Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Charming and brutal

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I can't comment on the accuracy to the legends as I am English, and have only numerous X Files episodes to compare it to, but this film was one of the funniest things I've seen all week. The shoddy acting, and the terribly executed sex scene proved to really brighten up my rainy Tuesday afternoon. I especially enjoyed the 'attractive blonde's lack of attractiveness, the dramatic pauses and sighs, and Mr. Strouds uncanny likeness to Robert Goulet. I wouldn't go as far as saying avoid this film, although I would definitely say avoid paying for this film. I really feel for the other people whose comments I read who said they spent $7.50 on it, although I have little idea how much it is. Thank god for terrible £1 films at Tesco!Also, anyone else notice that none of the deer's had eyes? Weird.

The trouble with small budget movies is that they must often sacrifice too much to get made. I wrote DeathBite with Mr. Maryk. That did very well as a book, but the film company that bought the rights went bankrupt, and the bankers decided to make the film (among other things, hiring a comedy director whose idea of horror was to skip the tension and build-up and go right for the gore)! 'Nuf said? I don't know the specifics of what destroyed 13th Child (producers? director? stars who should say lines and never write them?), but I can attest to the fact that Michael Maryk's original screenplay was nothing like what went onto celluloid. It was tight, coherent, and well paced. It conformed smartly with the essence of the Jersey Devil legend. I'm sorry that you won't get to see that version.

I am from South Jersey, and very familiar with the legend. I even worked as a tour guide at Batsto Historic Village, where the movie was filmed. Interesting fact, the outside scene of the hospital is actually the visitors center at Batsto. Also, one of my friends is a thirteenth generation decendent of the Leeds family, and her mother worked as a consultant on the film. The story of the Jersey Devil that most people know, the one of mother Leeds cursing her thirteenth child and causing him to become the Jersey Devil, is where the title of the movie comes from. Unfourtantly, that story is copyrighted, and the film makers of this film had to use an alternate story. So naturally it wasn't what most people expected, but it could have been saved. Unfortunately, the filmmakers tried to cover all of the holes in the movie, weak backstory, mediocre acting, and poor editing, with excessive gore. The only thing I could think of when I left the theater was, Yucky! It was a poorly made movie, that wasn't properly researched.

Started out with some promise with documentary style of the Curse of the 13th Child and/or the Jersey Devil, but after that starting with the pot smoking hunter it reminded me of a 1974 style , made for TV monster movie. A lot of blurry images of the monster and a camera man's eye view of the victims. This stinker had absolutely nothing to do with the Jersey Devil or the 13th Child (whatever that is). The low budget Devil's choppers had one look to it. A close-up, corn syrup sticking , hard plastic stiff, opening of the jaws. Cheap. The only decent part of this bomb was Cliff Robertson aka Mr. Shroud. He did look like Bela Lugosi in White Zombie. I think Cliff was just having some fun and had the high powered friends to get this onto the shelves and get a writer's credit.
