NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
ark30inf The lead guy wrote it. I guess thats why the jarring switch to an unnecessary and unexplained sex scene with Allison Eastwood occurred. I would rewrite to drop that in also if I was him.I am guessing they also found out that Judd Nelson was coming onboard after the script was written and had to duct tape him in. That would explain him dropping out of the sky for no apparent reason as an FBI Priest. FBI Priest? It would also explain why his character was clueless each time he appeared and seemed purposefully written to have no impact on the plot at all, he was like the ghost of a dead career haunting this movie.This movie has an almost artistic way of leading you on to think its going to get better. A secret ancient ritual with a nude killing each day? Let's stick around! Is the ritual ever mentioned again? No. Weird cuneiform writing? Must be something weird! Lets stick around. Was it? No. Start out with babe victims and then move to old friars and old ladies. Blah. Why are these bad guys mutating into some other guy? Must be supernatural lets stick around. Was it? No. It's weird, but its a fairly watchable pointless mess.Need to explain why the Priest heard nothing...lets make him deaf. Need to have the Friar not say what he knows....lets make him a mute. Need the sister grabbed at school but the bad guy can't do it because he would be recognized....have a random guy do it who is never seen again. Need a way into a building.....create a secret tunnel and give a lame one-off explanation that has nothing to do with the plot.The acting was not that bad except at the start. In fact, the movie was starting to drag me in a little until Judd Nelson suddenly dropped out of the ceiling into the movie and jarred me back to my senses. If you want to see a watchable exposition of bad writing this will do.Why is there snow in one part of town and not elsewhere? The secret tunnel goes to the "East Forest".....but this church is downtown is it not? Why is the first bad guy washing out bloody cloth with gasoline?
rickblain20 This film was recommended to me at the video store. I did not expect the film to be this good. I found the story to be very compelling, the acting was good. I read that the lead, Allson Eastwood, is Clint's daughter, you can see the resemblance.The snow scenes give the film a very creepy element, which adds to the mood.The violence is not over the top, which most thrillers seem to attempt.They spent some money on the look of the film. And there is a neat little twist at the end.I would recommend the film.Rick
mr_filipe_lemos This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen:bad actingbad storybad characterseven bad scenarios Did this movie went to the cinemas? If it did... I would want to be the poor guy who payed ticket Not even the sex scene (which appeared out of nowhere) was not worthy of special attentionDoes anybody know Carol O'Connell? She's a great new york writer. I've any of her books is transformed into movies. See it, it can only be amazing. And please mail me if u know anything
ofjeworstlust Oh no. Just don't think of renting/seeing/buying this one. Rip-offs from many movies with the same storyline. Bad acting - if you've seen this one think of THE interrogation scene. No one buys that one. Or the teenage daughter that is wild and changes into a daughter anyone would like to have, yeah right. The story line? So stupid I couldn't believe it and my wife stopped watching half way. Reasonable decors, lighting and effects. But OMG, the end is so predictable and the 'who' and 'why' won't bother anyone. This already is too much for comments on this so called movie. Some supernatural effect are brought into the story, but they aren't explained or worked out thoroughly.
