... View MoreI don't know if anything below will count as a spoiler, but just to be safe, SPOILER ALERT???. I didn't expect much from this film but I've been curious about it for a while. I felt that the actions, even of the little boys, were so preposterously stupid in every way that I was distracted by how frustrated I was (there is NO WAY that kid, that age, would not be able to tell that people directly in front of him were begin killed in real life). Maybe I'm biased but I also felt that the overall mood of the movie was cheapened by the repetitive references to sin/religion, regardless of the title. It definitely reeked of skewed, awkward political commentary. I was also rubbed in the wrong direction, further, by the weird incestuous stuff that kept popping up as well as the scene with the sister fraternizing with the murderer right in front of the boy. No way in hell would an older sibling do that in front of their kid brother if we are assuming we're talking about a sane, healthy relationship. Furthermore, the repetitive theme of the main character's skewed perception of reality was way, way too twacked out, even for a kid that young in a way that was completely unbelievable unless they had written him to have some type of mental issue. I absolutely love cheese, stupidity, preposterousness, but this one fell so short I couldn't enjoy it at all and felt mad about wasting my time when it was over.
... View MoreI can appreciate movies that blend horror and comedy, and some of my favorite horror films are of that sort. This is NOT one of those.The characters are so utterly lacking in any redeeming qualities, not to mention any brains at all, that you can't care about them in the slightest. After watching this movie, I had to issue an apology to all of the horror characters I have called "stupid" over the years, for doing those things we know will get them killed. At least they would have, had they lived, LEARNED from the error! Not these people! After a very short time, you find yourself almost hoping they will all die, and quickly, so that the movie will be over.The acting is pretty lame as well. No real sentiment from anyone, no noticeable emotion at all from that very odd child. The only one that wasn't a bad actor is the bad guy, who never speaks. No acting isn't bad acting, after all.The set isn't terrible, but it isn't anything special, either. Costuming is the ONLY area that wasn't horrible. Some of that was actually pretty decent. The guys will like the older sister's getup, and the villain's costume is really rather creepy. So, one star for costuming.The plot? If I could find it, I could discuss it. If you have read the basic outline, you got the entire plot already.Perhaps this was supposed to be some sort of social statement. If so, I recommend some therapy for some people, because, wow..... If there was a town as far gone as that, the human race would be extinct! I was hoping for something a little campy, but entertaining, like Trick 'r Treat, for example. Or something creepy, with humor, like some of the better horror (The Lost Boys, An American Werewolf in London, Lake Placid, etc.). What I got was a waste of time. We only watched the entire thing to see if there would be a cool plot twist to redeem the story. It would have been better to turn it off and pick another movie. The only good thing about this was it was streaming on Netflix, so I didn't loses any rental fees, just time.
... View MoreWords cannot describe how utterly dreadful this film is, but I'll give it a quick go.I'm not sure what the intention was at the outset of making this atrocity, whether it was intended to be funny or not, or if it is just so painfully bad that it was actually supposed to be serious, but whatever the intention - it failed miserably.The plot revolves around a young boy - who fancies his sister - going around with a serial killer, who he believes to be Satan, while the killer murders people. The boy is either stupid beyond belief, or mentally ill, as he for some reason believes that this is all fun and part of a game. (He's old enough to understand that it isn't, but seems incapable of achieving even this basic level of understanding).The story is terrible, the characters are terrible, the whole thing is just mind-blowingly crap that it will leave you wanting to gauge your eyes out so that you don't have to watch any more.If ever there was a contender for Worst Film Ever Made, this would be right up there.
... View MoreContrary to what people believe, this film was actually quite entertaining and I applaud rather than shun the crew for using Halloween masks for their film.Considering their low budget, I also applaud them for how this movie turned out, it was not the best I have seen - obviously - but it was a good, entertaining slasher-type film.Even though it could have been better, I enjoyed the movie throughout and especially loved seeing Amanda Plummer playing the mother role. The storyline wasn't as strong as some other movies, but it did flow all the way through. It was nicely executed with a tad of black comedy hidden beneath.I enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone, I'm sure you can pick this movie up any cheap DVD store for no more than 5 dollars - I hope.
