Melissa Oaks Anybody feel like getting demon possessed today and damning their eternal soul to torment in the fire of hell? this is the movie for you. Have at it.
dead_dewd The kind of film that makes you reel in horror after watching it because you could have been doing something better with your inane life, like punching yourself in the balls.I can't believe that this film actually got through my eyeballs to my brain without my body throwing up.Bad cast, bad script, bad plot, bad dog.Should be advertised with the warning of 'slightly less mildly perilous than "Finding Nemo"'Don't watch this unless you're on Mescaline. And there is a goat writing alternative subtitles for you.I'd probably only watch it again if you paid me, five English pounds.I'm a cheap date.
bzb-1 I'm almost tempted to give this 8 stars, I enjoyed it so much. I saw it edited, on ChillerTV, but it stands so far above 90% of the slasherfest and other crap they air that I saved it to my DVR and will doubtless watch it again. The story was lightweight, sure, but consistent, and I found the pacing very good. While there wasn't a huge investment in setting up the characters, you got a rough idea of who each one was without them all being the same-old same-old. The supernatural-or-is-it theme is one of my favorites, and this is a prime, if low-budget, example. The gore was well-placed and less-gruesome than it could be, which was fabulous, because splatter for splatter's sake is not my idea of quality filmmaking. I loved the fact that the contestants in the ersatz gameshow worked together instead of being pitted against one another as in so many of these like-themed films. I like this movie!
RandomFox I don't understand why this movie got so many poor reviews, outside of the fact possibly that the genre of horror has become a pretty abysmal thing (and so many people think that's what horror is really meant to be.) This movie was done to the stage of classic horror -- if you enjoy Vincent Price and Alfred Hitchcock; who didn't use senseless gore or torture or muzak (music altered to get a psychological effect from someone where something otherwise may not be scary) to get the point across; then you will enjoy this.This movie is almost entirely a rip off of Vincent Price's house on haunted hill, everywhere down to certain twists that occur. This is refreshing, because the remake of this classic film was nothing but gratuitous violence. The remake frightened me, true, but Vincent Price's version intrigued me. It made me enjoy myself, and it was worth the watch.While I couldn't compare this film as a great classic like Beethoven, if I were to compare it to music, I could certainly compare modern horror (and many modern movies) to modern music -- which is talentless, relies almost wholly on machines, and for the better part soul-less. This movie wasn't on the level of Vincent Price or Alfred Hitchcock, but it was certainly a step in the right direction our movies need to be going in.TL;DR: If you enjoy reading, you'll enjoy this movie. If you can't read, you'll enjoy other modern horrors.
