Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

stalkingwolf83 I caught this movie on TV a few years ago and wasn't expecting much ( I never do of teen horror movies) but this was OK.It's about some girl who moves to a new town and hears about a legend of a witch burned and that there's still a group of descendants of the witch who formed a club and believe the girl to be a reincarnation of the witch their ancestors burned earlier.OK I'll be honest here, I had to refresh my memory on this page on the story because I did not remember much of it but I do remember mildly enjoying this movie.There is no gore or pointless bloodshed in it, but it does have it's exciting moments (I wasn't as much of a horror movie buff as I am today).Recommended for a good night of somewhat cheesy fun.

sol1218 **SPOILERS** Uneven movie about witchcraft in a small town in Mass. that transcends three centuries. Moving into the small town of Pinecrest Sarah Zoltanne, Sarah Citalik,and her mom Mrs. Resemary Zoltanne, Markie Post, realize that the house that they bought was once the home of a women Sarah Lancaster who was burned at the stake as a witch back in 1660. Sarah is a very weird type of person dabbling in the occult and being able to make thing happen that have no scientific explanation like being able to know a person by reading his or her palm as well as having doors open and shut by themselves. At her new high-school it turns out that a number of students there are decedents of the people who immolated Sarah Lancaster back in the 17th Century. The students now feel that Sarah, Zoltanne, is the Sarah that was killed by their distant ancestors. Their also certain that she's now come back to exact vengeance on them for what they,or their the ancestors, did to her back then. The movie "I've been waiting for you" borrows a lot from the 1996 Wes Craven horror flick "Scream". With the killer running around hooded with what looks like a witch mask, unlike the skeleton mask in "Scream", and has a Freddy Kruger like claw hand as his, or her, weapon of choice. The killer targeting the offspring's of Sarah Lancasters accusers and executioners has Sarah, the present one, check up on the ancestry of those in the town of Piecrest and comes up with a clue to who the killer really is. kidnapped by the frightened high school descendants of Sarahs 17th century killers Sarah is taken outside town to be executed, by fire in order to stop the attacks on them. Only to have the real killer show up and thus exonerate her. The movie has so many loose ends that it at some point seems to be unintelligible to follow. The mysterious black cat Hecuba at first seems to have some connection to what's going on in the film but disappears, after about fifteen minutes into the movie, into thin air as if he were a phantom never to be seen again. The scene with Sarah's mom Rosemary towards the end of the film is also very confusing. With the masked killer stalking her in her house and then attacking her. Which was a bit out of character for the killer since Mrs. Zoltanne wasn't a descendant of young Sarah Lancaster's 17th century executioners, like those who the killer targeted throughout the movie. The ending sequence in "I've been waiting for you" is totally out of place, and makes no sense at all, to what we saw in the film up to then. Were given the impression that Sarah and one of the students were in some way working together in taking out the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grand children of those who killed Sarah Lancaster back in pre-Revolutionary America. And as the movie ends were chillingly told by them that their grizzly work has only begun.

simon-trek This movie is based on Lois Duncan's novel 'Gallows's Hill'. The box office hit 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' is also based on one of Duncan's novels.Duncan often uses teenagers in her thriller novels (especially teenage girls) in fact at a number of my local library's her novels are classified as 'TeenageFiction'. I've never actually read any of her novels but perhaps I will read them someday...Anyway about the movie.I did enjoy this movie. I liked the idea of this town which has a legend of a young girl named Sarah who was accused of being a witch and burned at the stakethree centuries ago. This innocent teenage girl named Sarah who moves intothis town and when some bizarre events, and murders start to occur, Sarahstarts being accused by this group of teenagers of being a reincarnation of the witch "Sarah" who has come to seek revenge. So now Sarah's life is seriousdanger. She's in danger of suffering a horrible death! Burned alive at the stake! This movie is certainly a great thriller!

capkronos Single mom Rosemary Zoltanne (Markie Post) and her smart-ass teen daughter Sarah (Sarah Chalke) move from L.A. to a big house in Massachusetts where a witch was burned at the stake 300 years earlier. Sarah makes friends with a geeky outsider (Ben Foster) but also attracts the attention of teen members of the "Descendant's Club"-- obnoxious jocks (led by Christian Campbell, brother of Neve) and the high school bitch queens (led by Soleil Moon Frye) who think she's the reincarnation of the dead witch. Sarah gets harassing phone calls ("I've been waiting for you!") and a masked killer with a steel claw lurks around.This is resolutely typical post SCREAM/I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER fare (supposedly from the "author" of the latter) with offscreen violence, but the performances are surprisingly good and it's watchable, though it all seems like a big build-up to nothing by the end.I didn't know it at the time when I rented the video, but frequent fade-outs to black and someone credited with the teleplay soon made me realize I'd rented a TV movie that was inexplicably (and erroneously!) rated R to bulk up it's distribution value. Don't be expecting to find gore, nudity or four-letter words in this film.
