Main Title
Summary:
Enjoyable little diamond
in the rough
|
First
understand this movie is a slasher gore fest. Blood for the
sake
of blood. made to be very camp, badly dialogued, and really
bloody.
But, the movie redeems itself in a several important ways. It
keeps the
attention, the story is kind of fun, and the effects are great,
as well
as original. The film is not linear which is refreshing as well,
and
credit must be given to the director Directed by Olaf Ittenbach
and
writer Thomas Reitmair A feel of the Dark Ages permeates the
entirety
of the film's course, showing the savagery of the times, without
a lot
of recourse for the feint at heart.
Yes, the acting in this movie is by far
the worst acting I've ever seen
in my entire life. Lines read with out inflection, tone, feeling,
or
believability of character.
The editing is very bad, and sadly rushed.
The effects are terrific though, and
the plausibility of the storyline
is kind of fun, leaving just enough mystery to keep the attention
of
the viewer.
See, in movies like these, generally
they give too much away right at
the start, which shows bad scripting and bad directing, thankfully
this
movie manages to circumvent those two major obstacles.
This movie verges on the realm of extreme
Japanese horror without being
Japanese. Reminiscent of Movies like Flowers of Flesh and Blood,
Ichi
the Killer. Although Ichi the Killer has something this movie
does not,
and that is the charisma of good acting.
The ending is pretty good, and I found
my interest kept right until the
end simply because the actors who are decent, draw you in, and
the
effects are really cool in the end. Overall I rate it a 6.5
It could
have been better, what with the acting, and editing, and some
cohesion
problems, but thats okay. There is much worse. This movie is
not for
the feint of heart.
