Compared to the others, this one was a much better entry in After Dark’s third annual Horrorfest. I only hope that in the coming years they pick a stronger group films. It seems always the same, six or seven crap films with one or two solid efforts. If the intention is to showcase the best of horror, all eight films need to be strong.
My only qualm with this film was the overbearing religious themes. This is always annoying, thusly, a possibly interesting film such as this one will greatly lose any sort of mass appeal. You’ll either get the religious nutbags who think it’s heretical or you’ll get the completely materialistic who can somehow find a reason to exercise blame or further fuel their disdain toward religion. While I “get” the purpose of the religious overtones, it was ultimately not handled well by the filmmakers.
It wasn’t great by any means, but was at least cohesive and mildly interesting. Aside from my annoyance with how themes were handled, it was at least not as bad as “Autopsy” or “Slaughter”; which is no real feat at all.
Get carried away? With what? Perhaps with the plunging of plastic forks into my eyes.
Whatever you do, avoid this travesty.
This movie sucks so bad…
…I wanna plunge a plastic fork in my eye. #Autopsy
