Reviews
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Youshouldntsaythat I love when movies jump right into the action, and "The Cloth" did not fail me in this area. On the other hand, this film jumped so far into the action that character building was neglected. The only thing that I learned about the main character, Jason, after 45mins of viewing was that he liked to club, he liked sex, he knew a preacher, and his whole family was killed.After 45mins I was clueless to why the main character was the chosen one to fight in the war, why did the preacher have a key to his apartment, and why was there a long drawn out exorcist scene in the beginning because they could have just shot the b**ch with the crucifix weapon. Because of the lack of character building and plot holes I stop watching at 45mins.There were other faults like the acting, the mood, the unnecessary use of graphics; in fact the graphics seemed out of place. I thought the sound effects where great and the music blended in well.Although I thought the movie sucked, I think the director could have potential. I understood where he or she was going with the film, but he or she missed it by a long shot.~Watched alone in the dark~
joeywyss This is the first movie I actually just ejected out of the DVD player and completely bailed on. I had hope on the first scene, which wasn't bad as far as a low budget movie goes, but it just collapsed from there. Not one single actor here has any more experience than a freshmen level drama class, and I don't necessarily mean college. And the tiny scenes with veterans Eric Roberts and Danny Trejo, who gave Oscar worthy performances by comparison, just made you see how absolutely bad the rest of the cast were. Then the amateurs are given a limp, vapid, and clichéd script desperately crammed with exposition, which again, I tried to overcome. Then the direction and editing pound the final nail in the coffin. Scenes where "actors" blow their lines and try to repeat them are left in uncut. The laptop grade CGI effects are teased but then never used. After the fight scene in the garage where all the punches and special effects were all off-screen , I cried uncle and hit eject. There's a reason the first scene is the DVD cover, its the only successful part of the movie.
the_silver_angel_13 With Danny Trejo on the scene, I knew this movie would either be epic... or a total cheap fail. Sadly, within the first (literally) three minutes of the beginning to this movie, I noticed how horribly done the CG special effects were (describing the "breath" and "live-action injuries"), and continued on throughout the entire film. Had they've just exhaled smoke vapors and makeup-ed a few bruises and cuts instead, I wouldn't be writing this review lol. With that being said- it is a good thing the beginning "possessed" girl simply body-contorted.Moving onto the bad acting- yes, even with all the other familiar faces casted; acting all around seemed forced. Maybe poor directing can be to blame? The Cloth, based on CG effects alone, could be compared as though The SyFy Channel had produced another "original movie" in the horror genre. The unspeakably horrendous acting however, shares no comparison. (I have seen better in forensic file reenactments.) Seriously, line-by-line was awkward, to say the least.As far as ideas (emphasizing the use of science fiction-esc weaponry), attempts at humor in the characters (but poorly produced), and actually showing the demons (in obvious latex masks) rather than making them a shadow or mist, makes the film less excruciating to watch. I say judge for yourself- watchable if you can get past
jwitzel28 This had to been the worst movie ever. The acting is just horrible. The characters show absolutely no inflection/emotion in their voices. The special effects(well, if you call it that) were just pathetic. My cousin's 11 year old son who makes movies has better quality sound effect programs on his computer than this movie! The story line wasn't even that good. The movie was not meant to be funny, but for some reason, I laughed the entire time, especially at the producer's attempt to make believable demon voices. And I think the most ridiculous thing about the movie was the Jesus uniform that the main character wore. I don't think the cross emblem(or anything that signifies Jesus) belongs on people who run around with weapons blowing heads off of demons. That's an hour and half that you'll never get back, so don't waste your time.
