Amazon.com:
The Return is a drowsy, mildly creepy and unexpectedly well-crafted supernatural thriller that lays off the cheap thrill and gore factor in favor of the slow build up to fright and a twist ending that, while effective, may hit viewers as mostly out of left field. The Sixth Sense it ain't, but there's enough texture, style and ladled-on art direction to keep the eeriness palpable even through some of the more labored dialogue and plot contrivances. A chocolate-haired Sarah Michelle Gellar (what was wrong with her natural goldilocks?) plays Joanna Mills, some sort of traveling sales rep in a big pickup truck who journeys from her nightmare-disturbed life in St. Louis back to a small town in Texas that she sort-of remembers. Demons from the girlhood she once knew there come fiendishly together in a mishmash of flashbacks and present-day creep-outs involving murder, self-mutilation and spirits that have haunted her more than she knows. Gellar has become a go-to for glossy Hollywood horrorshows like this, thanks to her work in the Grudge franchise and the remnants of our memories from her Buffy glory days. In spite of the handful of slipshod faults in story and directorial force, she holds her own against the vibrantly dilapidated set decorations along with a variety of other equally important characters. There's a creepy ex-boyfriend, a disgusting being stalking a phantom woman she recognizes from her psychosis-induced visions, and a hunky guy who's facing down mysteries from his own past. (Do they all intersect? Hmmm...) She even stands her ground against Sam Shepard, who is all but slumming it in his few scenes as her dad. He talks about an incident that forever changed her when she was 11 years old, but his weird allusions are as enigmatic as the film itself, which desperately wants to be better than it is. But The Return still carries its share of respectable fears that are made scarier by the effectively edited string of spooky noises and images. Together they add up to make a worthy entrant in the genre of understated ghost story. --Ted Fry

- A Thoughtful Horror Story
Having seen this movie twice on HBO, I think I can make a fair assessment on it.
This is not a typical horror movie. It is a drama with supernatural elements. And as such, it succeeds admirably.
Think of it as going out on a dark night alone then hearing, in the distance, a long mournful wail. It frightens but at the same time, one detects great sadness in the sound.
I'll leave it to others to describe the plot. I will add that Sarah Michelle Gellar delivers a powerful performance. ... Read More

- No tears.
Let's say in a few words. I feel sorry for Andrei, a boy who played (Vladimir Garin) , died in a few days after the movie was ready. He died in the lake, not far from the one where the movie was shot. That happened on 25th of June 2003. That's just so devastating. He was an incredible actor.
Rest in peace
BTW the whole movie is just incredible.
Great work Russia!
Bravo
My advice for you is to buy this dvd.

- Supernatural Thriller
Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Joanna Mills who is a traveling sales rep, a job she choose because it keeps her always on the move. We are introduced to her troubled childhood where she was involved in traffic accident. We do not know if the trauma to her head has given her visions of a man who is constantly stalking her that no one else sees. And when he appears, she actually hurts herself. But then, except for the damage she has done to herself, all is back to normal.

We flash forward to ... Read More

- atmospheric chiller
In my opinion "The Return" really is a fine movie. The marketing just didn't get it right. So, agreed, it's not a "shocking, non-stop (supernatural) thriller unlike anything you've ever experienced before". It won't give you nightmares. And it doesn't come with a spectacular ending either.
The qualities of "The Return" are much more subtle. First of all the movie is beautifully filmed, mysterious and rather aloof. Sarah Michelle Gellar does a fine job playing Joanna, a young woman haunted by increasingly ... Read More

- True Standout from the Rest
I was pleasantly surprised with this film. I've seen too many horror/suspense films that follow the same pattern of cheap scares and crumby dialogue. This is NOT the case with THE RETURN. This film delivers excellent dialogue (kudos to the writer) and achieves the proper type of scares that other films seek out but fail to do. This film sets a psychologically thrilling tone throughout the movie which ultimately creates the eerie suspense. Not to mention that it was artistically done and had some visually dynamic ...
