The 13th Sign

It's true. If you want to see how NOT to write, direct, shoot, act and produce then this is the film for you! If you do accidently buy under the false pretense that the 'film makers' actually cared about what they wanted to make, then at least you can use the DVD as a frisbee or coaster possibly.

Perhaps, just perhaps, this film was actually meant to be this bad and it's all part of an elaborate practical joke. Or, perhaps not.

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 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

First off, ill start by saying i go to the school (yes it is a school) where this was filmed, so its even more hilarious to see them running for their lives through the shop where i buy chewing gum in the mornings, and killing a 'possessed' villager with the 'please keep off the grass' sign. Secondly, this film is uber, uber cheap, and a laugh to watch, if only because it is so dire, and there are more plot holes and rubbish fight scenes than there are minutes of play. Also, if you read the notes in the extras it says, and i quote, "this film was made to be laughed at, not with." It was crud, it was supposed to be crud, spend a few quid, buy it, and sit up for an hour and twenty minutes laughing your nuts off at it. Plus there are tons of extras which are both genuinely amusing and provide an insight into the horrors of what was left on the cutting room floor.

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.
