Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

... View MoreThe low rating was not a good sign, and if other recent low-budget viewings were anything to go by was worried that it would be one of those that bad or worse films. But there was the concept, while a very weird one it was intriguing. So watched 'Neron' anyway as part of one of my film and television quests (often completest).Have seen worse films as part of my recent modest at best/low budget film quest definitely, but that is saying little. 'Neron' is still a terrible film in nearly every way. It is also one of those films that doesn't intrigue at all, offers very little new. The concept was not a derivative one as such, but the execution is and is also too conventional, extremely dull and bland, often confusing and seemed resistant to take any risks. Two points in its favour is some atmosphere in the lighting and that parts of the first third show promise in providing some unsettlement and intrigue. Both are too far and between, any atmospheric lighting is wasted by most of it being drab or too dark, a too compact setting, haphazard editing and some photography that induces nausea. Meanwhile the film goes down south very quickly and doesn't recover.Direction is at best pedestrian and this does affect the pacing, which is sluggish throughout, and the direction of the actors. The acting is at best risible, with Eric Roberts clearly showing a complete lack of interest or engagement with his role that he sleepwalks his way through and the character interaction is very bland and sometimes random.From start to finish, 'Neron' badly lacks tension or suspense, which immediately dilutes the atmosphere. Nothing scares and it all feels too safe, which is why there is so much predictability. Everything is easily foreseeable long before it happens and the pacing is just too dull. The script never sounds natural and the cheese factor is high and the interest factor low as can be. The story is ruined by being paper thin, useless padding and a very dull pace. As with some recent viewings, it did feel too much like a short film stretched out to feature length with nowhere near enough content to fill it. A lot of it doesn't make sense either, far too many loose ends. The characters are never interesting, even with few attempts to which are so flimsily developed that it is difficult to care for any of them, and frustrate with the way they behave. So many stupid and illogical character behaviours here matched by the far-fetched ending.In conclusion, a mess. 2/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreThe rating on this movie is completely misleading don't waste your time. Predictable and bad writing on a shoestring budget modelled after The Omen or Rosemary's Baby if some teenagers wanted to remake one of those movies with their dad's digital camera. Why Eric Roberts would agree to be associated with a project like this is beyond me. If you want more reviews of this movie check out the movie 'Child of Satan'which is exactly the same movie with a different title (And a more accurate IMDb rating) This seems like a ploy from some of the film makers to game the ratings system to generate interest in their bad movie...over 41% of the reviewers gave it a ten? And the average female rated this a 9.7? Not in a million years... Consider yourself warned...
... View MoreThe Rosemary's baby DVD cover coupled with the title and the fact the there is only one baby in the film and is named Neron after the DC comic demon, doesn't leave me with a lot of plot spoilers to ruin this near-fine Eric Roberts film. Kevin (Yves Bright) goes to Mexico, gets messed up, like witch doctor peyote messed up, and wakes up on the side of the road like a thousand other guys except 5 years later his wife Ally (Kacey Clarke) is going to have a baby!!! Okay I really missed the connection, but she looks at an eclipse during her baby shower which means...heck I don't know but the Hispanic help (Ashley Cordelia) really freaked out. Ally has little Damian Neron and everyone around him gets a set of black contact lenses, then dies, but doesn't. But once they are dead, they come back to life, and you kill them again, they really die the second time because...I don't know. But it seems to me if you die from a bullet to the brain, come back to life, a bullet to the chest shouldn't even phase you. And one theological spoiler. In case you were out looking for the Holy Grail, it was been melted down into a dagger which you think would work its way back into the film at some point.You would think.The script was really sad. It was like the two guys took turns writing paragraphs and they were thinking of different story lines. Has some camp potential. Awfully big baby for one born prematurely.Guide: F-word. Sex. Nudity
... View MoreIt's been a long time since i laughed so much watching a movie. The plot is as basic as it's gets, the Cinematography it's a complete disaster, as well as acting, SFX and FX... I especially loved the audio of the movie... or better the lack of it. There are entire scenes without music or audio, just the voice of the actors... and they still managed to make some line totally incomprehensible, with huge volume gaps between lines and a constant noise like someone is gently rubbing the sponge foam of the mics... FX are hilarious, even worst than Birdemic, they even managed to mess up every green screen used in the movie, with awful transparency, layering and placement issues. A must have for every z movie lover!
