ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Michael Ledo The fact that this centuries' trifecta doomsday dates ended at 12/12/12 did not deter the folks at Asylum. Never should the facts stand in the way of a horror film. For some reason "we" were never meant to have a leap year, but rather "we" were supposed to add a month every 120 years. Apparently the creation of artificial calendars has a profound effect on people. On this new calender date of 13/13/13 people suddenly go into a berserker mode for no real reason and people born on Feb 29 are unaffected most likely for the same reason, whatever that is...my guess is angering the calendar god of an extinct civilization.Okay, it is easy to overlook plot point stupidity in a horror film, especially Asylum. This creates a zombie like atmosphere where a small group of people (in this case 2) must battle against raging hordes of humanity who also like to kill each other and themselves. Jack (Trae Ireland) our main character takes his divorced wife (Calico Cooper) to the hospital leaving his daughter Kendra (Tiffany Martinez) alone with his redneck buddies. When all hell breaks lose he wants to go back home to try to find his daughter who wasn't born on Feb 29...That is the story. There are gallons of blood all over the place with the opening scene being a sad display of special make-up. There is an unreasonable amount of F-bomb dropping with an uncomfortable scene with 12 year old Kendra crudely asking a grown man if he wants to have relations with her making this unrated film unsuitable for most people.This is not the direction Asylum needs to go.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity. Sex talk.

kelseybells524 I streamed this movie on Netflix and thought this would be watchable. But, it wasn't. The acting, writing, editing, directing, dialogue and plot was terrible. How did this movie EVER get made? Anyone who rates this movie higher is on crack. It was like a mix of "American Horror Story", zombie movies, "The Crazies" and the "Scary Movie" film series. The writer/director shouldn't be making movies anymore! The plot and the DVD cover looked like it was written by a 5-year old. The laughing, swearing and music was terrible, too. T I know that The Asylum is putting out garbage like this. A girl named Kendra in this movie, is trying be be a rip-off of "Carrie". It was like a very bad copy of "World War Z"! It felt like I was watching a VHS! Also, this film starts in washed out, low contrast mode. And the color contrast was low as well. I give this a 2 out of 10.

Kienzan Upon seeing this is released by The Asylum, you might be tempted to flee in the opposite direction as fast as possible, but you would be missing out on something they are not known for...an actual good film. That's right, a good film...not a 'so bad, it's good' film like most of them are, but a solid, well directed film that rises above it's budgetary restraints. From the interesting premise, to the camera work (with some great tracking shots), to the 'didn't see that coming' moments, and finally, to the insanely dark humor...it all adds up to an enjoyable time.Of course, it's not without its problems. I mean, this is still an Asylum picture we're talking about here, but this is quite the step up from what we're used to seeing from them. It's definitely worth a watch.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This being a movie by The Asylum, then all odds are stacked against the movie already. However, and this did come as a surprise to me, then "13/13/13" was actually one of the better produced movies to make it out of the clutches of the guys at The Asylum.That being said, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that this movie is great, actually far from it. The storyline is adequate, but it was weighed down by some questionable acting and even more dubious dialogue.The story is about leap years having added time to the calendar as we know it, and one this unique day dated 13/13/13 the world comes crashing down, leaving a small group of people fighting for their sanity as the world crumbles into insanity around them.I will say that the storyline had potential, but it was just shot down by a heap of irrelevant sidetracking and really annoying characters and bad performances. There were certain aspects to the story that had potential, and could have acquired so much more had director James Cullen Bressack opted to put more focus on these.The outbreak of violence and erratic behavior was interesting, but it never really amassed into something spectacular. And throughout most of the movie there wasn't an overwhelming sensation of this being a major issue and a world-threatening outbreak of whatever phenomena it was supposed to be.The characters in the movie were rather two-dimensional and wooden, never really getting to shine on the screen, and as such, then we end up with a bunch of characters that the audience don't really care for or come to have any kind of bonding with in any regards.Production-wise, then "13/13/13" was actually quite good, and this was definitely a step in the right director for The Asylum, but there is still a long way to go yet.This movie came and went without leaving a lasting impression, and I seriously doubt that it will make a return for a second viewing. The movie just didn't have enough to offer to sustain a second watching.Don't get lured in by the interesting poster / DVD cover, which I did, because it is utterly misleading and promises something that has nothing to do with the movie at all."13/13/13" gets a mere 3 out of 10 rating from me, given the production value and certain aspects which had potential.
