Limbo

This is quite the gem. It shows that even with a shoestring budge of a little bit of dry ice, cheap wearable plastic horns, red lights, and aluminum tubing, that if the story is powerful enough, that is all that is additionally needed to carry it to completion.

Not to give away the story but imagine yourself appearing in a room, both with a prosecutor and defense attorney. The crime ? Your life. The reward ? heaven.

What makes this film especially interesting is the dialogue and actors. The wording is so very carefully chosen to hook at once the viewer. God and the devil are referred to so familiarly as to the "Old Man" and "Brother."

Has a twist ending too. Must watch, and has re-watch value at that.

Zero sex scenes though and zero nudity. A few might've driven the stake all the way to me at least up to 10-stars, but I was not at all disappointed by what I did see and will definitely want to see again later.

A strange movie which the prosecutor tries to send a killer to hell while the defence attorney tries to save the killer's soul by sending him to heaven. The murderer story is brought to light by flashbacks and it is quite funny because other deceased people are called to give their statement as witnesses. Not much violence or sex here, I like ninety minute movies, specially those who have a good plot. A plot twist by the end is well placed. But I suppose that hardcore movie fans will not be surprised by this so-called plot twist. It is a horror and comedy movie, but it is not so funny or scary. However good performance made me feel like if I was in a theatre.

This was a fairly enjoyable film. The characters were well developed and the actors made them believable. The plot was interesting enough that I wanted to know more and to see what would finally happen. The concept was simple but it worked well because of some very creative writing with just enough humor and a mix of drama to keep things moving at a good pace. The setting and effects added to the intrigue and mystery of what was going to happen next moments. Someone mentioned 'Man from Earth' and I would totally agree. You'll be pleasantly surprised as I rated this a 7, a fair movie.

I wouldn't go that far to say that Limbo is a gem like somebody else wrote, but the story itself isn't bad. It's a bit different, not one of those déjà vu movies in the horror genre. Well horror is a big word, because that's not really the case for Limbo. Everything happens in hell, or just before hell, and there are some demons, but it's all more dramatic than scary. The acting is not award winning but not bad either. Limbo is a bit different from all the rest, but I'm glad I watched it.

This is actually a really cool movie. I have no idea why the low rating.
