The 13th Sign

I wrote a review of this movie further down after buying it on DVD and being sorely disapointed.

I tried watching it again after reading a few of the comments made since then. Being a film student and making similar budgeted movies myself (ie no budget, shot on digi cam), I stand by my original comments. This is a no budget student project (and not a particularly good one), released on video/dvd to look like an award winning film (if you read the cover). So deceving the public into thinking it's something it's not. I want my money back under the trades description act! Complete Rubbish!

I bought and watched this film with no expectations. Once I had watched the film I wasn't sure how I felt about it, It wasn't over the top blood and guts nor was it testing the grey matter to much, what it was though was one hell of a good attempt, the story is funny in parts gory enough in others. People seem to be forgeting that this was their first attempt, most people haven't even got the guts to try that first film. And seeing as it was all self funded the results are great, Instead of shooting them down in flames before they have even took off why dont people get behind them and give them support for the future, all I hear is people moaning about how few movies are made over here. Give the guy a break

dont ever ever ever consider watching this sorry excuse for a film. the way it is shot, lit, acted etc. just doesn't make sense. it's all so bad it is difficult to watch. loads of clips are repeated beyond boredom. there seems to be no 'normal' person in the entire film and the existence of the 'outside world' is, well, it just doesn't exist. and why does that bald guy become invincible all of a sudden? this film is beyond stupidity. zero.

Not only being in the horror genre I am also a big fan of old school goth. Due both reasons I picked up this movie. Carl McCoy from Fields Of The Nephilim was involved in this movie. First of all, he was the voice of the evil spirit, second, a song from the Fields appeared on the credits, Darkcell. Carl once played an important role in Hardware which was a good movie but here it's back to square one. The story itself is okay but the movie is a bit boring. Cheap effects are used to cover the low budget. It never becomes frightening or scary and it fails in so many ways. There's a lot of talking and weird things going on, like the special hand, Mad Max style. A shame that this project wasn't worked out better, it would have given us a better 'sign'.

I bought this while I was playing chess in Hastings. I am from Denmark though. It is very good. Definitely with an understanding of the horror genre. The monster towards the end is very scary. People who criticize this on IMDb should recall that it was a huge success among serious horror critics. Anyway, I really love horror movies and this one is good fun. Especially jump-scares tend to be interesting in horror movies. It seems a show like Fear Factor is more disgusting than scary but this movie really is scary and I like that in horror. It is made on a low budget for sure but still a very powerful movie. I am really a dedicated horror fan and I like imagination in movies. Horror seems to be very imaginative. Horror today seems a bit boring but it has been an important genre for a long time.
