Sadly Over-hyped

How sad is this?

As Good As It Gets

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A friend of mine rented this thinking it might be a good movie for a low budget laugh. All I can say after watching it is Euugghh. The only reason i saw it all was for the train wreck effect. I just couldn't look away.I've seen beginner student films with more storyline than this... I hesitate to even call it a horror film. It wasn't scary, it wasn't interesting, it wasn't much of anything. It wasn't even bad enough to laugh at. The script was SO bad, the effects were the worst I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bad indie horror films. The lead guy was not believable at all. Seemed like his only motivation was just in it to kiss a few pretty girls. Makes for a pretty shallow character in my book. I just saw on here that he's also the writer/ director. This must be how he tries to pick up girls... by casting them.The female lead, Mia was a good actress and the evil angel girl was pretty decent too. They were the only thing that kept me watching this stinking pile. These were also the girls Mr Lead guy was out to kiss. I wonder if these girls were on to this guys game. Anyway, long story short... Don't rent this film unless you're wanting to tie someone up and torture them!

There's a category called B Movie, basically where all horror movies that that are either low-budget, not scary, really bored with no horror scenes, (or all the three mentioned) is placed. However, this movie doesn't even deserves to be in this category. It is all that plus it is pathetic, and with the notion that this film is made entirely for the sake of making it, with no regard to the quality or to the basics of filming.The scenes are mostly in sephia color, which is not very good for the eye. However, some people might find it unique and thus liking it.Credit has to be given to the portrayal of the 7 deadly sins, namely pride, extravagance, sloth, greed, wrath, gluttony, and envy.

Basically filmed and edited like a dream sequence, this film does take you to the other side. Excellent cinematography. Very good camera work and editing. A lot of the film is filtered in a sepia tone type coloring, with lots of starkly contrasting images. The acting is also well done, especially some of the "7 angels." The seven angels are basically the seven deadly sins. And the story is the lead actors' journey through temptation. Not a whole lot of action, but some blood and sex. It gets a little slow in parts, but the characters make you like them enough to want to know what happens to them. The film's design was also very well done. Props that are prominently placed but seemingly have no connection, will crop up later in the film. It does a good job keeping the weirdness and dream-like quality going throughout the movie. Not for everyone, but if you like weird, thought-provoking movies, I recommend this one.

Please, I understand that we need B movies. But this is already C. The concept I'd like because I'm a big fan of post-apocalyptic movies. But this script just cannot decide how it should actually define itself. Once it's really a post-apocalyptic vision, then it's a dull horror movie that wants to scare you with beast sounds and awful camera movement closing on the actors, then it becomes a circus of freaks as new "survivors" pop up just because the scriptwriter ran out of ideas. I really don't understand why to do such movies in the 21st century. Avoid this movie if you can. You'll be claiming the runtime back from your life after watching it.
