Amazing (spoilers)


First understand this movie is a slasher gore fest. Blood for the sake
of blood. made to be very camp, badly dialogued, and really bloody.
But, the movie redeems itself in several important ways.

It keeps the attention.

The story is kind of fun, and the effects are great, as well
as original. The film is not linear which is refreshing as well, and
credit must be given to the director Directed by Olaf Ittenbach and
writer Thomas Reitmair A feel of the Dark Ages permeates the entirety
of the film's course, showing the savagery of the times, without a lot
of recourse for the feint at heart.

Yes, the acting in this movie is by far the worst acting I've ever seen
in my entire life. Lines read with out inflection, tone, feeling, or
believability of character.

The editing is very bad, and sadly rushed.

The effects are terrific though, and the plausibility of the storyline
is kind of fun, leaving just enough mystery to keep the attention of
the viewer.

See, in movies like these, generally they give too much away right at
the start, which shows bad scripting and bad directing, thankfully this
movie manages to circumvent those two major obstacles.

This movie verges on the realm of extreme Japanese horror without being
Japanese. Reminiscent of Movies like Flowers of Flesh and Blood, Ichi
the Killer. Although Ichi the Killer has something this movie does not,
and that is the charisma of good acting.

The ending is pretty good, and I found my interest kept right until the
end simply because the actors who are decent, draw you in, and the
effects are really cool in the end. Overall I rate it a 6.5 It could
have been better, what with the acting, and editing, and some cohesion
problems, but thats okay. There is much worse. This movie is not for
the feint of heart.

i agree with everything you said, the story was interesting enough to keep me on the edge of my seat.

and the effects were absolutely brilliant. i thought Xenia should have been in it more, but i guess everyone died in it at sometime (spoiler, sorry).
