Don't listen to the negative reviews
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
View MoreSeven friends go out to cabin for a weekend of relaxing and find a game that should not be opened! While the horror aspects are alright, it is the humor that really made this bearable, particularly the hilarious "scary story" from Simon Brady, played by Erik Woods (an actor who may be known for a bit part on "Charmed").Most reviews trash this film, with one saying it looked like it was shot on an iPhone. While I will not say this is a great film ,and would not recommend it to pretty much anyone, it is not nearly as bad as you might suppose.
View MoreI'm just going to lay it out there, no holds barred. The whole "haha sexism" macho posturing thing does not save a movie from being poorly written and produced. It does not give every crappy movie unearned legitimacy. If anyone watching has half a brain and any semblance of self respect at all, they *will* see this trash for exactly what it is.It's one thing to make a low budget movie. But it's another to intentionally produce complete garbage with no redeeming value whatsoever.Everything is cheap. The costumes are cheap. They were probably in the bargain bin at Goodwill. The props are cheap. The plot device of sexism being interjected in every other sentence is cheap. The ghost make up is ripped from the cult classic Carnival of Souls, and therefore cheap. The setting and scenery looks like some backwoods camping retreat tolerated the camera crew long enough to get some free advertising and exposure. *Some* of the actors are competent, but whatever talent they bring is wasted on this piece of crap.This movie will not only offend women, but Goths, Wiccans/Neopagans or anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of Greek mythology. They couldn't even bother to Google simple facts. They were "progressive" enough to cast a token black dude; then made his character so unlikable it was pointless. Oh and FYI - there is not really a game in this movie. It's just a piece of large construction paper scribbled with markers or crayon, burnt at the edges to make it look "spooky;" with a set of dice thrown around for no real reason. I laughed at the strong copyright warning on this. Who in the world would want to pass out DVDs of this rubbish, even for free? There is no real story, just the same regurgitated, banal, predictable "Teen horror movie" crap we see too much of already, only worse.
View MoreI think if this movie had a bigger budget, it would have been really great. The concept is good, the acting and shooting is typical "B" rated movie, its better than most low budget movies, and would be an amazing blockbuster with the right people. Worth the rent, if you have one of those pay by the month things, instead of individual movie prices. FYI - My "8 of 10" is with the knowledge that it is a rating for a B movie. I think the good witch looks amazingly like Ali Larter, but I can't confirm that, and they take death in real stride. The acting was totally unrealistic. Its very Blair witch, and there is a time loop kind of thing happening. You wonder who "athena" is, and why she is important. It needed more story. It did not actually show any people really doing anything, which was very Alfred Hitchcockian of the director.
View MoreJumanji gone terribly wrong! Ohnoes!Go into this movie expecting a low budget, but hopefully creative film. Dialog's pretty funny and original. The acting is primarily very bad, but that's okay.The male actors are in fact so horrible that they cannot even stay in character or hold on to a believable emotion structure for even a few seconds. The girls seem more believable overall.The characters are fun, the dialog is funny, sometimes so bad its fun.I really liked the sundial concept that was pretty cool, more like a moon dial, or egg timer for the dark wiccans of doom! AHH!!!"I thought he was taking me to a spa..." That chick's death was pretty sweet.The movie was very low budget, we knew that, but at least it keeps you wondering what it's all about, which is more then I can say for a lot of other horror movies, which made this movie at least enjoyable.Sadly I think the people who rated this so low did so unforgiving of low budget movies. yes some of the plot and character cohesion was really bad. But conceptually, effect wise, music wise, honesty wise, it was pretty fun and kept me wanting to know what the hell was going to happen.
