Long Time Dead

Synopsis : After a night filled with dancing, drugs and drinking, a group of British students decide to gather around a Ouija board to see what happens. After breaking the circle early, they summon DJINN, a fire demon and one by one they begin to disappear. What will they be able to do to stop the Djinn?

Overview : A pretty decent movie for being direct to video.

*Atmosphere : Definetly revolves around the club scene. I was starting to feel a bit old but paid no mind and waited for the killings! Big tip I got from this movie; don't mess with a Ouija board when you have been taking numerous drugs in one evening. *Pace : About average, not too slow, not too fast. Story progressed good.

*Cast/Characters : Fresh new faces from the London circuit, except for familiar face of Lucas Has. All grown up but still looks 12. Acting skills were good from everyone, I was shocked! *F/X : A bit campy for the movie (at least DURING the killing scenes) but the end result was definitely worth it. Gotta love a demon who kills with fire! *Story/Plot I am a sucker for a story that revolves around a Ouija board (because they freak me out) so I felt the story was really was done.

Jekyll's Thoughts : It was definitely a fun movie that ranks higher than most direct to video movies. It gets a decent 3 out of 5 star rating from me. If you see it at your video store, check it out.

This movie started off quite boring but it soon got very scary, and by scary i mean good too. I liked it very much...

I couldn't help reading one of the posts to this movie where some stupid guy said that British horror movies are no good and jeepers creepers from USA is a lot better... i sooo disagree with him... ok, hollywood makes a lot of quality movies but check out the british too..

If you like this movie i recommend also "My Little Eye".

4/5

This movie is a great choice for cheap scares and hell of a lot of plot holes. This is the story of some friends who after raving their ass off in a cool factory start looking for a real rush and find it on playing ouija board, well

something breaks loose and starts taking them one by one. It sounds like a usual "Scream" scenario doesn´t it! Well, as it turns out in the end it really was another scream franchise, Although it had great moments in it, specially the ouija playing scenes are so good and one involving a dead corpse and a hiding person, suspense is a good one for this movie, if you are a nervous kind of person you´ll be on the edge of your seat all the time, if you are a genere fan then you´ll have a better time than watching "Eight leggen freaks" that really sucked big time. The ending is so cheesy i was about to puke, Cool movie i´ll give it an 8 out of 10, check it out.

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

Set and shot in Britain,LTD would be pretty indistinguishable from being shot in Hollywood.It's a horror thriller about a oujia board that works thanks to some nifty camera work,a jolty score and some rather grisly effects.And all at a running time of just an hour and a half.This is overall an intriguing and original premise,and while maybe not as delivering as it could have been,should be checked out,maybe with the aid of a speaker sound system.***

The attempt to bring the ouija board theme to a movie sounds good idea, and the first 10 minutes are kind of scary. There was so much potentinal at the beginning of the movie, sadly it fails. The plot is nothing new, it couldn't scare even if taken seriously, the directing is good at some point, but as we can't see the "djinn" until the end we can't get scared in the death scenes. The good thing about the movie is the acting, and I could say the effective score. The ending is quite good that's all I can say about it.

"Long Time Dead" is recommended for recent fans of the horror genre, even though it failed to promote the horror genre of the new century. Watch it for some fun!
