AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

I'm out of words.

Thank Christ.



UNCOMPROMISING UNDERGROUND FILTH

The basic premise of 10 old south families with a long held secret covenant could have been great. However, the movie itself was poorly written badly acted, and edited horribly. Then at about the 90 minute mark, it went from just plain bad to stupid. I accidentally rented this piece of garbage and I have to say it offends the hell out of me when bible thumpers start hitting me over the head with their beliefs.

It's all make believe people.

I'd say it's an exaggeration to say this is a "Christian" movie -- which is NOT to say it's a good movie. The only reason it's marketed using a "Christian" angle is that's the only way the producers could find a market for this piece of tripe.

The movie starts off semi-good, looks like some kind of supernatural beyond-the-grave kind of thriller, but falls off a cliff very rapidly. The Christian themes are very poorly developed -- people just kind of pray, make the sign of the cross, and badi-bang badi-boom, things happen. Ghosts appear and raise their arms, and things happen, la-de-da. No heads spinning, no caskets popping out of the ground, none of the good stuff.

This may well be Malcolm McDowell's worst movie since Caligula (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080491/) courtesy of Bob Guccione and Penthouse. I can't vouch for his or Chuck Carrington's accent, but the movie is not likely to move their careers forward.
