Reviews

Alex After watching this film I realized the definition of a "Nothing Movie" But before we get into the review, I think I'll go over a bit of what happened. OK we open to an old man, who I presume to be digging clay or other minerals, when he stumbles upon the hand of "The Creature" *cough*Vampire*cough* and he pulls the stake out of his heart which some how brings him back to life? (This movie IS NOT consistent with typical vampire lore/mythology by the way, so if you came for accuracy, back away now) Then we cut to an open road, but first, a few minutes of absolutely gorgeous cinematography...more on that laterAfter about 10 whole minutes we get our first piece of dialogue from the main characters(?), and really, there's not much besides this... Honestly... unless you count inaudible grunts, screaming, yelling, etc as dialogue. So anyways, the couple gets stuck and they try and find a house or whatever so they can get back to their vacation that they never mention besides the fact that there is one. Instead of just going back the road they took (the characters are poorly written to say the least) to searching for a house or other people to help them out. The mentally retarded Mark finds an abandoned house with the pre-mentioned old man who ,obviously, has gotten bitten by the vampire and is bleeding and screaming and whatever. Mark goes back to Female Character and tells her they need to help him. Pretty much after this is an inaccurate, inconsistent, dialog-free, intensely boring, continuous fight scene/ "plot" thing.Mark dies because he is useless, this was the best part of the film because his INTENSE STUPIDITY really built up a lot of hate in me. Now this is were the extreme inconsistency becomes unbelievably obvious. Mark is turned into a Vampire via scratch marks on his leg, then killed from being exposed to the light of an artificial light source. HOWEVER. The old man vampire had previously lit a wood stove to try an "smoke the couple out" How did the light of the fire not kill him? That was a huge plot hole. Then there are other things like, at the very end, Somehow Extremely Brave Female Character, tries to light the house on fire or something and the main vampire STEPS DIRECTLY INTO THE FIRE AND DOESN'T DIE EVEN THOUGH ANOTHER VAMPIRE WAS KILLED SIMPLY BY BEING EXPOSED TO IT. Or Female character repeatedly ripping off pieces of her shirt to cover wounds, only to have her shirt completely repaired in the next time the scene cuts. Just stupid, easy to correct stuff like that... was present through out the entirety of the film. So if you're picky, you won't like it.Also, there's no backstory whatsoever. And sooo many unanswered questions. Why is the vampire there? How did he get there? Why is the old man digging clay? Why does this film exist? Did anyone on production stop and think about the insane amount of plot holes for one second?And finally the cinematography. This is something the film could have done right. This probably could've made the film watchable. However, they decided to use it at completely unnecessary times. For example, in the car when Mark and Female Character are talking, we got all these weird angels and stuff. Like why? I guess they just realized they were good at something then OVER USED IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. As a quick side note, The Creature costume also sucked. The claw-hand glove things they used were straight out of the Halloween stores. The makeup though, was pretty okay-ishly done, too bad you can't see the creatures face except for on the DVD itself!In summary, the characters were weak, the story was full of plot holes, and the movie was pretty much the most boring thing I've ever watched.
jemz-03460 Contains spoilers: I absolutely hate it when I feel like I could have done a better job at writing and directing a movie. My first beef is that there's this random monster that is never really explained. It's just there randomly terrorizing people. I suppose we have to surmise that it's a vampire of sorts. Next, the female character chops of her freaking finger and takes it "like a man." Absolutely ridiculous. A man couldn't even take it like a man. Lol. Finally, the female was safe in a bright light, but decided turn them off to try to lure the monster I guess instead of remaining in the light until daybreak and getting the hell out of dodge. Nope. Apparently she wasn't that bright. Even if my logic wasn't applied, they could have found a better, less obviously stupid way of making her lose her well lit safety zone.
Oslo Jargo (Bartok Kinski) Take two annoying and dull Irish folks, put them in a countryside with an inept peat bog creature that can't seem to kill them, and what do you have? One hour and thirty minutes of nothing. That's right, nothing. Nothing at all. It seems said bog creature just can't kill the woman, and he doesn't really try and she then cuts herself in some accidents, about five times. She purposely cuts off her finger, doesn't bleed to death, feels no pain, and later impales her foot on a loose stake while in the bogs.It is entirely dull and trivial nonsense.
adi_2002 Sarah & Mark remain stuck with their car in mud and they go to seek help at the nearest house. After they find the landlord he converts in a creature who fears the light. Now they must fight to stay alive and in the light.I don't really know why I bothered to write a review about this. Probably because it's a bad movie and you can always find something to say about this type of film. An there is goes. It was utterly boring. Apart from the beginning the "action" takes place only inside a house. This was like watching Crawl or die, with the same scenes and places filmed over and over again. It is painful to see this sort of thing. The action develops very hard and the lack of dialog make the movie even more dull than already is. The only positive fact can be the atmosphere witch was very dark and creepy almost for the whole movie.Watch it only if you want to be really bored for 90 minutes.
