    Could've Been Better

    This is a good horror/mystery movie but it could've been much better. It has a beautiful gothic atmosphere but it's not scary at all so if you're expecting a creepy horror film just skip it, it's does great with respect to the mystery part though. The story is really interesting, provoking and has a great implied message but the movie fails in portraying it, the screenplay has holes and feels weak sometimes. It's also unnecessarily long and boring at certain moments. Things Heard & Seen is neither great nor bad, give it a try if you like this genre and forget about it the next day.

    Good, until the ending.

    What a bizarre, curious movie this was, classified on Netflix as a horror, it is most definitely not a horror, I'd place it more in the thriller genre.

    Production values are superb, and the acting is first rate, both James Norton and Amanda Seyfried put in first rate performances, the pair are superb.

    Each scene where I saw Norton's white vest popping through the top of his jumper, I saw Sidney Chambers, British fans will of course be familiar with Granchester.

    Despite the amazing acting, and the very atmospheric start, I find it hard to forgive the ending, this is a movie in the category of, how not to end a film, it sucks, it's unoriginal, and the movie deserved more.

    Overall, very well acted, good story, a poor ending, it's worth a look, 6/10.

    A movie without guts and without glory

    "Things Heard & Seen" potentially could have been an unusual movie , but it turns down the expectations. Furthermore, the supernatural events in the movie are unnecessary and unoriginal. Although the actors provide us great performances, the screenplay kinda let us down. Rating: 6.

    What happened with the last part?

    I agree with the reviewer who wrote it builds up to nothing. For the 3/4 part or so it looked more or less like a decent movie, although there was absolutely no suspense, but then?

    Like they ran out of money and just ended it. Somehow. :)

    Bell Curved on Me.

    This had SO much potential. Bummed me right out. It started slowed, built up to something that could have been great, then felt like it tripped over its own pretentiousness and fell flat on its face. Damn. Just made the whole time I watched it feel like a waste.

    • Trivia
      Filming took place over a 34-day period during the fall of 2019 in New York's Hudson Valley, where the story is also set. Forty local crew members were hired and over 500 background extras were booked through Hudson Valley Casting. Tech City (former IBM HQ) in the town of Ulster was rented for months as the qualified production facility and for administrative office space. Over 4,400 rooms were booked at regional hotels and the local spend was north of $13 million. Locations were used throughout the region thanks to the talent of (location manager) Kurt Enger and his crew, including Myna Joseph. Featured locations in the film were found in Millerton, Red Hook, Tivoli, Kingston, Palenville, and Ulster, in Dutchess and Ulster Counties NY.
