Greek Fire - Demon Spirit

Do not waste your time with this. It was drawn out and boring. They tried and I commend them for it, but it was just so bad.the acting, the sound, all of it. I swear the tree frog audio was making me want to stab a ice pick through my ear!

Using a mix a textures and style the film takes us on journey revealing spirits trapped by a powerful demonic force. Shot as a narrative but also using found footage and flashbacks the story is revealed as the ghost investigators discover that domestic violence transcends the spirit world. Worth a view or two.

I have watched plenty of low and no budget movies in my time, but the easiest way to summarize this movie is: "How the hell does it have a >7 star review? JUST HOW???"

I can forgive the plot holes in the story, most likely written by one person or a very small group of writers. The story can be easily forgiven as long as it has some interesting concepts to hold interest: this is maybe sort of there if you look REALLY REALLY hard?

The acting is pretty bad, which is expected of low/no budget movies. This is easily overlookable for anyone that isn't expecting someone thats not A-tier talent to have good, consistent acting. The acting isn't the worst I've seen but its far from good.

The video editing is probably the best part of the movie, shots that seem like they should make sense although they are maybe not quite where they should be. It feels like a young editor trying their best with what they have to work with and honestly i can say that they did the best they probably could with it.

All of this leads to the absolute worst part of the whole movie: The audio.

The volume levels and gain are totally inconsistent even from one shot in the same scene to the next. There are plenty of high priced audio equipment and i understand the budget probably wasn't there, but there are cheaper alternatives that could have worked better. Parts of this movie (like every scene when they're in the car) sound like they were recorded by one of the actor's phones placed at the bottom of a pringles can.

I wouldn't just give this a low rating, i would rate it as utterly unwatchable and say that anyone looking at these reviews before watching the movie has already wasted more time than they should for this movie.

I'm not sure how some of these movies get rated. I'm an avid watcher of movies of this genre and the rating this movie received was out of line... Not only was it the most generic of all horror movies but the transitions were disjointed, the story did not line up in a fluid way and information was dumped at irregular intervals that were slower paced than any viewer would pick up on what would happen next. The acting was poor and there were so many holes in the way the characters reacted to the story it was annoying to watch. I understand it's a low budget movie, but I've seen low budget movies that were written better and had less attempts at cgi that were more enjoyable to watch.

I have no idea how anyone could rate this movie higher than a one star. The acting is so bad, it is painful. The last half of the movie is clearly shot on a green screen because the actors have a halo of light around them and it's the same room picture as the background. They used up all their money in the beginning obviously and the special effects suffered.

Please don't waste your time watching, my forehead hurts from all the facepalms that occurred while I suffered through.
