616 Wilford Lane

This movie kept my partner & I engrossed throughout. I love anything paranormal. Didn't have many jump scares but still a tad on the creepy side but the twist. One of us usually always guesses what's going on in the movie but wow, didn't see that one coming! Recommend for a rainy day if you're into a good thriller/light horror.

This is a movie that could've been much better. The storyline started out similar to others, where a parent takes the kids/teens away after a family tragedy, and move into a different house with "a past". The acting wasn't great. I did not know many of the actors apart from the guy who played the mayor. I made it through the movie with a few eye rolls, especially because of the disgusting behavior of one of the daughters. The movie was wrapping up, and I thought the parent and daughters were getting a justified refund because of a non-disclosure issue with the house they bought, but then the movie takes a total DIVE - and it's sick & twisted. IMO too far fetched and disgusting even for someone watching who is not a prude.

I can get past the fact that it actually isn't a horror movie, but the casting choices were weak and the story wasn't interesting at all. All the actors were so robotic. The "twist" wasn't really all that proprietary when you consider that the "father" looks young for his supposed age while the two "daughters" did not appear to be high school students. Did the three grifters really have to put on an act the entire time they were in the house alone? For the sake of the viewer that made sense, but come on- you only really need to care about pretending during the staged supernatural footage. The cinematography was fine, that's the only plus.

Yes very weak script, well.... On the surface. This film is well shot, really cheesy at times(maybe on purpose), well that will have meaning after. John LIttlefield has a great performance, as well as the rest of the cast. To the folks with negative reviews, they must not of watched this until the end. Also special thanks to Eric Roberts, he's always good. Why such a short review? Well it's because I don't want to spoil it silly! That's all I got. Bravo to the writers and director!

This movie is like bad whoopi. The build up to the end isn't super enjoyable but I mean hey, at least you get to finish. The plot is fine and there are some well done, violent scenes. The acting from the 3 leads is solid (some small role actors weren't good, however). And yeah, you don't really need nudity in movies anymore cause of the internet but I was really expecting it at some point here lol Now for the real reason you're reading this... that ending. While I respect the fact the writers made something out of the ordinary, the actual setup doesn't make sense. I am okay with the weirdness of female actors in their late twenties portraying high school girls, but were they actually high school aged characters?? Because one of them slept with a guy in high school lol (not that any guy would mind). I am okay with their ability to fool an insurance agency who does EXTENSIVE research on a case such as this which would involve major payouts as they would have his SSN. I am okay with the frumpy male actor somehow being God's gift to women and conveniently able to sleep with the realtor in order to obtain the footage. I am okay with the blonde not being arrested which would obviously happen. There are a total of zero cases in which attempted double homicide has been ignored cause "Ghosts, your honor. Naw Mean?" I am NOT okay with the writers cheating, however. The "family" would be acting normal when they are alone with each other. Con artists aren't method actors that keep up the facade whilst alone with each other at home, let alone have 10 minute fake conversations as if someone was watching. That's just ridiculous. The guy would not be telling the blonde "you're just sleepwalking" to point to one example. But overall, I was glad I watched it and speaking frankly, they conned me as well into believing it was actually a horror flick. That hasn't been done since Cabin in the Woods. Kudos! (I rate movies based on expectations. You can't put Sharknado on the same scale as Jaws.)

I don't know if I watched a different movie than the people who gave this anything over a 3, but the film I watched was a slow, low budget bore with horrible acting.

I stumbled upon "616 Wilford Lane" by random chance, and of course I sat down to watch it, as I hadn't already seen it before. But as I hadn't even heard about this movie from writers Howard Burd, Dante Yore and Mark S. Allen, then I didn't know what to expect. Granted, I wasn't really harboring much of any high hopes for the movie, as it had Eric Roberts on the cast list, but thankfully he was not in the movie all that much. And the movie started out fairly okay, not great, but adequately entertaining. And it was fun enough to watch what was going on, especially since the movie was gradually building up with the pseudo-spooky stuff, which wasn't actually spooky, but I suppose it was meant to appear to be. And then the movie takes a very unforeseen turn towards the end, and I must admit that it felt like a slap to the face with a cold, dead fish. That turn of events was just laughably bad. But wait, it gets better, because the movie takes another turn after that, just when you get to digest that first twist. And that second twist, just rams in the knife of excruciating laughable pain even further. And I have to admit that the movie instantly went from being mediocre to below mediocre with that first twist of events, and then fell down to insulting with the second twist of events. Of course I am not going to spoil the movie by giving away the ending here, but wow, come on. That was just ludicrous. And I must than writers Howard Burd, Dante Yore and Mark S. Allen from the bottom of my heard for virtually wasting 1 hour and 25 minutes of my life with this heap of garbage called "616 Wilford Lane". John Littlefield really carried the movie quite well with his performance in the movie, despite of how much I abhor the storyline after this ending I was served. But I will say that he really performed quite well and put on a very believable performance in "616 Wilford Lane". It should be said that the character gallery in the movie was actually quite good and the writers had definitely put some effort into establishing the characters and make them feel like people you could relate to. At least "616 Wilford Lane" had that working for it. I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movies such as "616 Wilford Lane", just turned out that I wasn't a member of that particular audience, because I feel cheated. I am rating "616 Wilford Lane" a generous two out of ten stars based on the initial build up of the movie. I can't say that I care one bit about the dual twists towards the end of the movie, no, not one bit.

The film opens by letting use know 616 is the real number of the beast. We then watch a family wiped out by a murder-suicide at said 616 residence in Auburn because Amityville has been beat to death. Jim (John Littlefield) recently lost his wife and moves in the same house with two teen daughters. The realtor (Jasmine Waltz who looks like Megan Fox) never disclosed the information. Strange this happen in the house. The film has Jessica Chancellor running around in a bikini. Weird things start to happen as the family gets spooked. Their neighbor is the mayor and his wife played by Eric and Eliza Roberts, his real life wife. Then there is the poorly developed but likeable twist. Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

If I could give negative stars if I could. This movie was the biggest waste of time. I will say one thing if you guys need help.

The storyline was uncanny and the characters were fun to watch LOL. SPOILER ALERT............. The movie opens with a dying woman saying goodbye to her husband and two gorgeous gals.....then the funeral...then the move to a gated community to escape grieving . The usual security footage of room to room goes bye and reveals a sleepwalker getting a rifle and killing his family and then himself. Jim and the girls , Staci & Randy move in to the mansion and start experiencing ghostly occurrences . The Sherriff gets involved to no avail. The Mayor ( Eric Roberts and his real wife ) and wife welcome them and then you don't see them until later in the film for a minute . The girls meet boys and do the flirt & tease thing in a few scenes and then all of them experience ghostly happenings. The last 10 minutes are just too complicated to explain after Staci sleepwalks and tries to shoot Randy until Jim returns to save the day and get the family out of the real estate deal for millions more than he paid. The part I didn't get is why Jim was having sex with his daughter and celebrating pulling off a scam of scariness to rip off the realters of millions . Then Staci poisons Jim and Randy and drives off with all the cash . They flashback to Robin ( mother ) dying and whispering in Staci's ear to kill Jim for no given back story of a reason . Overall, I enjoyed the movie , waiting to be scared and waiting for the gratuitus nudity that never occurred, thus making it a good security footage thriller with a HUGE twist of an ending.
