First off I'll say while this movie isn't very good, it also wasn't as bad as most of the horror movies I've seen lately, including the big budget ones. It was worlds better than Boogeyman but then again what isn't.
The good parts of the movie was the fact that it actually managed to be original even if at times stupid. The Intermedios themselves I actually liked when they were special effects pieces. At other times they were just humans with make-up on which I guess was due to budget constraints.
The bad however outweighed the good points of this film. The gore effects were VERY poorly done. The girl getting chopped in half made me cringe for all the wrong reasons. What was pretty funny was when one of the characters gets his fingers cut off and instead of effects they just had him ball his hands into fists and drenched them in blood. It was amusing to see his fingers still there in EVERY scene.
The acting was another sour note and surprisingly the worst of it came from Edward Furlong who is the best known actor in this film. He seems to be doing his very best and quite noticeable Charlie Sheen impression throughout the movie which tends to get really annoying.
Overall while having it's moments, the film is ultimately garbage and should be avoided by anyone except for those people who like cheesy horror. 4/10
