This is the most awful movie I have ever seen. I am a horror film fanatic but this one is just bad. The acting has no depth at all and the plot is very scattered. No offense to those who like it but be warned and do not waste your money on this.
shareyea, I saw a preview for this on the saw dvd, it looked pretty cool so I rented it, but I'm about 30 minutes into it and its not really holding my interest at the moment and makin me sleepy, does it get any better as it goes on towards the end, oh well...I have it a few more days if I change my mind.
sharetruthfully I have seen worse.... ever seen The Wickeds? trust me not so bad in comparison!

It does not get any better. I literally did fall asleep during the last half an hour, so I know what you mean. I really think it may be the worst movie at all time, and usually I can see the "positives" in just about any movie.
If it was a movie posted on ifilm.com, then I may be able to give them some credit for taking the time to make this as amateur film makers, but it's a shame that Lionsgate is distributing a clearly amateur effort.
I believe this movie makes Fear of Clowns look like an Oscar® winner. Fear of Clowns is another movie that really should not have reached distribution.
My friends and I rented this for a night of horror...I felt ashamed for watching it inbetween The Shining and Wolf Creek. This also promped us to make it a tradition to rent two horror movies, a terrible horror movie, and a comedy.
I think, the only reason I actually sat through the movie was to see if the main what's-his-face would make out with the guy he kidnapped, Mr. ZOMG-I'm-Kidnapped-and-can't-act-at-all. Yeah. The only thing that kept my attention and throughout the film, my friends and I kept screaming, "HOLDHIMHOLDHIMHOLDHIM!!!"
And then, during the ending, when Mr. What's-His-Face is spewing out all the deaths and letting his angst on, he says, "And my brother, Lexblahblah..." I remember myself saying, "...HE HAD A BROTHER?!"
So yeah. To save you from watching this film, here's the plot in two sentences: Demons want a book. The End.

shareYou mean to say you already like this rubbish? You would have to be involved with this film to not hate it. I've seen more films than I can name and Desperate Souls is in the top 3.
Then that menas you've only seen what 3 or 4 films then?share
You can go now.
I am currently about 15 minutes into it and you are right. Worst acting I have ever seen, Just makes the whole cast and movie look and sound stupid.
shareI saw this movie on a table at the FanExpo in Toronto. I said the exact same thing. "Wow, that movie f-cking sucked!"
This guy, Michael Chudnovsky (looks exactly like Bam from Jack Ass), was standing there and he pointed across the table and said, "And there's the director."
My mouth just dropped. The director of Desperate Souls was sitting right there behind the table. Chudnovsky is apparently a business partner, producer or something. Anyways, I felt like a bit of a moron. I think I was a little hard on it the first time through so I gave it another watch when I got home that night. I still don't think it's a great film but I've seen worse.
Chudnovsky said the guy earned 80,000 grand (or I think that's what he said) selling this flick to Lionsgate. Nice!
More power to them and I wish them nothing but the best with whatever movies they make in the future.
