for expenses. The daughter attracts girl friends to come and visit. The youngest boy is a maladjusted twerp with a hand-held low-end movie camera.Why is this horror? The family tortures human beings, drinks their blood, and sometimes eats their flesh. They keep captives in the cellar to have a steady supply of fresh blood. They also keep a spare monster in the cellar. One gets to see the monster at the end.-----Scores------Cinematography: 7/10 No real problems here, except for the occasional Blair Witch moment, when the director forces the hand held footage on the viewer.Sound: 8/10 More good moments than bad.Acting: 2/10 Between passable and bad.Screenplay: 4/10 Not much material, not much tension. Runs more or less like a documentary, but with zero facts. This would have been a better 20 minute short.

A Zombie film is about Humans trying to survive while demons are hunting them down. A Vampire film is about Demons trying to survive in a human society, while Humans are hunting them down. The Thompson's are one of those Creepy 1970's vampire films. Y'know some creepy dude attacks a girl, then it goes back to his big castle. It then becomes slow-paced, as things come to a head, and they attack the castle. Well you take away the creepy castle and you have these nomadic goobers. The Hamiltons dispatch their first victims rather unceremoniously. And you're left wondering are these some back wood serial cannibal/serial killer. One brother is trying to fit in, get a job. 2 others love the life they live, but how long until the local yokels put one and one together.

Hamiltons,is one of the movies featured in the after dark horrorfest 2006.The movie is about a family which actually appears strange ,and they are hiding a secret about their existence.Into the movie and you will notice one thing for sure that the family is not normal but what are they and what they want ?Nothing much is explained or implied,so you have to keep your senses out and enjoy whatever is being shown.But still if you are a horror movie fan like me then you will be impressed with some of the sequences and amount of gore in the movie.Overall,there isn't much to say about this movie apart from the fact it gives you a good company when you want to spend a lonely night..!!!

The Hamiltons tells the story of the four Hamilton siblings, teenager Francis (Cory Knauf), twins Wendell (Joseph McKelheer) & Darlene (Mackenzie Firgens) & the eldest David (Samuel) who is now the surrogate parent in charge. The Hamilton's move house a lot, Franics is unsure why& is unhappy with the way things are. The fact that his brother's & sister kidnap, imprison & murder people in the basement doesn't help relax or calm Francis' nerves either. Francis know's something just isn't right & when he eventually finds out the truth things will never be the same again...Co-written, co-produced & directed by Mitchell Altieri & Phil Flores as The Butcher Brothers (who's only other film director's credit so far is the April Fool's Day (2008) remake, enough said) this was one of the 'Films to Die For' at the 2006 After Dark Horrorfest (or whatever it's called) & in keeping with pretty much all the other's I've seen I thought The Hamiltons was complete total & utter crap. I found the character's really poor, very unlikable & the slow moving story failed to capture my imagination or sustain my interest over it's 85 & a half minute too long 86 minute duration. The there's the awful twist at the end which had me laughing out loud, there's this really big sustained build up to what's inside a cupboard thing in the Hamiltons basement & it's eventually revealed to be a little boy with a teddy. Is that really supposed to scare us? Is that really supposed to shock us? Is that really something that is supposed to have us talking about it as the end credits roll? Is a harmless looking young boy the best 'twist' ending that the makers could come up with? The boring plot plods along, it's never made clear where the Hamiltons get all their money from to buy new houses since none of them seem to work (except David in a slaughterhouse & I doubt that pays much) or why they haven't been caught before now. The script tries to mix in every day drama with potent horror & it just does a terrible job of combining the two to the extent that neither aspect is memorable or effective. A really bad film that I am struggling to say anything good about.Despite being written & directed by the extreme sounding Butcher Brothers there's no gore here, there's a bit of blood splatter & a few scenes of girls chained up in a basement but nothing you couldn't do at home yourself with a bottle of tomato ketchup & a camcorder. The film is neither scary & since it's got a very middle-class suburban setting there's zero atmosphere or mood. There's a lesbian & suggest incestuous kiss but The Hamiltons is low on the exploitation scale & there's not much here for the horror crowd.Filmed in Petaluma in California this has that modern low budget look about it, it's not badly made but rather forgettable. The acting by an unknown (to me) cast is nothing to write home about & I can't say I ever felt anything for anyone.The Hamiltons commits the cardinal sin of being both dull & boring from which it never recovers. Add to that an ultra thin story, no gore, a rubbish ending & character's who you don't give a toss about & you have a film that did not impress me at all.
