The Edict

Jessica David gave a powerful performance while going crazy in the mirror. Very nice. Drama, madness, and suspense! Good watch!

This is a very boring film. It doesn't really capture your interest. It revolves around some kind of haunted voodoo sculpture that originated in Iraq, and has the effect of making the main character possessed, who previously had mental problems to begin with. Her fiance's job is to help her through all this. Every single scene seems mundane and the story basically plods at the same pace from beginning to end.

A dark and suspenseful horror with a sense of dread and foreboding throughout. It has a very clever opening sequence that really pulls you in, with some great visuals and sound design. Lots for genre fans to enjoy.

The Edict is an excellent throwback to horror films I grew up with. I was incredibly impressed with this new film and glad I found it. Mark Cross directs a solid cast in this creepy indie thriller where Freya Saxon absolutely nails a performance so convincing you will find yourself wondering if this is some paranormal activity or her own psychological deconstruction. Fantastic job by all! Bravo!

From the outset this film is just a laughable bunch of suspense/horror cliche's badly taped together. The story line (if you can call it that) could have been written by a 5 year old. Dionysius Akeem comes across as a really nice guy, but his acting is so plastic, it's like watching a robot perform. I have seen better in high school productions. Jessica David's character is more engaging and makes a believable job of somebody going nuts, in spite of the terrible story she is playing out. If I bothered to think about the story a little more, I would ask myself how the main character could be the last person to visit somebody just before they commit suicide, but the police haven't come looking for him? Really? Oh and finally, if you do watch this, you will either need to do it when your neighbours are out, use the subtitles, or wear headphones You will need to have the sound up so hight to hear the faint, mumbled dialogue, but the MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS WILL BE BREAKING YOUR WIDOWS!!!
