Reviews
Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
D. R. Quintana I witnessed this thing go from script to screen and I dreaded seeing it, only because half of the cast and all of the crew were from the local Houston film scene and a bunch of drama monkeys. But it took me several years to finally watch this 'bird that couldn't fly' and there was just so much 'junk' in the film that I was a little surprised I made it through to the end; it has it all, bad acting, bad lighting, bad sound, bad editing, bad this and that, and some terrible performances from actors that I know are far more talented than their performances in this awful, awful film. Somewhere it was boasted as almost being a "million dollar production" and I couldn't comprehend it then and certainly not now. I've had some slow Mondays and I am sure that I played it through several of them just to get through it. But if this is 'Houston's best', then Houston dashed it's dream on the wrong director/writer/editor...However, I will give kudos to the music, it was about the only thing that was original and paid for. There's no way they could have screwed that up.
keshnaitenrut This film had great potential to remind viewers of some of the horror greats like Jason or Michael. Instead it fell flat with disappointing performances from all but Grace Powell and Dylan Horne. Terrible camera work, bad sound broke any immersion that might have been possible. But sadly the first thing I noticed was terrible make up. I have seen first year make up students apply better make up than this movie had. The biggest problem was that nothing made sense. The violence was barely explained, though a back story is mildly flirted with. The only reason even mildly hinted at is a mental handicap. However, that feels like a cop out from a writer that lost the story. All things said and done budget problems like shoddy camera work, terrible effects, and bad make up can be forgiven. If there is a well thought out and intriguing story to watch. Unfortunately this film fails in all categories.
Buddy Love My girlfriend and I recently picked this movie up at the redbox and let me tell ya this movie was beyond bad...the acting is terrible and through out mostly all of the movie its filmed in a black and white flashback scene to let you know how Jacob became the way he is...Jacob wasn't even scary to me, he's just some fat slob that walks around with a stupid look on his face, the killing scenes were boring! Everyone in this low budget crappy film couldn't act, the only enjoyable actor was the little old tales from the crypt looking lady...this movie isn't worthy enough to even be at the redbox and I demand my 1.28 cents back now!!!
blah blah Jacob is pretty good. There is a demonic insane person named Jacob and his demonic ability comes from his father being killed in a bar killing everybody and then passing the demons on to him. His last hope of sanity and the person who was keeping him sane was his sister or whatever i went on the computer while it was explaining it but her name is Sissy. After Sissy gets killed he goes on a rampage and starts killing everybody in a Graveyard while putting Sissy in a grave. Then there are Otis or whatever and Earl. 2 maybe unnecessary people right? WRONG! Otis is married to ( ??? i forgot. Something that starts with a E ) and is the mother of Sissy. Otis kills Sissy. Who knows what happened to the mother. but there is a haunted house that possesses Jacob's father. Jacob never says a word in the entire movie. Not even in his flashbacks. But it is a bloodbath. Love it.
