This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*So there was this big, horned demon on the video box. It was singing to me and begging me to watch it: "Come closer sucker. Won't you rent the scary demon movie?" I was helpless in its gaze. Deer in the headlights. Direct hit.I watched it and was ripped off. Again. These horror movies have got the art of the video box down to a science. Too bad the movie making part still eludes some. This movie is a complete yawner. I thought they were saving their money to show us something somewhat exciting near the end. What a joke. It started with nothing and ended with nothing. It was a renter too so I couldn't even bash it to pieces to get some satisfaction. Dang.
This film uses a lot of religious imagery that was rather deep and disturbing in many ways. The acting in the film is NOT as bad as other reviewers claim. The film is beautifully shot but the movie slows at some points. All in all - the dialogue, cinematography, acting, music and direction were pretty good for such a low-budget indie film. ***SPOILER TO FOLLOW*** My favorite moment in the film is when the Demon Lady turns into that naked, shrivelled-up, troll-thing in front of the bleeding crucifix and scurries backwards out of the room! Now that's something you don't see every day!
This film was SOOOOO boring that I couldn't even watch it with the fast forward held down firmly all the way through.The demon on the box cover was cool as hell ,but you only saw it for a MOMENT and then it walked out of frame BACKWARDS!Full of bad acting and TERRIBLE direction this movie sucks.
This movie was a disappointment. It appears as if some film students got together, had some great effects ideas (eg, Satan costume) and not that bad a story idea. The problem came when the actors were just plain old, bad. For the rental price it is OK for something to watch to pass the time, but not great for parties.
