Purely Joyful Movie!
disgusting, overrated, pointless
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreHELL'S GATE is a zero budget Canadian horror flick made without much in the way of wit and wisdom. In fact, it's one of the most downright boring horror movies I've seen in a while, and the original title (11:11) gives some indication of the level of stultifying boredom you're in for when you sit down to watch this.Firstly, the whole film has a schlocky, amateurish feel to it, like it's been made by a group of local students. The acting is of a sub-standard quality and the script is so poor that you genuinely wonder if they made things up as they went along. The main actress wanders around with a permanent downtrodden look on her face, still suffering from random childhood trauma that plays out in the opening shot (the best moment of the film before it all goes rapidly downhill) and encountering various spooky phenomena. As suggested, it's a complete waste of time, and it's a safe bet to say that watching any of the classics of the genre will be preferable to this.
View MoreOkay, so one person said that if you liked 11:11 then you've got to be a Goth. But I personally prefer being called Alternative.Just like this film should be defined as alternative. It was an interesting film that while didn't really give some answers like who really was that Raden chick anyways? Or was it really all a dream? I feel like it could have been Dallas.There are some really interesting things to note. The twenty major occurrences to happen before 2011. Some actually being the earth quake of San Francisco, 9/11, Mad cow disease, and the election of a black Pope and thus the madness of man. (Black pope's are Jesuits not actually African or something.) Also the methodology of paranormal researchers is pretty accurate compared to some other films.Of course, it's not completely accurate. Someone else also said that they enjoyed this film because they like prophecies. They probably should have pointed out that the Mayan Armageddon came and went about 600 years ago.Sure, the acting wasn't the best but it was better than most horror/end of days films you see including the 'End of Days'. Other films that were frankly not better, but had a better budget, could be considered to include The Omen, Constantine, and Signs. But of course we know that cash doesn't a good movie make. After all, we have 'Night of the Living Dead', 'Evil Dead II' (which is horrible acting, cinematography, and everything else but that story), 'Lost Souls', and 'The Prophecy'. And I would include this film among them.Overall, it's a good story that doesn't go over the top or attempt to please us with a happy ending. There's no massive battles with a lack of cops, although the one that did happen also resulted in the Sheriff dying if anyone was paying attention. There's no flashy graphics or bobble headed morons to distract us. The only thing that hurt this film? Editing. It's obvious that it should have been much, much longer.
View MoreWas a college acting class exercise filmed and released as a movie? The formulaic posturing and stylized drivel of a "horror" soap opera for people who don't like horror films but wish to be able to tell that friends that, yes, they did see a horror movie. It even features soap opera music.Do books falling off library shelves scare you? Do doors shutting terrify you? Then this flick is for you. Have you ever been kidnapped? Yeah, most of us have. When you were raped, was it simply ignored, because the rapist was the cool kid? What's scary is not this movie but this filmmaker's view of the world. And then the little twists aren't even original. This is a film for people who've never seen a horror film before, who don't want to see one now, and who want to see another flick about everyone conspiring against the weird kid.
View Morei hired this movie out from my local movie shop, not really expecting anything to flash or fancy. Since it was a "B" grade movie, made on a very tight budget. The opening scenes of the film were rather original and so was the plot and thats what made me hire the movie out. However the film becomes very boring and frustrating at points. The story had plenty of holes in it and the acting had its fair share of disappointments as well By the end of the film i was praying that a higher power was going to strike me down where i laid as i was extremely bored but more importantly frustrated with how the story turned out. i still don't understand what actually happened and i don't particularly care. in conclusion the devil would cry in disgust to know that Hell (his domain ) was used as a basis for such a crappy film.
