The film wasn't perfect and went on a couple minutes too long. But it was a decent enough effort. The actors seemed to have at least some kind of chemistry.
I don't understand the motivation for the MAN pushing the GIRL into the well. Given the different ethnicities, I didn't take him to be the father. He was cajoling, which seemed out of character for a child murderer who already had his victim in his clutches. He could have picked her up and threw her in without much trouble.
After the deed, he sits, laughing in relief, which made me suspect that he was feeding the monster in the well. But then, he was surprised when the voice came from the well - which he wouldn't be if he knew it was there. He was then very easily convinced by the voice to throw himself in.
Only one corpse in the well, that didn't look like the little girl's because it was too badly decomposed. Couldn't they have applied some make-up and had the little girl play dead instead? That is if the corpse is meant to be the little girl?
By what mechanism did the little girl possess the monster in the well? If that is what happened. Cause and effect. Here there is only effect.
Sorry it didn't click with you. In defense of the filmmakers, they had no money and quite a few setbacks(actors and crew backing out at the last minute), which dramatically altered the final product. Still, I'm very happy they figured out a way to push forward and get it done.
I'd be curious if you felt the same way about the actual script, which I believe addresses most of your criticisms. At the very least, you'll have a much better idea of what's going on and, a better understanding of the character motivations.
Yeah, well they did a good job of slaughtering that. The script is far better. They should have included the playground scene. And they missed a trick with the masturbation scene. This is what happens with zero budget.
