Simply A Masterpiece
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
The first must-see film of the year.
After responding to an emergency call, a group of paramedics find themselves abducted by a strange doomsday cult that has intentions of including them in their plans, forcing them to fight their way out before the group carries on with their plans.This is an utterly terrible and completely boring thriller masquerading as a horror film with the one single marking point for it's inclusion in the genre is a single scene where a formerly dead victim is reanimated through unknown means and is up walking around soon afterward with a strange look in their eye. Beyond that, there's hardly anything here that really gives this one a horror feel or tone, and the fact that the majority of the film time is spent with them doing nothing but sitting around or focusing on the group telling each other to get ready but not doing anything else. This one leaves far too much unexplained or really confusing as to it's inclusion, leaving the whole thing an unmitigated mess that focuses on completely non-threatening cult that serves no other purpose but to continually keep the film going without explaining anything. Tiresome, clichéd and rather uninteresting make this a really useless entry all around.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and children-in-jeopardy.
I enjoyed this movie But where is the sequel ??? Needs to pick up were It left off !!! It might be a bit different but could be a great movie !! The ending was the best Part about the movie ... It need a bit more action as where if you did a follow up it would have more !!! You left us hanging and wanting more !! So a great direct to video would be just as great !!! I really enjoyed the lead actor !! Have always loved him !! And I couldn't believe that was the same actor that is on Castle that is playing his partner !!! Throw out the movie I kept saying I know that actor but he looked a little different so I wasn't sure till I looked it up !! At times a little slow but over all a good movie !!!
Pretty Good STV Study of the "Death Cult" like Jonestown/Waco. The Problem here is the Evil doers are not very Scary or Interesting. The Human Religious Counterpoint is a Superstitious, St. Christopher clasping Minority who Whines a lot.It seems that when You Reduce everything to an Equation and Formula, much of the Heart and Soul is canceled. No Need for Alien Soul Snatching or Demonic Possession, the "Language of the Universe" is enough to Eradicate Free Will.The Cultist go about Their Brainwashing and Bad Deeds in a Dry, Methodical, Mathematically based Theology so Matter of Fact that the Drama Suffers. The Film Never quite Reaches that "Twilight Zone" Atmosphere it is searching for, until the very Last Scene.
With two competent leads (Johnny Messner and Jon Huertas as paramedics abducted by a cult), one fairly entrancing nemesis (Daniel Benzali as the cult leader), seeds of a good story and decent direction, one immediately thinks this movie could have been much better.Writers Daniel Myrick, Julia Fair and Daniel Noah seem to have come up with a basic idea, without being able to elaborate the concept further. The result is a story with few interesting elements in-between its introduction and conclusion, and no rhythm whatsoever.Details of the cult are brushed over. Viewers are probably supposed to see this as shrouded in mystery but instead, the sentiment is that the writers failed to flesh out these things. And since none of the imagery, dialog or plot element is particularly engrossing, we can't take a "mind trip" as if this was a Lynch movie either, because use symbolism in this film is weak and immature.Director Daniel Myrick (Blair Witch Project, The Objective) has done much better in the past but here, there's simply not enough happening to sustain our attention for long. If the details were to remain that sketchy, I think this would have been better off as a sort of Twilight Zone TV episode.I appreciate the attempt but this is Myrick's weakest movie I have seen.
