Missed opportunity

Warning: Spoilers
I see FAERYVILLE variously described as a horror or fantasy movie but in fact this is a stock indie drama with some very mild surreal elements. It's a collaboration between the USA and Singapore that looks at gang violence but for the most part contains a lot of posing on the part of the young male characters. It does look good in high definition, but there's very little content other than a few action and sex scenes. There's not a lot going on really.

Really great horror movie with surprises
ilse-1553911 August 2016
The filmmakers didn't resort to cheesy tactics or run of the mill horror movie thrills. They thought out of the box and really made this film transcend itself and the story line. I was thoroughly impressed with the casting and locations used throughout the movie. While it's definitely not a "large budget" film, there's something refreshing about movies being made for the love of the art and not to please generic box office rating snobs. The youthful feel of the movie inspires an idealism and passion that can be easily lost in today's and society and cinema. Faeryville makes no excuses and doesn't bother, or want to back down from what it truly "feels". Kudos to the filmmaker for taking a risk with this film and to the actors and crew for not only standing behind it, but creating something greater than the individual parts. While the writer and director could have spent more time aligning their visions and goals for the film, there is a raw edginess created out of this seemly "mishmash" of styles and ideas. If you are looking for something to watch that entertains, provokes thought, and embodies ideals easily lost today, then this just might be the film that'll make your and someone specials evening.

Deep metaphorical and interesting film
YewChengYi3 January 2019
A film based around idealogy among teenagers, rich and poor, famous and the nobodies. It's a common thing in society and it's especially interesting when we can see the fear and power of evil when rebellion goes overboard

A film that is unlike any
meganpang16 July 2020
Faeryvale was really interesting. I feel that many teenagers like myself can relate to the edgy nature of the film. I like how the director made all the characters seem human by giving them flaws and fears, so people would find it easier to identify with them. The fact that he also decided to put in controversial topics such as school shootings and terror attacks during an era where the topic was seen as taboo or even presumptuous, shows me that he is a filmmaker who is not afraid to speak his mind.
