The director is still new to the craft and he's got a lot to learn. Most of the actors' performances were sub-par and the pacing was its own horror, we fell asleep twice, then had to use the FF control to get to the end. I can see this attempt only effective on those under-10, just bad.

Well, granted I was lured in by this 2019 thriller's movie cover/poster, and I actually had no idea what the movie was about or who was in it. The movie seemed like a horror movie, little did I know that it was a mere thriller, so I sat down to watch it. And "Widow's Point" was a swing and a miss from director Gregory Lamberson in terms of entertaining me. Sure, the movie was semi-watchable, but it was very, very slow-paced and rather uneventful. And when something did happen, it was just something bland which made me merely shrug my shoulders at best. For a thriller, then "Widow's Peak" was stale and generic. The storyline was very scripted and predictable, which most definitely didn't add an ounce of enjoyment to the movie, to be honest. What did work for the movie was the fact that Craig Sheffer was on the cast list. But even with him on the cast list it wasn't much of an uplifting addition to the movie, because he had very little to work with. The special effects in "Widow's Peak" were not impressive. They worked as intended, for sure, but they were by no means impressive, especially for a movie from 2019. I am rating "Widow's Peak" a mere, but generous, three out of ten stars. I wasn't impressed nor entertained. And chances of me returning to watch "Widow's Point" ever again are about as big of a me winning the lottery; and since I don't play the lottery, well...

Author Thomas Livingston (Craig Sheffer ) convinces the owner (Michael Thurber) of the haunted Widow's Point Lighthouse to let him stay there a weekend. He is locked in the lighthouse for 2 days. There are ghosts in the film and flashbacks to previous events. It reminded me of "1408" except only half as good. I think with some name stars and a better script adaptation this would have been a good story. I wasn't too fond of the reason for all the deaths which we get 5 minutes from the end. Filmed at Point Gratiot Light in Dunkirk, NY. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Growing up, I would watch bad movies, it was fun. I would get a kick out of how bad they were and some of those bad movies are now considered cult classics. But this one is irredeemable. The scene at the end of the movie looks like it was made on a home computer from the early 90s. The best part of the whole movie is when Rosa takes off her shoes.

Too many suspense/horror films rely on gore and jump scares. This one truly felt like something "new". While this isn't a big budget movie, the storyline is captivating and it never has a "cheap" feel to it. The actors' hold your attention well, keeping the plot progressing so that it never stalls out. Kaelin Lamberson delivers a performance that's well beyond her years. Loved it!!

I loved the movie!!! I am a big horror movie fan and I highly recommend this movie!!! Love Craig Sheffer and the Jack/Shinning acting was awesome!! Great story.....is the lighthouse real and can we go visit ???

Good story line connecting the past to the present. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Nothing really scary, but definitely many eerie moments.

The premise might not be new but still engaging. The lead actor expresses well the psychological stress he is going through.
