I really appreciate how this movie flips the "Native American Burial Ground" trope on its head. In this movie it is the care and compassion and history of the local native community that takes down the demonic forces.
The cinematography is breath taking and there is no thin Hollywood veneer. The landscape, the weather, the practical effects are all genuine. The cast and crew deserve an award just for braving the snow alone!

The location is nice. The backstory that you will read during the opening credits is interesting. The lighting, scenery, camera work and sound are all right where they need to be. The players are in character and
what starts out as creepy, in a good way, flicker of a horror tale's ember, slowly grinds to a meandering and confused object lesson on how not to make a movie who's plot appears to be about awakened, evil indian spirits, who are super miffed over a purloined arrow head.
Don't worry I haven't spoiled anything. It won't make much sense to you either.
The more your own imagination fills in the plot holes the production never bothered to address, the better the chances will be that you may possibly find this movie watchable.
Bonus: Just as the final credits are ready to roll, a non shocking, sophomoric and hackneyed stab at a twist ending lands so flat that any redeeming qualities you may have manufactured out of charity for this wretched time waster, will fade into the same dark crevasse the plot of this film disappeared into, almost two hours ago.

The backstory takes 20 minutes to develop. The Sinchanee tribe was not wiped out by disease. Pagans who worship Atlantow (spirit of death) want to wipe out all of the Sinchanee and their seed. In 1995 Will Stark (Steven Grayhm) survives the massacre of his mother and sister by a Native American. His father, who was away at the time now suffers from mental illness. Twenty-five years later, Will inherits the home of his estranged father and we know there is an entity in it.
This is a two hour slow burn with the climax being shown as a shadow. Will had zero personality which made it very boring when he is on the screen. The two detectives on the case are divorced with shared custody. They were the only folks worth watching in this Deerfield, Mass. Saga. It felt similar to a Wedingo type of film. Plot needed better construction.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

This film is so much better then the trailer. Good acting, the storyline had plenty of plot twists and the ending had me on edge. If horror movies is your thing you will love this. Seriously well done. I highly recommend this!

Had me confused at the start, in the middle I thought there might actually be a decent movie in here but then it fizzled out. In all honesty it's not worth watching even to pass the time.

I virtually knew nothing about this 2021 horror movie titled "The Secret of Sinchanee" from writer and director Steven Grayhm when I sat down to watch it in 2022. It was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, so of course I opted to give the movie a chance.
And this was 1 hour and 55 minutes of pure torture and a complete waste of almost two hours. Man, talk about a pointless and boring movie. Every time director Steven Grayhm set up a scene with something semi-scary, intense or important, then once whatever the scene set up was brought into the open or to a climax, the scene cut to something else entirely. So there never was a follow-up to whatever was just brought to fruition on the screen, and it left me not caring an ounce about the storyline or the characters milling about therein.
This movie was insanely slow paced. Trust me, you have no idea the lengths of snail pace that this movie manages to accumulate. Running at 1 hour and 55 minutes, I felt like I was sitting down for twice that period of time. And to make matters even worse, then nothing interesting or scary happened on the screen, so it was just a total waste of time.
Sure, I am not familiar with the Mohican folklore of Atlantow, and after having seen "The Secret of Sinchanee", then I can't claim that I care or have any interest to know more.
The acting performances in "The Secret of Sinchanee" were actually fair enough, especially when taking into consideration the heap of rubbish that passed as a script and storyline here. But it was just a shame that the performances could do nothing to salvage the train wreck that is known as "The Secret of Sinchanee".
Seriously, as the movie ended I felt like I had virtually wasted 1 hour and 55 minutes of my life on nothing. There was no fullfilling climax moments in the storyline and everything felt incredibly superficial and pointless.
If you, like myself, am a big fan of horror movies, do yourself a massive favor and stay well clear of "The Secret of Sinchanee". It just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort. The only horror about this movie is how utterly pointless and slow paced it was.
My rating of "The Secret of Sinchanee" lands on a very, very generous two out of ten stars, and that is based on the production level and the fact that the actors and actresses managed to put on such stalwart performances despite the fact of having literally nothing to work with.

After his father's death, a man returns to his old house to put the finishing touches on the property when he starts to experience a series of strange events that keep him up late into the night and start affecting his work, eventually discovering the cause to be a Native American curse attached to the land.
Overall, this was a highly enjoyable if slightly flawed genre effort. Among the more impressive aspects to be had here is the intricate and complex web of storylines present here involving the numerous plot points brought up. With the central story involving a tribe of peaceful Indians that were supposedly immune to diseases and somehow turned into a cult of pagan practitioners, an Indian curse featuring a generational abuse on its people for several centuries and finally resorting to possession, mental illness, and involvement in a slew of mysterious accidents spread throughout the town all being investigated by a detective assigned to the small town from a major city. This is an incredibly strong storyline that gives this one the potential to have something intriguing going on and the film works quite nicely because of it which sets up the idea of these things happening in a location like this. That also leads into the films' series of supernatural scares once these various elements have been fully explored. The idea of the house he's living in being haunted by a malevolent spirit dominates the first half, causing some short shock jump-scares that further the idea of something going on involving the family curse that was brought up at the beginning of the film. Other scenes, including the idea of something out in the woods serving as a physical representation of the supernatural entity they're fighting generate some solid sequences here or featuring the possessed individual speaking in demonic tones to himself about the strange curse about to be wrought. With a solid finale offering some supernatural action and a fun resolution to everything, there are some rather likable factors at play here. There isn't much really wrong here, but it's a big issue and is quite detrimental. That is the films' obviously overlong and unnecessary running time that has no business being as long as it is, with the intricate storyline coming into play with several issues here. Not only is it all way too complex and overbearing for something of this nature, but there's also way too much going on here that is never explained or overexplained leading to several other side issues from its length. Since way too much is going on here, the film also desperately needs an editor to trim this down as the film's a good twenty-thirty minutes too long as it is with scenes here coming off as unnecessary and need to be removed or scenes that go on way past their usefulness, including many of the interactions between the detective and her daughter which play into the film's storyline but are just overlong. It's the one issue with the film and holds it back the most.
Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

I thought this film was extremely compelling from start to finish. It almost plays like a character study. This film also gets big points for originality. It's so rare to see a film that feels so authentic and raw, outside the Hollywood system. I would recommend this film to you if you enjoy crime thrillers where you have to tease the riddle, but also enjoy the big scares of a paranormal thriller. Solid movie.

This movie was beautiful to watch. The story was intense and kept me drawn in, especially to the main character's torments. Interesting story line and a fair few jumps scares makes The Secret of Sinchanee worth a watch!
