Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

An Exercise In Nonsense

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This movie was in no way shape or form anywhere near as bad as described by 99.9% of reviewers on IMDb. Now is this movie great? No. Is there better? Well, yeah, much better. But (now this is the true question) is this (or among) the worst? After finally watching this movie last night on a pay channel for $3.99 I can honestly answer no. It's not the worst. Maybe nearing the area of the worst but for the most part it was a fairly entertaining, kinda psychological, horror/thriller. The added plot twist is rather obvious IF you're looking for it. I was just obliviously watching it not looking for it so when it came I was kinda surprised. Then kicked myself for not realizing it anyway but you can't have everything. The setting is perfect, what kind of movie that takes place completely in a mental hospital not at least somewhat good? Now throw in the Grim Reaper stalking a bunch of kids throughout the facility and you've got an added 30% of excitement. Could the Grim Reaper (the actual character) have been better? No because it was thee Grim Reaper. Cloak, hood, the whole 9 yards. Could the movie have been better? Yeah, they could have had the title character in it much more. He had very little screen time, although the time he had was pretty interesting. Never really boring or slow. Just the anticipation of seeing the Grim Reaper might make this film seem a little slower than what it is. A very deserved and earned 7 outta 10.

After watching this (and I use the term loosely) film, I find myself wishing that the Grim Reaper had killed me before I chose to press that accursed play button. Terrible story, Horrible acting, the only redeeming feature of this monstrosity is they all die in the end.I've never seen any Michael Feifer films before this and if the rest are of a similar quality I won't be seeing any in the foreseeable future.I'm glad that I chose to download it instead of wasting money buying it. I'm happy in the knowledge that a simple press of the delete key has removed this piece of s#!t from my collection forever. Now if only I could delete it from my memory.

This movie contains the worst actors I've ever seen. I got the felon that they had an open casting on the street outside Burger King and selected the persons who wanted the least amount of pay. But the idea of the movie is great. I think if it was a higher budget on this flick and if a better director made this movie it could be a really great movie. The idea of escaping and cheating death and then try to get the Grim Reaper of your back is really exiting. So if you like the idea and don't pay much attention to the effort of the actors see it. But if you think the actors is very important in a movie "like myself" then DO NOT see this movie.

I took this film out because I've been writing a script that happens to deal with the Grim Reaper (in a sense at least) and I wanted to make sure I wasn't ripping anybody off. Plus I like to check out other low budget indie horrors.In general, I think the flack it's getting is a bit extreme. It's obviously a low budget movie and by no means a terrible one.PROS: Great editing/pacing (the film moves very well and has a terrific energy to it)Good lighting - sets the mood quite wellGood technical direction - camera movies effectively, some scenes are staged quite wellGood sound design - very creepy and ominousCONS: Mixed acting - at times its all right, at other times, its unacceptably, um, bad.Plot - it's too familiar and too silly for its own good. And the twist with the doctor, is so ridiculous, it has to be seen to be believed. Characters - just not unique or fleshed out enough to be satisfying. Overall, a reasonable B horror movie. 4.5/10
