Fantastic!

Absolutely the worst movie.

A Brilliant Conflict

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

THE KILLING OF JACOB MARR is a typical indie horror film which follows a bunch of holidaymakers as they stay in a cabin in the woods and uncover a dark secret dating back a couple of decades. The titular character owns the cabin and as a boy he discovered a weird object in the woods, an object which possessed him and caused him to commit violence. The arrival of the youths leads to more violence. This is a film which is slow and amateurish throughout, not very novel, just tired and inept. The script is a little better than most and things do build to a grisly climax, but overall there's little here to enjoy.

Seriously, just not good. First, the plot is totally stupid.Kid finds a meteorite and it makes him instantly crazy? How? Better chance is, he'd get radiation poisoning, then go crazy.Nope...finds it, goes nuts and kills his parents.Okay, whatever. Stupid plot, but I've watched worse.This movie is extremely tedious and boring. I honestly only sat through it due to morbid curiosity.It had to get better, right? Wrong.What really gets me is, who rented the cabin to the friends? Was it the nutty guy? If so, when did he learn to talk? Bad, BAD lighting. I could hardly tell what was going on half the time.Bad lighting doesn't make a movie scary...it just makes it bad.If you have no other choice, this movie is okay.Otherwise, avoid...

One of these days I'm gonna start reading the 1 star reviews FIRST before deciding to watch a movie! First - acting is rigid and artificial; Second, I could never understand the story. This movie seemed to be an attempt at combining a lot of types of horror flicks and it's a HUGE FAILED ATTEMPT. Unfortunately this is time in my life I will NEVER get back! MY BAD! I've been watching horror and psychological movies for the better part of 40 years - beginning with the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". In it's time it scared the bajeebers outtah me because nothing had been made so over the top at that time in film making. It truly set the bar, in my opinion, for bloody massacre movies and unfortunately this trite movie tried to walk in to it's territory VERY UNSUCCESSFULLY!

There's good low budget and there's bad low budget, this movie is horrible low budget.  How many times did they put an awkward and horribly misplaced "f@!# no!" in there? I dare you to count. 1. The actors are bad, all bad. Most of them sound like they aren't talking, but reading their words from a piece of paper. Not believable at all, where did they get these people, craigslist?! 2. Lighting is really bad, at times you can't even see what you're suppose to see. When the characters are driving to this cabin of theirs, you mostly see darkness with two or four headlights moving, which gets boring quickly. This goes on for way too long which brings me to my next point: 3. The movie drags on. Typical low budget movies, they contain a ton of unneeded scenes and meaningless conversation. They could have cut down a lot, there's too many moments of meaningless nothing in this. 4. I can't stand obvious errors in movies. Two cars drive down a dark road in the middle of nowhere, the first car stops and there's no sign of the other car behind them? Very likely.  The characters are talking about how lovely the cabin area is, when it's PITCH black outside, unless they have excellent (and inhuman) eyesight, there's no way they could tell. As for being scary, not at all. The special effects are horrible, the movie tries to be funny when it's so not and in short, this movie was nothing but boring. Oh and the twist at the end makes no sense. They really tried to create a smart and unexpected ending, but they failed miserably. Avoid!
