ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Vincent Pardue Have you ever seen a film that was so bad it made you angry? Dumbest, worst film ever. I'm angry that I wasted my time trying to watch it.
khankauser Okay South Africans here it goes im a major supporter of my SA but this was not the beat of movies let stick to the comedies for the time being... Okay firstly the introduction to the movie in the beginning went so fast Then why is it the protagonist of the movie looks like a person of the streets? I mean its okay for her to look beautiful in the beginning and then creepy later on... As for the ghost okay so I was a bit irritated with the long tongues to have her possessed its supposed to be ghost stick to that. Dont add in alien aspects its a bit ridiculous. And the over dramatization its a definite killer. Example the end seen where her mother is killing the two ghost.. or they tongue scene where they trying to posses her ... not that great .. Overall what I can say thumbs up to is the effort for A south african production so proud of you guys.. the camera effects werent bad at all lighting where needed great... Hope this was helpful. SA love
solotl The first thing I thought of, after the kidnappers drove to their hideout, was "why does an abandoned 'whatever' have electricity?" Not just the area where they were holed up, but the entire complex. And why does a creature that can wreak on the world need a dip criminal to help capture two more soles? I haven't finished the movie, yet and I will, but then it's Friday night, my wife is out of town and I need something to put me to sleep. I found it. Jump scares don't bother me, stupid plots and dialog do. Look for it on Netflix, don't throw good money after bad.How many lines is 5 lines?
Stephen Abell This is the kind of kick-in-the-pants the horror genre needed.In a much-abused genre, it's difficult to add anything new so what writer and director Alastair Orr and co-writers Catherine Blackman and Jonathan Jordaan did was to change the situation and in doing so added a breath of fresh air to the genre.Hazel, Ade, Mark, and James are habitual criminals in search of the elusive "Big Score". It's Hazel who has the idea to kidnap the daughter of her father's former partner. It was he who was responsible for her father losing his business while he gained all the power in the jewellery business.Knowing there's a lot to be made the gang kidnap Katherine and take her to a warehouse to await her father paying the ransom. However, there's something wrong... Katherine's parents don't answer their phone or their cells... It's only when Ade and James return to the house that the mystery starts to reveal itself.All the actors were respectable in their roles, though Carlyn Burchell as Katherine, Steven Jon Ward as Ade, and Zino Ventura as Mark were stronger in their portrayals. It was the story and the acting which made the movie for me as the direction was pretty average and didn't really add anything.In fact, there was one scene that very nearly spoilt the entire movie for me and that was when the director decided to go slow motion to say look at my special effects aren't they nice(?) Who the hell uses slo-mo anymore(?) Then there was the decision to change a character's personality for the last segment of the film. Hazel, played strongly by Sharni Vinson suddenly becomes weak and continually scared. This makes her more like a stereotypical horror "Scream Queen". This happens so suddenly that I just stopped and wondered "What the Hell!?" There was no need for it and it weakened the story, character, and film. Bad Move.There are also a few other minor inconsistencies that you may notice, though they don't hurt the film as much as the couple mentioned above.Well worth a watch, even if it is only once. I may even watch this one again if it makes it onto any of the telly channels.
