okay, this movie sucked, baddd


acting was stupid, plot was stupid, then ending sucked and the movie had so many plot holes.

back to the acting, god awful is a word i would use.

Why are people saying this is a good movie? Gravedancers was so much better than this.

Don't watch this movie...

reply

evryone has diffrent opinions...thas why!!..*rolls eyes* but dont tell ppl not to watch it...make up ya own mind people!!


ive never seen Gravedancers so i cant compare...

reply

yes, you are correct, but its my opinion, that this movie is so bad, not to tell people to see it

go watch the gravedancers, the acting is kinda bad sometimes, but its much better than this stupid film

reply

Do you mean "baaaaad" or are you trying to simulate stuttering on the "d" like as in bad-d-d-d-d-d. Because what you typed would be the latter. I dont really care about your opinion of the movie since you didnt articulate a position on what you thought was wrong with it. As a result, the only thing that stands out is that weird screwed up typo.

The acting was ridiculously terrible. There was not one performance that didn't make me wince.

There was not one enjoyable bit of this movie. I watched the whole thing because I was dedicated to see all 8 Films, but I grew more and more impatient the longer the movie went (which seemed like an extremely long time).

I strongly recommend that nobody watch this movie.

I didn't think this was a bad movie. I thought it was pretty decent for a thriller (not a horror). It was a nice twist on the vampire genre.

"terrible - FACT"

I think it's more like "terrible - OPINION"

Wrong.

gravedancers was horrible. i haven't watched this movie yet, but I mean c'mon, there was a scene where a giant ghost head was chasing the jeep with the two main characters in it. lame. i dont think you can get much worse than that lol

reply

Personally I thought this was the best of the 8 Films To Die For. It was original,
that's more than I can say about most horror movies anymore.

i just watched this wow it wasn't bad per-say, buy i fast forwrd
all the way thru..the idea was great but failed short in my book! very stale sets and low budget! bummer, the best of all these films is REINCARNATION.........it was made well and creative!

reply

i agree.
you can say that this movie wasn't all that great, and it wasn't,
but it was by far the best out of the 8 films to die for.

reply

This movie rules like a king. WATCH IT!!!

reply

Must say the same things like you, darnapkin. Where's the horror??

reply

yeah, the plot was extremely stupid, and the actors too. And all the fading's into black...(!) It reminded me of an awful tv movie, that is strange since the cover promised this was the greatest independent horror ever. It was even selected on 7 film festivals(why?) American horror has no future!

reply

It had interesting plot twists and the ending made certain other parts of the film make sense, like why the family kill a.k.a. not merely or their own personal pleasure. A very elegant non-diegetic speech from Francis at the end was very relevant, but unfortunately, one of the only few good pieces of dialogue in the film. *beep* you" and "go *beep* yourself" were about as far as the writers could go in terms of witty one-liners

I just couldn't get past the god-awful acting, cliche ridden script and amateur looking cinematography. It looked like it was filmed on a *beep* phone, and thats the non-video camera perspective I'm talking about.

Overall rating, 3/10

What plot twists? What did the ending make sense? Was I the only one who knew the damn ending the whole time. I kept waiting for a twist. Its pretty obvious what is going on the whole time. And trust me I'm not one of those people who always know what is going to happen, not by a long shot. But this movie was really really bad. The other 7 were good, they were what I would expect from independent horror films, but this one was horrible.

reply

Yeah the twist was pretty obvious from at least the middle of the film and as for the identity of Lenny I thought it was implied that he was there younger brother... I never realized that they were even trying to hide it. LOL

Awful movie!!

Some of the worst acting I've seen.

reply

I didn't think this movie was bad. Sure, it had a few flaws, but it wasn't terrible. If you want terrible movies, go see Mystery Science Theater 3000. The movies that the three main characters make fun of are way worse than this!

I didn't think it was bad at all, maybe the problem is that it wasn't gory enough for some people.

Or it required a little thinking. You had to think about what is going on with this family. The oldest brother is making breakfast, and the sister comments "why do you bother".

What's their story?

It was kind of intriguing that they were trying to have some normalcy in a very abnormal family.

What is the deal with them? Many of today's horror fans, well moviegoers today have a double digit IQ, they would prefer to not have to think about what is on the screen.

Just sit there and watch special effects and gore for the sake of gore.

And as far as the cinematography, it's no bad or worse than most films.

This film had some suspense, not just blood and guts for the sake of violence.

reply

I thought it was good. I thought it was so good that I bought the DVD at a swap meet. It was hard to find.

reply

I agree with OP - this was a bad one. I recorded it as I was watching another program. I just finished watching it and FFWD through most of it. It was so awful. I'm so glad I recorded it and could skip most of it. I deleted it straight away.

I think this is more a testament to your inability to focus for very long rather than a lack of quality narrative technique. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and your opinion is always correct for you; however, there is viewer failure as much as there is movie failure and after watching this film for the first time, I feel this film is suffering from a lot of viewer failure due to perhaps misrepresentation in the advertising or perhaps expectations due to limited tastes of what horror is perceived to be. This is, after all, a low budget film. That doesn't excuse bad story telling, but it may excuse some of the acting expectations.
I found this to be an interesting and far more original new take on the vampire mythos than say "Twilight." I thought it was right up there with "Let the Right One In" as far as originality. Horror is varied, from subtle psychological thrillers to the torture stuff. Fans should stop trying to judge all horror films by one aesthetic. It isn't fair to the genre or those exploring those varied levels...and ultimately does the viewer no good either. But then again the industry needs to stop advertising films as "The Best Ever" that's for sure going to lead to disappointment.
Next time, allow yourself to invest in the whole movie before you judge it. It sounds like multitasking has led to your fear of wasting time. Some of the worst movies ever made are worth seeing. It gives us something to talk about, not to just summarily dismiss.

where does your taste come from?I thought it was a very good movie.
