Horrible script, Horrible acting, Horrible movie


Ok last few minutes but other than that, some of the dialogue and the reactions of the characters are laughable, very bad writing. I could have wrote a better script myself. The ending was an exorcist rip off so nothing original here. Not very good at all. Im suprised it even rated over 4. I give it a 2.

well good for you, write something and we will note it...

I gave it a 9. But then I'm not some anal retentive movie critic that bases my opinion of a particular film on other films. Go figure.

Explain why any of what you just stated applies? You may as well have saved yourself the trouble and wrote "This movie sucks." Because you failed to elaborate on anything you just stated. Why was it bad writing? Why are the characters laughable?

the writing was not just bad, it was MISERABLE. It was all so stilted...on the nose.

The production values were awful, too. It looked so cheap. Like it was shot for $5K (which perhaps it was, who knows).

It was rather boring, quite ugly, with very poor acting, and a script that utterly lacked subtlety (and otherwise just wasn't any good). There was a fairly cool twist at the end (albeit one that occurred to me while watching it), so I generously rated it a "3." That twist, and getting to watch the actress who played "Carmen" (because let's face it, she's very pleasant to look at), were the only things this film had going for it.

Total crap; skip it.
