My gods! Was it terrible. Too cliché and generic. It's more hilarious than terrifying. But if you're into one of those moods when you just want to watch terrible horror movies, this would do great. I mean do get those moods. Unfortunately, I didn't watch this movie on those moods. BUT! I did get to see Alycia Debnam-Carey's butt though, so...I'm giving it 5 points for that. :P Good thing I love ADC. This movie stained the reputation of my small flower child! She's too adorable in this movie though. That is the only reason I watched the whole film, but if ADC wasn't there. I would have been done 20 minutes into it.

This movie caught my attention cause of Alycia Debnam Carey and I am not embarrassed to say it!!Then, being a huge fan of thrillers I thought I would give it a shot. And I was very pleasantly surprised!A thriller movie first and foremost has to have that eerie, spooky, unpleasant atmosphere that puts you in the mood of "something ain't right here... something must be not what it seems like...". And it succeeded!Production wise it is just fine. Not a lot of fuss about things that don't' need a lot of fuss. The actors were each good casting for their roles. And Alycia... Ooh man oooh man..That girl can really act and I hope that she makes good choices cause she really does have IT!Now, this I have to say: The "Trevor" character is the same actor that played Finn in "THE 100". I will not spoil for those of you that haven't seen the movie yet... but this dude is one of the luckiest/unluckiest characters on earth!!!!!!!! Both "Lexa" and "Clarke" man!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? BOTH OF THEM!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?The movie is filled with allegories and symbolism. Very nicely done guys. The whole story and how it ended was as it should have been done to make it worthwhile. Sometimes payback is not "a bitch"... IT IS THE DEVIL HIM/HERSELF!

The movie plays out similar to "The Village", but unlike that movie, it actually plays out well. In modern society, a small village within the county chooses to remain isolated and follow the ways of old, whilst maintaining and proclaiming the sanctity of God. Things turn awry as an old legend comes back to haunt a few girls – six girls, on the sixth month, of the sixth year, will die one by one on their eighteenth birthday and the last remaining one will become the "Devil's Hand". The movie progresses with a crazy preacher instilling fear throughout the village, proclaiming the ways of old are superior and assist with them living their lives. However, the young girls as part of the prophecy always threaten this and are kept under close supervision. Contact with the outside world is made as their birthday's approach and strange things start to happen. Things escalate and typical horror movie finesse transpires. The movie is pretty slow to start and leads the audience in one direction, but completely changes towards the end of the movie. It's good and worth the watch.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=6801).

This movie had some promising elements and very good production value. Despite what seems to be a modest budget, the lighting and technical aspects of the filmmaking on display here are all pretty top notch. The young female leads are also pretty strong and the fundamental idea behind the story seems like solid starting point.Unfortunately, there's really not many more positive things I can think to add. The way the story unfolds is completely predictable and not even slightly interesting on any level. It's pretty much the same old same old that you see in any "powers of the devil"-type horror movie. No new ground is broken.And while the movie is far from being terrible, it's just as far away from being good and ends up as a textbook example of genre mediocrity.
