Too much of everything

Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply Perfect

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The monster costume interested me in the film, but said movie's content was dull. The 13th Child is another one of those movies about characters investigate a mystery the audience already knows the outcome of.It takes place in the small community near Pine Barrens which doesn't feel like a community at all. At one point we see inside a hospital, but essentially the movie could be taking place in the middle of nowhere. Occasionally, citizens who have little relevance to the plot appear and only rarely will these scenes have any payoff.Essentially, we're following three cops who investigate a murder and some creepy man living in a huge mansion. This keeps getting interrupted by "present day" scenes of an older cop detained in a mental facility. Again,since we already know the result of the mystery, this holds no suspense.

I can't comment on the accuracy to the legends as I am English, and have only numerous X Files episodes to compare it to, but this film was one of the funniest things I've seen all week. The shoddy acting, and the terribly executed sex scene proved to really brighten up my rainy Tuesday afternoon. I especially enjoyed the 'attractive blonde's lack of attractiveness, the dramatic pauses and sighs, and Mr. Strouds uncanny likeness to Robert Goulet. I wouldn't go as far as saying avoid this film, although I would definitely say avoid paying for this film. I really feel for the other people whose comments I read who said they spent $7.50 on it, although I have little idea how much it is. Thank god for terrible £1 films at Tesco!Also, anyone else notice that none of the deer's had eyes? Weird.

Was this movie about the Jersey Devil? I think not… Were any of the incidents in the movie related to the folklore that's been told for over 200 years? Again, I think not!I've read every conceivable book, article and documentary that I could find of old JD and this movie doesn't dabble with any of it. There is no documentation anywhere that the Jersey Devil killed people. In the movie however, JD enjoys a blood fest.With all this being said though… Accept the picture as if it has nothing to do with the Jersey Devil. It's still not very good. The story line is weak with not much thought in the direction. The first few minutes of the film grabbed your attention with a little history about JD. Once the story began it slowly went downward and into a climactic crash landing at the end. It was a horrible ending to say the least.I have seen worse… I can say something good about this film… I did enjoy the deleted scenes; one scene in particular was deleted for not being politically correct. When Kathryn gets lost in the Pine Barrens and comes across the Snake Man. She suddenly burst out in anger and despair; "Does anybody around here speak English? Did I take a wrong turn somewhere? Am I in Albania?!"The underscore was well done and Theo Eastwind's cut "7500" is a cool tune."Mankind is so unkind." So am I in giving this film a three star rating.All The Best! ORTSAC

Come on people,this movie isn't that bad.True,this movie is no masterpiece or Oscar winner but it doesn't deserve the scorn that a lot people have given it.This movie is about average.I gave it a 5.It's not the best horror movie ever but a lot better than others like the "Blair Witch Project"(highly over rated),"leprechaun"and "troll(both were just plain stupid)and all of the "Friday the 13th's"(i wish Jason would die and not return).The acting was about average but the plot was alright.I do agree that the Jersey Devil would have looked better if it was computer generated but it looked OK.When watching this movie you'll realize it's not a great horror movie but it's not horrible.So come on people,lighten up a little.
