The Black Dahlia Haunting (2012)

Why so much hype?

good back-story, and good acting

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

What a different twist to an old news story!.. I have had the pleasure of meeting Britt Griffith (Dr. Brian Owen) on several occasions and all I can say is I will have to look at him in a whole new light.. For the most part I like this movie, it was kind of slow paced in a few places. And I have to ask if anyone knows the significance of Dr. Brian Owen playing with his wedding ring and then taking it off? Also with the man named Malcolm (Brandon Slagle) who found the knife that I guess killed Elizabeth Short, was a little confusing to me. I do know that I own this movie now so I will be able to go back and re-watch it to maybe see if I missed something. Good job Britt on your first acting adventure!

The first scene confused me. Would be better if the knife was found during a bonfire party on the beach(outside the cave) with other people. The Norma Jean and Elizabeth Short scene didn't make any sense. It took 25 mins for things to pick up/make sense. Once it did, wow. Wicked, eery, and twisted. Britt did a great job playing a psycho. Now I understood the method of how Elizabeth Short was killed. But if there was so much evidence against the doctor and nurse, why weren't they arrested? What happened to them? Imo, I agree that she WAS killed by two ppl, but not the ones in question. I believe that it was an actress( that was jealous of her) and her boyfriend and that she was lured out to the field where her body was found

I saw this movie last night at the Stanley Hotel and absolutely LOVED IT!!! The actors/actresses were amazing. Britt Griffith was CREEPY, but gave an awesome and VERY convincing performance!! Definitely 100% different than how he is in person and on the TV Show Ghost Hunters!!I loved the way the plot intermingled between the different characters and tied everything together. The scenes between Holly and the Black Dahlia was really cool. There was one disturbing scene, I think everyone in the viewing cringed (including the men).Cannot wait for this to be released to DVD so I can purchase it!!!!

I was able to see the preview of the Black Dalia Haunting recently and was impressed by the story line. When I first started watching, I was a bit confused by some of the characters and how they tied into the movie, but with every good horror flick, it is when it all comes together that you have your eureka moment! When I can figure out the story up until the ending from the beginning, it is predictable, but when it all just gels together suddenly...it makes the story intriguing! One scene that added a special character touch was a simple scene in the bathroom where the mirror was split and showed the person in both sides, which simply added a touch of Hitchcock, what I thought. Overall, the movie had some very creepy scenes. I enjoyed it!
