Experience.
That's what a movie is supposed to be. Especially in the horror type of genre. The audience has to be engaged on a very visceral level. It almost has to become a part of their life wherein they can't completely rely on the idea that "it's just a movie".
Haunting Melissa moves into your basement and occasionally taps you on the shoulder when you least expect it.
I'm not going to write a giant review instead I'll just mention two things that should have you running on your thumbs to the nearest App Box Office:
1. A movie, broken into chilling cliffhanger chapters. But you don't know when you'll get the next one. You're left thinking about what you've seen so far, wondering about the characters, trying to solve the mysteries, desperately waiting for the blood curdling push notification that lets you know...its time to go back into that world and discover more.
2. Dynamic Story Elements...I repeat, Dynamic Story Elements: I love sifting through a cryptic TV show and/or movie looking for what I think might be hidden imagery or tricky easter eggs. Haunting Melissa takes that 1000 steps further into the future. You just finished watching a chapter you've been waiting for and now you can't wait for the next one...but wait...watch that one again and suddenly...
Woah!...pause...run that back...did I really see that? But that wasn't there before...OMG
