Rosewood Lane (2011)
Radio talk show therapist Sonny Blake moves back to her childhood home on seemingly idyllic Rosewood Lane after her alcoholic father dies. But upon arrival in the old neighborhood, Sonny discovers her neighbors are terrified of the local paperboy. She thinks this is ridiculous, until she encounters the boy himself. It turns out that he is a cunning and dangerous sociopath, one who may have gruesomely killed her father - and others.

best movie i've ever seen.
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
It took me three attempts to watch this movie in its entirety.I found the start super slow and I just couldn't get hooked into it, I felt like there was a lot of repeating and I didn't find it scary or jumpy or even creepy.I was starting to go down the route of 'demon paperboy' after the multiple signs, which is why I came back a third time to finish the movie. I was hoping it'd turn a little bit paranormal or scary but it didn't.I found the ending really confusing. I don't understand what happened to Bennett or Monster. After the character gets killed through the cat flap I found it almost hit fast forward and everything happened at once.You don't get told why the cop stayed around or snuck back into the house after the power cut and that really annoyed me. I felt like it was another plot hole after Bennett going missing.After the paperboy gets killed, and you see his triplets at the funeral, I hoped that there would be a little more explanation but it just kinda ended. I've searched online for one but everyone seems to be as confused as me.I'd watch it again if I was with someone who wanted to see it but I wouldn't purchase it on DVD or recommend.
Nothing much comes together in this sloppy and somewhat confusing entry in the "suburbs are not all that safe" Genre. If we didn't know by now, it is a place with hidden horrors and beneath the clean exteriors lie dirty, and scary secrets.What secrets reside here, are hardly explored, explained, or for that matter, halfway through this thing you won't care. It is a mishandled, muddled attempt that cannot be forgiven its lame premise and truly awful Script and Direction.The Movie is disjointed and rarely remotely scary with a dull sense of disbelief. Characters behave in such a way that even Horror Movie conventions are stretched to a point of Audience forgiveness. Everything is telegraphed, draining what little suspense is concocted and it results in a clunky, clever-less Film that can be a chore to get through. Making it to the end of this dud might be considered an achievement, but that accomplishment will soon dissipate because the End does not justify the Means. It is as flat and uninspired as the rest.
Jesus Christ. this is true victor salva! if you liked jeepers creepers you will surely enjoy this, same elements and at one point even the same scene. the man can make a truly creepy movie without punching you in the face with the CGI, something rare these days. well shot, low budget gold! rose mcgowan incredible, just like in planet terror. awesome movie, its definitely worth a watch for the horror movie guys. i REALLY don't understand how this has such a low rating! try watching it. awesome movie, good acting. victor salva has done it again. i have to say it one more time: IF YOU LIKED JEEPERS CREEPERS AND JEEPERS CREEPERS 2 (and cant wait for the third part) YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS. GOOD MOVIE IN ALL THE WAYS! if you are not too critic with it it can take you inside the story and make you feel it. as his other movies it has some sequences that make your heart go like if you were living the scene. cant wait for the next salva work.

Despite that it is clear Rose McGowan has had plastic surgery excessively lately (yes, I know, it has nothing really to do with the film), her character was interesting as was the story. A good suspense, mystery, psychological (arguably) thriller which drew me in and I wasn't expecting all that much. But pay attention. There is a lot going on in the film even though you may not realize it. I liked the plot/premise and at times you might question who/what is really the "bad guy", so to speak. I wouldn't classify it too much as a Horror (but then again, my Horror standards are extremely high) yet there are some creepy/weird moments. I was satisfied with the film but I do still have questions which is not to say the ending is good or bad...we can draw our own conclusions but some may see it as black and white and see the ending immediately. Give it a try, why not?
