Review of A Haunting at Silver Falls (2013) by Kimberly B — 17 Jun 2013

Jordan is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after the death of her father, but she has hardly settled in before twin spirits from the surrounding woods latch on to her as a living conduit for their revenge. Alix Elizabeth Gitter stars in Brett Donowho's chilling new ghost tale, A HAUNTING AT SILVER FALLS. Gitter is sweet and sincere in the role of Jordan, presenting us with a true to life character that isn't without her own imperfections. After discovering the ring of one of the missing girls, she is haunted by terrifying visions that lead her to their true killer. Donowho relies on subtly over outright shock, using the nerve-shattering images of the two disfigured ghosts to his full advantage. SILVER FALLS draws heavily from outside influences like STIR OF ECHOES in the outline of the plot, but the blatant clues that are left throughout the film make for a far less impressive finale. This does not detract much from the overall production, however, which serves up frequent scares on a modest budget.
