Not good or bad…it just is
Grindstone Road is one of those forgettable but not altogether bad ghost story flicks that are about a dime a dozen. I say “ghost story” instead of “horror” because I don’t think there’s anything anyone would find even remotely scary going on here, but it still manages to worm it’s way into what most people would consider a horror flick. Hey…if you can pass off The Messengers as a horror flick then the sky’s wide open.

The movie starts with our protagonist Hannah (Balk) having a flashback to a car accident that left her son in a coma. Now you might be tempted to think the accident is why Balk looks so awkward throughout the rest of the film, but then you remember that she’s always looked that way. I swear, it looks like someone slammed a tennis ball into her mouth and she just left it there. It’s really borderline distracting. Ugh. Oh…and a side note…when going to visit your vegetable son in the hospital it’s probably bad form to wear high-heeled hooker boots. Kinda makes it look like you’re not really that interested. Just a thought. Anyway…moving on.

After becoming painfully aware of the movie’s subplot (the accident and ensuing drama) via way too many flashback sequences, we see Balk and her husband move out to the country to start over…which seems weird because their kid isn’t really dead, he’s just comatose. Way to be great parents. Long story short the new house plays tricks on Hannah’s mind (but only her…how predictable) and her husband starts to think she’s nuts until all is made clear in an ending so anti-climactic and out of left field you’ll wonder what the hell the last hour and twenty minutes were about. I mean, it all ties together and you saw it coming, but it still seems pretty lame and off topic.

The cast isn’t bad and the director does a good job of making the house as creepy as possible, but the movie just never really gets to where it wants to go. Or maybe it does and I just didn’t care. Either way I’d say this is a fair bet if you’ve got nothing better to do/watch. Might not be a bad way to waste a Sunday afternoon. Then again, that can be said for a whole lot of movies that aren’t very good.

Really dull supernatural thriller.
Grindstone Rd. starts as Hannah Sloan (Fairuza Balk) visits her comatose son Daniel (Felix Pennall) in hospital, Daniel has been in a coma for about a year after a car accident in which Hannah was driving & as a result she blames herself for his condition. Hannah drives out to her childhood town of Evansville where an large old house on Grindstone Road is for sale, it’s rundown & needs attention but Hannah falls in love with it & together with her psychiatrist husband Graham (Greg Bryk) moves in. Standing in the middle of a wood the Sloan’s nearest neighbour’s are elderly old couple Linda (Joan Gregson) & Ted Jenkins (Walter Learning) who seem friendly enough, however they seem nervous when inside the Sloan’s house & Hannah soon discovers that many years ago a young boy named Daniel who lived there went missing & that the man who was accused of killing him committed suicide in the basement. Soon Hannah starts to experience supernatural visions & happenings as the house appears haunted by Daniel who seems to be trying to communicate with Hannah, if only someone would believe her…

This Canadian production was directed by Melanie Orr & is a pretty dull supernatural drama thriller with little to recommend it, films like Grindstone Rd. are a dime a dozen & this dreary effort adds nothing new to the clichés & routine formula. The script is strictly by the numbers, someone with emotional issues moves into a big old creepy house & starts to experience supernatural visions & happenings as a ghost who suffered in life tries to communicate with said new owner & right the wrongs that they suffered, Grindstone Rd. is totally predictable & I saw the so-called twist ending coming a mile off since I have seen so many of these lacklustre rip-offs before & know the deal. Grindstone Rd. starts off alright, it introduces our character’s in a semi mysterious way with various flashbacks & quickly cut scenes that don’t seem to go anywhere (Hannah walking into a hospital room & then suddenly cutting to another scene for instance) that I suppose was meant to create some suspense but once the script switches to the old house & the plot starts to be revealed things go downhill fast. Virtually nothing happens, sure Hannah hears voices, sees a few ghostly images & rather randomly decides to investigate the disappearance of Daniel but it plods along at a Snail’s pace & becomes extremely boring. The character’s are dull, the events of the film are dull, the basic mystery surrounding the supernatural occurrences is dull & I found the 90 minute running time pretty hard to get through. I suppose if you like ghost stories in particular then you may like Grindstone Rd. as it’s competent if forgettable but I just found the whole thing a predictable bore with a really annoying happier than happy ending.

The low body count doesn’t help either, in fact there isn’t a body count as no-one is killed except the evil doers who the ghost wants revenge on & even then it’s more in a self defence scenario rather than pure hate driven revenge. There’s zero gore, there’s a bath scene with no nudity & the scares are pretty tame. There are one or two nice shots here but overall Grindstone Rd. is forgettable on all levels. To call Grindstone Rd. a horror film is stretching things to be honest, even though it has a ghost in it I’d say it’s more of a psychological thriller. Quite why Hannah feels she can solve the decades old mystery of Daniel disappearing when all the cops at the time couldn’t I don’t know & why did the killers who murdered Daniel all those years ago move out of the house & literally a few hundred feet down the road?

Filmed in Hamilton in Ontario in Canada this has decent enough production values is is reasonably well made although it’s fairly basic & not much to look at visually. The acting is alright, Balk is quite good I suppose if I want to be positive.

Grindstone Rd. is a really dull ghost story, it’s predictable & at 90 minutes long it takes forever to go nowhere in particular. There are better ways to waste an hour & a half, also what’s up with the DVD cover? Sure it’s great with dripping blood & an eerie looking house in a misty setting but doesn’t represent the film at all, it’s like they say though ‘never judge a book by it’s cover’.
