Deadly Sanctuary (2015)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Beautiful, moving film.

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

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie is nothing like "Gone Girl", which the cover promised. I've seen the main girl, Kendel, in other movies. She's always great even though I barley recognized her with red hair.I liked the character though. I've watched Rebecca Kocahn in real thrillers...this isn't one of them,sadly. However the dialouge was terrible and this movie was hard to follow...maybe if I had read the book it would make more sense. Some our the character exchanges were even laughable. Oh well. Entertaining enough. I'll probably watch the next one. My husband has a thing for red heads.LOL. I just feel like they used false advertising to get me to buy it. GUess they got me.

Great movie depiction of an awesome mystery book! Sylvia Nobel is one of the Best Mystery writers that I have ever had the privilege of reading. Then... to have it flourish into a movie... Yippee! I was excited to see it come to life! Truly a piece of art. Fantastic scenery shots in Arizona. I couldn't help but chuckle through the "local AZ" wit! Can you say "Sexy" main characters! I loved seeing some famous faces act out this story. At each turn you question.. Who Done IT??!!! Quite Gripping! I could not believe that this was based off a true story! A great movie that the whole family can enjoy together! Can't wait for #2 of the series!!

Having not read the Kendall O' Dell series prior to seeing the film I was not sure what I was in store for and I was not let down; the story was fantastic. I would have loved to see a slight more focus on the mystery because those scenes were quite captivating, however it was not a drawback for me. The film had some well known names who did not disappoint including a stellar performance by Eric Roberts, and fairly new names such as Marco Dapper, who I am looking forward to seeing more from after seeing this film. The score fell a little flat for my liking but did feature fantastic songs here and there. I loved the scenery, and thought the art direction was great throughout. Overall my only complaint was that I felt as though Kendall's character deserved a better performance. I would love to see another Kendall O' Dell movie be made.

I've seen home movies of friends of their vacations which were more interesting, no not really. But you couldn't do much worse. If you are a fan of Eric Roberts you could labour through to catch a few glimpses of him, but for the other 99% of humanity give this a wide berth. The lesser known actors try hard but it shows. I feel it is the fault of the director and editor, because the material is very much there, I have not read the book, but would imagine it is not at the mediocre level of this film. The locales and other background is spectacular and could have been used to greater effect. And seriously who stops in the middle of the desert on a deserted road to make a cellular call to daddy to berate him. In high heels driving a Jeep Wrangler no less
