Not to be missed, Falling Stars reimagines the fantasy tropes of witchcraft through the kind of regional character specificity that indie audiences see more often in films like “Winter’s Bone.”

For horror fans who prefer a more subtle and nuanced brand of horror that verges on the very outskirts of psychological horror, the lo-fi grunginess of Falling Stars will certainly appeal to them, though the outcome may leave them with more questions than answers.

It’s an ambitious slice of micro-budget filmmaking that uses the canvas of isolated rural life to paint a relevant story about living in a world where violence threatens at every corner.

The makers have some talent and a pretty decent sense of humor, the pennyless topic, the candy ^^. Characters are good and they do manage to create something with nothing. Unfortunately the ideas are not pushed at all. They tell fire, shotgun work yet it's not used, there's a dude in the desert telling stuff.. not used. Witches more attracted to men, ceremonial circles.. not used. So in this state.. they tell and do senseless stuff.. the end. A waste of talent. Watchable but disappointing
