kosmasp Horror gets a bad rep from people ... and movies like this one are helping with that false narrative. Of course there are bad movies in every genre, but Horror seems to be affected most by it. And with comedy, which is a genre where you could argue it's also easy to make a movie fast and cheap, you have the safety net of "taste". Because humor is in the eye of the beholder, but quality isn't.So while it would be tough to come up with something completely new, you should expect that something better can be done, even with a devil takes people (sacrifices made) and so forth. There is a tendency to try to give characters some depth. The actors just can't pull that weight. Not saying they get a great script and they mess it up, but still they could and should have been able to raise the bar. Acting ain't that easy ... making good movies neither
Kenyae Kofi This movie really needs a lot of work. First of all I don't think anyone would sacrifice another family member to save another especially the grandmother that was absolutely innocent in this movie. I did appreciate that this was all in the name of religion and the danger of the religions. The most ridiculous part to this movie was that it was rushed and now I'm not saying the movie had to be long, but it definitely needed the story to marinate to build certain characters to seem like necessary people to get rid of in the first place. I think this movie needed to have better child actors/actresses and better theme placements. I really think the movie was just in a rush to get finished. Lilith also, comes from the Jewish mythology and not the Christianity Mythology, so I thought that was interesting as well. I did find it awkward that a nun was the writer of a demonic sealing book. I just wish the movie was not so strung out on religious beliefs, but instead stuck to the concept of being a horror movie.
dcarsonhagy Another yawner about a demon who leeches itself to children and leaves the affected family looking for its "pound of flesh," so to speak.Cameron is left in charge of his niece, Angie, while his mom goes visiting. They live in a house with their grandparents, both afflicted in some way or the other. Even though Cam's mother forbids him to take Angie to see her real mother, an ex druggie, where's the first place they go once mom is out of sight? You guess it. During the visit, there seems to be a horrible argument going on next door so Cam (naturally) investigates. Angie follows. Angie is then overcome by a LOT of second-hand smoke and has a proclivity for big eyeballs. Cameron then finds out Angie has become possessed by "the devil's whore, a/k/a Lillith." In order to save her, he must kill six people in seven days and offer them as sacrifices.Another amateur-night-at-the-Bijou attempt at horror that was so confusing it was hard for me to keep everything straight. In fact, I don't think I did. The script was absolutely absurd because in one part of the movie you have the girlfriend who suddenly is upset about morals...while all along she's been trying to help Cam kill people. Go figure.The movie is unrated and has some minimal violence, faux lovemaking, and language.
simonwelsh454 I have no idea why this managed to score a 7.1 out of 10. How very misleading.The acting is terrible. The story is driven forward mercilessly by a plot that has about as much flexibility as rigamortis. What a waste of 88 minutes.If you love your eyeballs, don't bother watching this movie. Seriously they ought to start fining Hollywood producers/directors/writers who think it's OK to come out with something as poorly put together as this.I hope this review helped.
