Movie Review: The Return

Set to be released this month, The Return follows Rodger who returns home from college with his best friend and girlfriend to settle the affairs of his recently deceased father. Soon they begin to witness strange and unsettling occurrences in the house. Rodger is plagued by strange childhood memories about being haunting by a ghostly presence. These memories boil over into reality culminating in an intense confirmation as a dark secret is uncovered. This indie film will have you convinced that you know what is happening. However, what’s really going on is very different. The twist is a nice touch and completely changes the film’s trajectory and makes the story much more interesting. It’s something we haven’t seen a million times. Richard Harmon delivers a convincing portrait of a young man haunted by too much death and his desperation to discover the truth behind his and his family’s past. I did find several of his emotional reactions a bit odd.
