These Streets We Haunt (2021) User Reviews

Not too bad for an amateur TV film

[Icarus_geo · 4/10 · 26 March 2021]

The production seemed rather polished, the writer did not have any visible blunders, the story flows unencumbered but also a bit aimlessly. It was not able to build any tension or dread on account of the lurking and mystical menace, but it did a better job building some mystery on the first half about the girl. I wish Ari Aster would have had a crack at it.

am i the right person...

To tell that this was a really promising dissappointer? Thats up to you to decide, on me, that is, but the film starts really 7'ish or 8'ish, but after 6 minutes and especially 53 minutes the downward spiral really sets in from daft to unbelievably daft acting. Lets just cut in and say there are glimmer of hope in between the moments of charade, which means its not only bio-hazard( movie theaters in sweden and denmark is called ''bio'') material. The male lead actor scores highest and best because he knows acting. The caracter mia though seems to have been thrown in there with the chiefs call to say whatever she like and just play the game , a game thats different from the others. But a horrorthriller on realatively high amateur budget, about a mysterious girl with ''hot'' hands, and generally even hotter appearances, comes to this towns street of supernaturals, where the dark shadows rolls on skateboards, and the general naivity among the streets homeowners are strikingly near real life. Being homeless, searching for a room with a bed she strikes a score with a young humble pretty average nice guy. But there are something strange with this girl that makes this cat become curious. Did the curiousity kill the cat?? Have a look yourself, i do not think im far from the right star scoring compared to supergood feature films of the genre. In any case its an optional choose if your bucket list of film becomes empty. The grumpy old man does still have 1500 films on that list, so its not a re-view.

Nice film, silly ending

[doujyr · 7/10 · 29 March 2021]

Enjoyed this, nice laid back style, believable until it gets weird. Shame about the very last scene which really doesn't fit at all.

BEST FANTASY FILM EVER!

[plasmapilot · 10/10 · 5 November 2021]

Despite another review I read, this film in no way resembles MORTAL INSTRUMENTS except that extraordinarily gifted individuals fight evil influences! This film was well scripted, directed & produced as well as carried by a talented group of actors! This story made me "forget" I was watching a movie & I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Unlike anything I've viewed before this scenario was new (& I've viewed thousands of films). I think considering ALL criteria t his film is underrated & underappreciated! Give it a chance & enjoy!

Makes you wanna watch it to the end..

..although it drags a bit (so give it a try if you're awake enough) Spooky story and surprising end, so dont read any spoilers first (non here yet, 3 reviews so far)

I like to watch underdog/independant movies, but am no expert on the procedure/problems new film makers face. I liked this one (and might watch one or 2 of the writers others) but just as a viewer please allow me to say that the story seemed to be too complicated, a bit unnecessarily cruel and gory, longer than necessary (books get ruthlessly straightened if too long,right?), and the pace was a bit too slow (why such slow music, long pauses etc) Somehow/ at some point (not always) I had the impression the (very) good actors were burdened with the text and story they had to plod along with.

Fun suspenseful independent film

[joeysims-37089 · 7/10 · 5 April 2021]

I enjoyed this flick. Great acting. My favorite characters are Blake ... leader of the pack of baddies and the Boss who shirks his firing duties. It was suspenseful and enjoyable to the end.

Excellent for an indie film

[Vallbygirl · 10/10 · 9 August 2021]

Considering the amount of big budget crap out there today I was really surprised and happy with the time I spent watching this film. Great acting! Congratulations, it was a hit with me.

Nice little indie film

[LovinMoviesMakinGames · 7/10 · 22 May 2021]

Acting was so..so...but cool story. Very entertaining. Definitely could do with a follow up.

Original, unexpected combo of different genres

[videogamenews · 8/10 · 16 May 2022]

I was expecting a movie about the supernatural and other dark topics, what I got was a deeper film about love, loneliness, job issues and a lot of other stuff that's being talked about today.

Beyond the strange and almost unrelated title, These Streets We Haunt offers something for everyone. Matt Williams and Lauren Perez are very good in the main roles, while the rest of the cast are mostly caricatures but work well in the lighter moments.

Overall, more movies (especially big budget ones) should try what this film did: get different genres and remix them together to surprise watchers.

These Streets We Haunt succeeds because it keeps the story interesting until the end, even if some scenes aren't very well filmed and acting is hit and miss (the villians, for example, aren't very convincing).

This was a wonderful story. The only problem that I had was the weak special fx. Other than that, the movie was so good that I would waych again with a friend.

was iffy about it at first but...

[mializzok · 10/10 · 5 April 2021]

I was blown about how great the acting was on such a low budget. Super erie, very cool.

Independent Film

[twelve-house-books · 8/10 · 28 April 2021]

For an independent film, this is a gem for those who like great acting, subtle humor, good shot angles, good writing, and everything else that sets a good film apart from one where the writer and/or director--not to mention the actors--has no clue how to tell a story. This one only gets 8 stars from me because I think the film could have been made better with more music (there are a few scenes where there is no music present at all, which is a bit disconcerting). The actors are, one and all, fantastic--even the supportive actors. Not one weak link. To all involved, bravo! I especially like the fresh theme of discovering that actual people are comic book villains and superheroes. In a way the story reminds me of INK, but isn't as bizarre. Maybe that's what is missing here--a truly bizarre angle. That said, though, I recommend this story to anyone who likes a slow-burn romance, evil stalkers in the night, good and believable dialogue, great actor chemistry, and hilarious dry humor (once the camera zooms in on a major character as he absently blows heavy vape smoke through his nostrils-- a touch of genius.) There were a few scenes where it seemed as if a high school aged director took over, but they are rare and the narration gets back on track without too much distraction. I'm all over the board with this review, but I do look forward to more from this director and the talented actors.
