I agree -- the trailer and for sure the cover art on the DVD were pretty misleading! Most of the story isn't about the supernatural stuff at all, but focuses on the two kids becoming friends (the girl is traumatized by having lost her parents, and the boy tries to get her to enjoy life again by involving her in his geeky pranks). The background is kind of Gothic, but that's pretty much it -- otherwise it's a tween romance. The director did "Frankenstein and Me" earlier, which also isn't a real horror movie but more of a homage to B-movies in popular culture. <br />I'm guessing that Ricky did learn a lot from being one of the leads ... he did a pretty good job in my brother's indie film (http://www.dirtybeautifulmovie.com) . As he got older he's doing more writing and directing -- which is ironic since in "Believe" that's what his character seems to be heading towards. There are lots of stories about child actors who have a pretty bad time of it after their fame ends, but Ricky seems like he's doing okay. My brother says he's fun to work with. I think he's done one actual horror film ("Trailer Park of Terror"), and I heard that he's got a role in that new "Preacher" adaptation. But he's more inclined to the Judd Apatow type of comedies, based on what he's been doing since "Believe".<br />TapirTroublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596819431030750962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289022647248232066.post-84405595051707861462015-08-05T22:42:16.879-07:002015-08-05T22:42:16.879-07:00When i watched it it was pretty good and one of my...When i watched it it was pretty good and one of my favsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
