I've never watched a movie before that played it's trailer before the feature film. That was a bit offputting and weird, because I thought that the movie had started and was inexplicably jumping around in the story to create a sense of confusion and chaos.
Sarah's accent is very poorly done and amateurish that I cannot tell from which country the character is meant to hail.
So, the metal detector worked without 9 volt batteries. What was the source of it's power? Magic? Yeah, this plot device wasn't working for me at all, because the scene on the beach was anti-climactic, the acting was flat and uninteresting, and there was no build-up of cinematic tension. We have no idea who Tracy is, why she was at the beach, how she knew to be there, what the book is, or why we should even care about her or the action in that scene. I am confused.
How are the pages in the spell book not completely rotten, wet, blurred, or otherwise damaged from spending who knows how long buried in the sand? This is asking me to suspend my disbelief way too much.
Every single actor and actress in this film delivers their lines with little conviction, emotion, or facial expression. I'm just not invested in anyone, don't care about them, and I'm bored to tears.
Tracy reading the Necronomicon over a cup of coffee is kind of funny.
I missed something over the next few minutes, because Tracy suddenly goes crazy and kills the guy who was helping her find out more about the spell book. She now has a semi-psychopathic grin on her face and her hair is disheveled, because messy hair totally means cray-cray.
There are way too many long stretches of action which do not advance the plot and have absolutely no dialogue. I'm already fighting sleep and the movie is only 25 minutes in.
A hacksaw cutting through human flesh and bone would not sound anything like the sound effects put into the dismemberment scene. The sound effects sound like a log being slowly sawed while popcorn is popping in the distance and someone is popping small gauge bubble wrap.
The swarming flies are ripped straight out of The Amityville Horror. Lame! Find your own strange phenomena to demonstrate that something weird is going on. Furthermore, pick up the pace, skip every scene that does not advance the plot, and the truly terrible acting are putting me to sleep *nods off*.
Relative or not, who in their right mind would show up on someone's doorstep unannounced and expect to be taken in for an overnight stay late at night? Weird. Maybe we are supposed to gather that the young blonde girl with green hair is herself weird simply by virtue of her unnatural hair color, tattoos, and multiple piercings? Gee, how stereotypical.
Never before have I been some completely and utterly bored with a low- budget "bad movie" that I fully fell asleep. Twice. Snoozefest!
