What a waste of my time!!!
Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

View MoreThis is, without a doubt, the absolute worst movie that I have ever seen. There was not a single point along the time line that I had any clue what was going on. Little to no character development, a creepily naive take on morals and the 'other', insanely bad dialogue and acting, and a million laughs for me (my girlfriend went to bed because she was completely lost and is not into awful movies the way that I am). I love the juxtaposition of how serious everyone that worked on this movie must have been and how awful it ended up being! There were so many people that had hands on in different aspects and they could have said, "Ummm, that line was really stupid. Maybe we should have someone come in and give the screenplay a once over." But they didn't! And how many of these people were fully grown adult human beings with cerebral cortices and everything? Most likely every single one of them! No excuses people. I don't care how scary it must have been to be that close to Danny Trejo (love, love, love Mah-chet- ay!).tl;dr: Watch if you love movies that are unintentionally horrible. Plus, Danny Trejo.
View MoreI apologize in advance to anybody who was involved in making this movie, but it was horrible piece of crap! I could not finish it. The acting was terrible, the plot was cobbled together and the script was poor and did nothing to make me care about any of it. Special affects were horrible and some of them just didn't fit at all. I know what they were trying to achieve, but they missed the mark completely.I wasted at least 30-40 minutes of my life before I made the decision to pull the plug on it. If I hadn't have gotten this as a free rental I would have been furious. I wouldn't even call this a 'B' movie, more like a 'C' maybe a 'D'.Do not waste your time. Watch something else instead like paint drying.
View MoreReview: Man, this movie is REALLY bad. I was expecting to see Trejo & Roberts kicking some zombie butt, but there not even in the movie that much. The director chose a really bad actor to play the lead, who has obviously not starred Ina movie before. The girl that plays alongside him has got a REALLY annoying voice and she also just wanted the payday. As for the movie, it's a simple good against evil plot which gets a bit stupid after a while. The zombies look ridiculous and really low budget along with the stupid script that really needed a lot of work. Basically, just stay away from this rubbish!Round-Up: If I was Danny Trejo or Eric Roberts, I wouldn't want my name associated with this movie at all. It won't ruin any of there careers because I doubt that anyone will see it. The beginning looked promising, for an exorcist type of movie, but as soon as the teenagers take over, it just goes drastically down hill. The music throughout the film was also annoying and cheap, which makes me wonder what the hell they spent the $4million on. They obviously didn't watch it before it got released.Budget: $4million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there priest against demon movies, but doubt expect much. 1/10
View MoreI love a good religious horror or demon possession film. My background as a Christian gives me a certain appreciation for what many critics call hokey sensationalist cinema and B-movie trash. I've seen the good ones ("The Exorcist," "Devil") and I've seen the bad ones ("The Exorcist Tapes," "The Last Exorcism Part II"). Unfortunately, Uncork'd Entertainment's "The Cloth" falls well below the threshold of bad and plunges into the abyss of laughably unwatchable.Cases of demonic possessions are on the rise across the country. A faithless young man (Kyler Willett) is recruited by the Catholic Church into a secret organization of demon hunters. He teams up with a priest (Lassiter Holmes) as they track down the forces of evil and strive to put an end to Satan's stronghold on humankind. I can only describe "The Cloth" as a horribly made Christian film clumsily fashioned together by mainstream independent movie producers devoid of any real religious slant who own an HD camera and iMovie program. Imagine graduates of Roman Polanski or William Friedkin's school of filmmaking being to blame for those "Tribulation" disasters and you get where I'm going with this. Its sexual content makes it pretty clear a Christian audience was not in mind while making the film.Imagine an Asylum film completely devoid of the self-aware humor and wit we've come to expect from films like "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" or the more recent "Sharknado." "The Cloth" takes itself seriously all the way to the closing credits. This makes scenes of a priest shooting possessed people with a demon-killing gun as they explode into digitally animated pieces even harder to sit through. As hard as it is to believe, the CGI is worse than anything you've seen in any Asylum movie or SyFy Channel original movie.The one character in the film that I found humorous and likable was the guy who provided the holy weapons to the two lead characters. If the movie was focused on him, it would've been a lot more enjoyable. His British accent and punk rock look and sensibilities added a level of fun to his scenes that the rest of the movie is sorely lacking. The guy wears t-shirts with slogans like "Exorcise Regularly." Need I go into any more explanation?I will say that the scenes of demonic possession which aren't cluttered with bad CGI look good. Whoever did the makeup and practical effects deserve some applause for the most part. The exorcism scene at the beginning showed promise that the rest of the film couldn't deliver.Danny Trejo is featured on the cover of "The Cloth" DVD as if he appears in the entire film. Be aware this is not the case. He is in what amounts to about 5 minutes of the 89-minute running time. Eric Roberts is also named as one of the main actors. He plays a priest and figures into maybe 5 minutes of screen time as well.As much as I hate saying this about any movie, "The Cloth" has absolutely no redeeming qualities. It's a haphazard attempt at combining the elements of much better films like "Constantine" and "End of Days." I hope Danny Trejo and Eric Roberts were paid well enough to justify them wasting their time and talents on this drivel.
