(1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 27% Rotten Page   1   2.5/5 "the movie equivalent of a rookie algebra error"   Filmcritic.com   Blake French 5/10 "The work of a master visualist trying to walk the line between narrative and visual spectacle. The story is there, but it just sits on the side of the visual experience."   PopMatters   Brian Holcomb D- "Abandoned is grim, incoherent, and about as thrilling as a college lecture."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/4 "An admittedly stylish piece of work that's ultimately undone by an overly deliberate pace and increasingly confusing screenplay."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 3/4 "A definite fascinating and creepy mystery that leads up to a very surreal finale I enjoyed..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 2/4 "Alas, this is another faceless frightfest in which its so-called boisterous boo is not conducive to its creepy-crawling bite."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D- "Abandon all hope of entertainment, ye who enter here...dreary as well as dull."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek B+ "In the Reagan years, there were subversive critiques of disingenuous "family values" moral posturing in films like 1987's The Stepfather; today, in the George W. Bush era, we have The Abandoned."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 2/5 "If only [Cerda's] storytelling and filmmaking techniques were on par with his compelling subject matter, The Abandoned might have been a horror movie worth screaming about."   Boxoffice Magazine   Jay Antani 1/4 "As the heroine wanders around her old, rundown childhood home, the movie itself wanders, trying to find its purpose, meaning, and even, it seems, a worthwhile starting point."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2.5/5 "This is coming from a guy who really enjoys a "slow burn" ghost story: The Abandoned is a grade-A snoozer."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg  (1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 27% Rotten Page   1
