THE SECRET OF SINCHANEE - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Vertical Entertainment

SYNOPSIS:  Will is an industrial tow truck driver and mechanic who suffers from insomnia. He returns to his childhood home after the untimely death of his father and discovers that a paranormal presence has been living in the house and haunting the sacred land it was built on. It is a place of tragedy and loss that has left its mark on Will’s family legacy and will continue to stalk the land unless he can overcome and banish it.

REVIEW: Steven Grayhm’s THE SECRET OF SINCHANEE is a smoldering tale of the supernatural that embraces a multitude of themes including that of mental illness. The typical supernatural tale is offset by crime/police procedural elements to build a gripping story of tragedy and family’s fight against an ancient darkness that lingers over this parcel of land.

Actor, director and screenwriter Steven Grayhm offers an interesting tale that looks at a family’s tragic past and the implications of another family’s present. At the center is Will, played by Grayhm. Will is this traumatized soul who has never recovered from the horror in his past. His coming home unleashes this presence that is feeding off his pain and needs Will as a catalyst to continue the cycle. Will is a complex character who is unraveling due to the internal and external forces coming at him from all sides. Will’s dog perceives what’s going on and abandons Will for sainer pastures. The story is a slow burn that is told through multiple vantage points to build the tension and drama. The mysterious history of the area adds weight and intrigue to the story. It permits the scary elements to operate with little more explanation. The film has this nice arch that feels disrupted by this added scene in the credits that seems out of place with the rest of the narrative and is an obvious Hollywood tag to keep the story open for a sequel.

The filmmakers do an excellent job technically weaving this tale together. The locations, costumes and productions designs have an organic feel that draws the viewer in. The visual/special effects are stark, with little finesse. They’re good, but they lack an intense scare factor or menace. They could be creepier.  I liked Gary Rugala & Rycky Ruke’s score. What the effects lacked they added in terms of atmosphere and intensity.

This is a solid cast. They do an excellent job of lulling the view into the story for the ride. Steven Grayhm delivers a memorable performance as this broken character dealing with the demons from his past and those of his present. He allows the viewer to feel empathy and horror. The film clearly rests on his shoulders and he skillfully supports it. The rest of the cast is solid and engages the viewer.

THE SECRET OF SINCHANEE is a production where you can see the film’s budget up on the screen. Steven Grayhm delivers a fascinating tale of the supernatural and  a troubled, broken character. There are beats in it that feel like a Shirley Jackson (“The Haunting of Hill House” / “The Lottery”) story. The horror is there, but it is all about the central character’s mental state. If you’re a horror fan that looks for story over effects, THE SECRET OF SINCHANEE is your film. The plot is a blend of themes from other genre films, but it is not a blatant homage and finds its own voice. I enjoyed the film and am looking forward to seeing what Steven Grayhm does next.

Is “White Chicks” Still Funny?

It has been a few years since I’ve seen “White Chicks.” I remember seeing this 2004 comedy for the first time and laughing historically. The Waynes Bros were at the top of their game in the early 2000s with this film and the first two installments of “Scary Movie.” Every time this film would come on TV, we would be sure to watch it. It was (and still is) a very quotable film. Lines like “what a…
