Dorothy Mills was a nice horror. Actually, not as much as a horror as it was suspenseful. It's confusing in the beginning, but the more you watch it, the more secrets become unveiled, and before you know it, you're done with the movie. I was able to guess my way through the movie to discover the secrets before they were answered so I felt like I really enjoyed the movie as far as suspense goes. There were unpredictibility, and some scenes were dead-on creepy, but my friends and I agreed it wasn't too scary at the end. In fact, it had an interesting plot. I didn't like the ending much just because it was too crazy and sudden.

Dorothy Mills is a girl living in Ireland whose body is used for spirits of the dead to communicate with the living. And some of the living are grateful for this, because they either loved or are related to the dead spirit. Other people will not say anything about it for the community was a small and private community. The only people really concerned with this would be a psychiatrist who lost a child, and of course, Dorothy Mills. She can't control it, but she doesn't want to be this. Especially when some of the spirits hold secrets of the past. Deadly spirits who are ready to kill.

There are many strange events as Dorothy are accused with countless crimes, when really it was the spirits. She almost kills a baby while babysitting and killed a man because the spirit that killed the man only wanted revenge for when he was alive. History also tends to repeat itself in this movie to show when the spirits were alive. It was sort of confusing, but you have to really think in the end to put one and one together.

All in all, this movie is okay. Some people might even really really like it.
