Please don't spend money on this.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Heading out into the wilderness, a group of friends visiting an abandoned cabin in the woods find that the area holds a slew of possessed bodies inside and their presence has freed the demons into the group forcing the ones left to fight off the deadly beings to escape alive.This one was a decent if slightly problematic entry. When this one works, it's due to the rather enjoyable setup throughout the first half of the film to just dive straight into the plot without much hesitation. It doesn't take long for the group to suddenly start getting to the unleashed beings which is where the fun starts here as this one is pretty much non-stop from the start. The discovery of the doll and the unleashed terror that comes from that are pretty chilling, and the scenes down in the basement where the demonic figures begin toying with the trapped group come off really nicely as the concept behind these scenes is rather terrifying with the alternate portal being opened with the flashing light and distorted sounds constantly appearing throughout here. Since the group is constantly fighting off the different beings and possessed bodies being thrown their way, the action is rather constant here and the encounters only get more frantic and intense with the possessed continuously getting involved here in some incredibly trippy and distorted scenes featuring all sorts of demonic beings being present. Even the final confrontations are a lot of fun, and given that these basically bring about an endless slew of bloodletting and gory creature effects it does come off really nice overall. While these make this one a lot of fun, it does have a few issues here. One of the main ones is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of explanation for anything that goes on, making the scenes in here incredibly confusing more than scary. There's really little about the extended sequence of the demon coming through the TV set in the basement for minutes on end where all we see is distorted images of inhuman feet or legs while bestial growling plays during the whole sequence which registers because it's impossible to make out what's going on, and that this is a common occurrence throughout the film is a big drawback. Nothing really seems to happen for a reason here and the overall confusing nature of this one just makes for a really painful time trying to make sense of what's going on, from the nature of the possession to the need for the time-traveler being thrown into the mix as well. Likewise, the film's really low-budget does end up harming this one with the distorted voices being indecipherable, regular speaking voices being way too low to be heard properly and way too many dark scenes being blobs of pixels on-screen which makes it hard to tell the nature of the sequence. These here are what really hold this back.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
Open yourself up to this one, and let the writer take you into his mind (and into yours for that matter).If you want your usual "four teenagers go to the cabin and get slashed up" - go look elsewhere - there is plenty of that out there.I have never seen a movie like this. A one of a kind gem. Discerning viewers only for this one.
What can I say about this movie...well....not much,it really was awful.I don't believe it was bad acting that let the movie down,more a case of the movie letting the actors down. The effects were awful,the sound was horrendous,the music was worse,and the editing was the absolute worst I've ever seen,and I've seen some pretty awful movies,lets just say that Syfy channel movies and Asylum movies are a huge step up compared to this offering. The one redeeming part of this movie was the presence of the beautiful Taylor LeeAnn Graham (and I'm not into rangers),who was completely wasted talent in this crapfest.To sum it all up,stay a long,long,long way away from this rubbish,you've been warned.
I can't even begin to tell you how bad this film is! I have just wasted nearly 80 minutes of my life and I feel like suing the distributors of this film for even agreeing to make it public! I feel sorry for the actors to be honest, they probably won't get chance to work again. Audio track is distracting at best, badly edited and annoying at worst, effects and gore are very poor quality, DVD case plot seems reasonable, in reality its boring. I only sat through it because I thought "it MUST get better", but it doesn't. Starts like a poor quality parody, and just gets worse and worse.If this was on youtube as a college kids attempt at a horror made with friends, it would be poor. As a public released film where people are expected to pay money to watch, no, its wrong, someone should have stopped this film ever getting pressed to DVD! Seriously, its junk, buy it just to see how bad a film can be, you will want a refund!
