This movie is starting pretty slowly, (for around 5 min) before you will see Cassie (C.Ricci) that actually cling you to watch the movie. The movie is about a girl name Cassie, losing her memories after got hit by the car and to find out some mysterious and weird things that happen around her and the family (the one that hit her) she stay with when the mysterious buried church was found. The gathering will be explain what are they, in the movie so I don't want to spoil your mood. Overall it is one very good movie and very much thrilling. C. Ricci look really great here and with such a pretty flawless story line this movie is recommended for the one who like to see something a little different in a horror movie. NOTE: It contain some very disturbing image. Rating: 7/10 (Grade: B-)

as it is a fantasy movie, revealing too many secrets can be a bad thing; let's just say that the original idea is quite good but the treatment is so classic, following the usual traps of that kind of movie; a disappointment.

I usually don't write comments on here, but I thought that this movie was so bad that I had to alert fellow movie lovers that this is NOT a movie to watch. The movie contains bad acting, bad directing, bad everything. The movie drags on and at some points you can't help but fast forward.Christina Ricci's acting is so bad that you can only laugh at some parts LOL. At least pick a hotter chick if you're going to make such a bad film. I heard Megan Fox wasn't a good actor, but I automatically go deaf when she appears on the screen. I gave this movie a 1 out of 10 and I'd rather have a case of swine flu then watch this again.

I wasted my Sunday watching this crap. Started out pretty good for about the first 20 minutes then showed it's true intention which is truly despicable and weak. F- Don't waste your time. Blah blah blah. Blah. More words needed? Blah. Stupid. Ignorant. Boring. Waste. Ludicrous. Dull. Tiny Tim dingo bore. Don't watch. Go watch something better. Not 600 characters yet? Ok. How's that for ya? Not enough yet? Ghjutewschkokok bhrswstuio njoiyrssdchhjj. Cvggsshjkjgf. Jhfssfhkkgds xxx hhjjytrrfhjkkkk.8iu65t. Hhfddghj. What the ????? Fdxfhjhfdfjjhgfdxv.

This film is about a young woman having horrible visions of the future, after being hit by a car. I didn't know anything about the film before I saw it, and I bought it only for Christina Ricci. It was long ago that I have been so captivated by a film! The plot is new and interesting, and I don't recall seeing anything like it (that's because I don't watch that many horror films). Weird or scary things happen often enough throughout the film, and to my comfort there are no excessive violence or blood. The suspense is kept throughout the film. The idea of the "gathering" is really new to me and I am surprised that this has not come up anywhere before. I really liked the film!

The central idea of this movie is very intriguing. Think about what M. Night Shyamalan could have done with this: On the outskirts Glastonbury, the remains of a church are uncovered which have apparently been deliberately buried centuries before. Most noticeable is the presence a fresco of people facing a statue of the crucified Jezus Christ. Coincidently, a young woman (Christina Ricci) is hit by a car and taken in by the woman responsible. The young woman can't remember what she was doing near Glastonbury. It turns out that the people depicted in the fresco are The Gathering, who seem to be present at numerous horrific occasions in history, simply observing the suffering. Now, these people are walking around in Glastonbury ... Unfortunately, this idea is the only real merit of this movie. I just can't begin to explain how this movie could have been improved upon. Now, it's basically a great idea poorly executed. With Christina Ricci frantically running around in tight shirts.

Although The Gathering is not my favorite biblical horror film, this movie was really entertaining. Christina Ricci acted fabulously, of course, and all the lines and scenes were edgy and new. I really loved how when there would be something that is supposed to be creepy or scary, they would not play stupid irritating music. They would just let it happen without any rhythms or beats, and I found that interesting and respectable. The twist I would say is really awesome. I would have never suspected it, and it came without warning which really blew my mind. The lines are good, and I might say some material was sleezy, cheesy, and cheap, but for the most of this movie the dialogue was steady. I had never heard anything about this movie when I first watched it, and now I consider a very good movie. I own it and plan on watching it again real soon.

I wasn't expecting much at all, but it couldn't even live up to that. Essentially its' a by-the-numbers American thriller that just happens to take place in a small English town. Maybe I would've been more forgiving if it was Hollywood-glossy, extremely violent and had a sense of humor about it's own lack of originality (if it in other words had more of a postmodern vibe and was shamelessly attempting never to be boring)... but instead it's visually low-key in that European TV kinda way, I constantly expected Inspector Morse or Dalgliesh to come through the door, utterly sure of its own cleverness and complexity (which is a bit silly since there's no surprises worth talking about and it's about as deep as Models Inc.) and completely devoid of scares. Not even the cheap scares work (with one notable exception I won't get into here), nor does it deliver as a drama, since the plot demands that the central character stay pretty empty (the good ol' trick amnesia is dragged out) and none of the other characters does much of anything but spout heavy handed exposition. The film just doesn't deliver in any kinda way. Ricci is excellent, dressed in tight jeans and tight tops she's quite the visual spectacle as well, and the acting by the mainly British cast isn't bad either, but none of that can turn the script and the lackluster direction ("from the director of Not Without my Daughter comes a haunting horror movie") into a good film.
