As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     The Return
2006  PG-13  HORROR  1h 26min
CAST— Sarah Michelle Gellar, Peter O’Brien, Adam Scott, Kate Beahan, J. C. MacKenzie, Erinn Allison, Sam Shepard
MUSIC— Dario Marianelli  DIRECTOR— Asif Kapadia

     Too many questions, too few answers. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays an industrious young business woman whose latest assignment takes her to her small hometown in Texas. Once there she becomes rather detached from reality (perhaps because of the blackouts, ghostly hallucinations and self mutilation?). She begins to unravel a years-old mystery that irrevocably links her with home sweet home. Dreadfully uneven and painfully boring (not to mention thoroughly confusing) the film has absolutely no redeeming qualities. “Return” to sender.
OUR RATING— *
