The Well

OK, not the best acting but who cares? You don't go into a film like this expecting Oscar worthy performances. It's a good fun, gore fest of a movie. Yes the plot has a thousand holes in it, yes you can see where it's going and often predictable. I've rated this film 5 stars but I would've liked to give it a solid 8 but can't - It was released too late for that. If it came out in the 80s we'd have a real classic on our hands here because you can forgive older films for having pretty corny SFX. You expect that but in today's movie world you just can't get away with holding a spear under your arm trying to make it look like it's stuck in your abdomen. Kudos to the creators though for mostly working with old style gore and effects and very little CGI (which was pretty bad).

It's a very watchable film, have a laugh, let your toes curl and just go with it. Pretend it's an old film and you'll enjoy it. Go into this expecting a masterclass by today's standards and you'll be bitterly disappointed.
