God of Pain

Algea are Greek gods of sorrow and pain. What this movie does with that is pretty clever. We all have demons, and in this cold world, people rarely are forced to face their own. What if.....instead of death row, the most horrible criminals are sent to be judged by an ancient deity called Algea in a hell-like place.

The 7th terrace.....Algea's playground. If you've hurt good people willingly, if you've caused others needless pain, Algea will find a way to make you pay tenfold. But if you're innocent and wrongly convicted, he'll find that out also. You can't fool a god; he is a lie detector test and executioner all in one. So what would this look like in our justice system?

This movie is really beautifully done but also makes you think long after it's done. A+ on the cinematography, performances, and direction. Really atmospheric and darkly haunting also. Looking forward to seeing it again.

Sometimes you see a movie so bad that you wonder who actually thought it would be a good idea to make.

Ordinarily, I just ignore those. But sometimes you happen to look one of those movies on IMDB, and see that it has more fake positive reviews than any other movie you've ever seen. And then it inspires me to want to leave an honest review. That's this one.

Wooden acting, the cheapest possible production values, a "plot" (barely) that seems like it was written by a 12-year-old, this film is missing virtually everything that might make a film worth watching.

If only they'd spent money on actors, writing, and production instead of on fake IMDB reviews, this movie might have been only bad and not totally, offensively bad. And I wouldn't have felt a civic duty to point out just how fake so many of these reviews are.

First off, 10/10 reviews? Are you friggin on acid + molly + lithium and god knows what else? "Seven" is a clear cut 10, I could waste my time and yours naming so many others. What sad little people have failed to watch REAL 10/10 movies that they toss that rating around like a baseball in the backyard with your little kid, lying to him, and yourself probably, that he's gonna play In the MLB someday lmao. Look, movie was decent, as mentioned by REAL reviewers (not friends of the writers and directors and s***), and is watchable, once, but these 8, 9, and FOR SURE 10 givers need mental testing (again, unless they're working for the filmmakers. Geezus, you'd expect this to win an Oscar with some of this BS. Anyhow, it's trippy, and a bit different, so if you're up late and can't find anything else, and have a jailbroken Firestick, give it a whirl. DAMN CERTAIN don't pay for it.
