The Cloth

I have been an active member on IMDb for more than 6 years now and have never had given a movie a 1 rating. Until now. This movie does not have one feature I could praise. The acting is worse than mediocre (though to be honest I must say I watched it dubbed which could worsen the already bad situation), the story is uninteresting or I dare to say nonsense. There is not a single scene or performance I was able to enjoy. As for the music, it was so unimpressive I can't even remember any part of it that I liked. The conversations are dull and boring. I couldn't have cared less about what is going to happen to these characters: it didn't matter if they get killed or possessed or live happily ever after; the only thing I was concerned about was when this pitiful excuse for a movie is going to end.

At the end of my reviews, I like to give a recommendation as to whom I recommend and whom I don't recommend the movie in question. Well this one, I don't recommend to anyone. Not even my worst enemy...

This had to been the worst movie ever. The acting is just horrible. The characters show absolutely no inflection/emotion in their voices. The special effects(well, if you call it that) were just pathetic. My cousin's 11 year old son who makes movies has better quality sound effect programs on his computer than this movie! The story line wasn't even that good. The movie was not meant to be funny, but for some reason, I laughed the entire time, especially at the producer's attempt to make believable demon voices. And I think the most ridiculous thing about the movie was the Jesus uniform that the main character wore. I don't think the cross emblem(or anything that signifies Jesus) belongs on people who run around with weapons blowing heads off of demons. That's an hour and half that you'll never get back, so don't waste your time.

I read with sadness the piece by the director. I have to say this is probably the worst movie I have veer seen other than something by Ed wood, that was so bad it was campy. This does not fall into that category. I actually don't get it.. it is so bad acting, writing, effects etc. that it seems almost intentional. If it is not, then my comment as sad, is what I feel for the writer directer, somebody should take this poor guy aside and tell him, go do something else, movies aren't your thing. How he got Danny to be in this movie amazes me.. he is gaining respect as an actor... I don't know..I also can't believe somebody actually put up money real money to make this.. who are theses people.. I have a bridge to sell in Brooklyn.. god..

It is quit clear the 10's in the ratings are fake. This film is just terrible!! The camera work, sound, the acting.....just terrible. Kyle's acting was just a joke. The only positive for this movie is the picture on the front cover.

I wish no one else to waste their time watching this film. I have seen much much better at a local college or University. If it was not for Netflix these films would never see the light of day and nor should they.

I really tried to find more positives, but there are none. Maybe I could try and get wasted and then watch it again, but I feel I would be "wasting" my time.

I watched this because Danny Trejo and Eric Roberts are in it. It's not like these two are master thespians or anything, but I find them likable enough, even in B movies. ("B" as in "low Budget" or just plain "Bad".) Trejo and Roberts have small parts, with screen time probably totaling less than 10 minutes between them. Eric Roberts seems to be sleepwalking, stoned, or both. The rest of the cast are unrelentingly horrible, either chewing the scenery or mumbling like blocks of wood blessed with the gift of speech.

The dialog is stilted, juvenile, and lacks both wit and sense. The plot, involving a secret society of exorcists battling demons, is inane and vacuous. This idea has been done before a few times: Constantine 2005, Hellboy 2004, The Ninth Gate 1999, for example. All of these, although there is not a masterpiece among them, are infinitely better than this poor offering.

The special effects are incredibly bad, something that is pretty hard to achieve with today's cheap computer graphic technology. It is often impossible to tell what is supposed to be going on with all the random flashes of colored light and moving shots of geological formations. The camera work is amazingly unskillful. In one of Eric Roberts' few scenes, he's talking to a priest whose head is out of frame at eye level.

I wish there were something positive I could say about The Cloth. Oh... there is something; it put my wife, who has been suffering from insomnia recently, to sleep.
