2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
CaptainSweatpants It took me 20 minutes to realize that this is apparently not "The Taking of Deborah Logan", a mistake that cost me 20 minutes of my lifetime which I wont get back.Unlike "Birdemic" this is not just a bad movie that you can stand through if you don't take it serious, this is plain unwatchable and probably to this date the worst movie I've ever seen. Watching a moving desktop background may be more entertaining than this "movie". I don't know if the screenwriter, the director, the editor and the cinematographer are the same person and in this case probably never got in touch with talent or taste but the guy who gave the OK to release this movie seriously needs to consider if he's in the right business.
mandcsharma This is a waste of time, I would be ashamed if I had anything to do with this movie. It borders and then surpasses cheap ridiculous rubbish that isn't worth the time of day. I lasted 8 minutes, the Sound Technician needs to be beaten with a very large stick and the director needs to find better things to spend his pocket money on. This is complete rubbish and not worth the 8 minutes I so generously gave it. BE WARNED THIS IS NOT A B MOVIE MORE LIKE A Y MOVIE! Why did they even bother! Don't download it, watch it or hire it, I read the reviews 8 minutes into the movie and I am completely in agreement with all the negative comments, as far as horror movies go this isn't a horror movie. My 12yr old daughter could do so much better than this with an iPhone. I wish there was a score less than 1 that I could give it. Possibly one of the worst excuses for a horror movies I have ever seen and a complete waste of time.
joannechapman21 This is the first review I have ever written for a film but today I have had the pleasure of seeing two of the worst films ever. The taking being one (the other the secret village which I will review next) and feel compelled to warn all. This is truly awful nothing appears to happens there are lots of flashing shots at random things and not a lot of dialogue but the acting somehow still seems to be bad. The make up and costumes obviously came from fancy dress shop saw better at my Halloween party this year and as for the demonic noises very annoying. Please don't waste your time watching this drivel the $ 650,000 spent on it was way to much and would have been better spent elsewhere on something worthwhile. Other reviews say 11 minutes is the point you pause and see what the IMDb reviews have to say I must say I got to 12.58 minutes so I must be a little more tolerant. Please don't watch I wasted my time so you don't have too be warned.
djadrianleigh Only reason I even sat through this movie is for my kid brother's minute and half of on screen time. My brother is Travis Everett aka Man Dog (The fat naked guy in the woods with the muddy scraggly long hair and beard). He has confided in me personally and we both agree that this movie flat out sucks ! But even for those few brief scenes of screen time I am very very proud of my brother for just auditioning and getting into this movie. My brother Travis actually likes and loves all your negative reviews of this movie and actually thanks you all personally for them. And challenges all future negative reviewers to push the envelope to see just how far you will go to impress him and make him laugh.
