Was a college acting class exercise filmed and released as a movie? The formulaic posturing and stylized drivel of a "horror" soap opera for people who don't like horror films but wish to be able to tell that friends that, yes, they did see a horror movie. It even features soap opera music.

Do books falling off library shelves scare you? Do doors shutting terrify you? Then this flick is for you. Have you ever been kidnapped? Yeah, most of us have. When you were raped, was it simply ignored, because the rapist was the cool kid? What's scary is not this movie but this filmmaker's view of the world.

And then the little twists aren't even original. This is a film for people who've never seen a horror film before, who don't want to see one now, and who want to see another flick about everyone conspiring against the weird kid.

There has always been a big difference between American horror and Asian horror. American horror is mostly very bloody (slice & dice) or about scary monsters, insects etc. and a bunch of shocking effects that will let you jump out of your chair. But what scares me the most of Asian horror is the intensity of it. It grabs you by the throat and makes you sleep very bad... They start very slow and builds op the fear, which keeps you very alert because you are prepared for a shocking effect. The cinematic quality doesn't meet the standards of the American movies (which mostly have a very large budget...), but it is not the ultimate special effects, or the great performance of actors the makes a movie really worth seeing. I've seen low budget movies that are much much better than blockbusters which have costed millions of dollars. OK very bad acting and a lot of movie mistakes or a really unrealistic script can kill a movie. But if a movie is so intense that you can think of nothing else while watching and it stays in your head the hours or even days after seeing it, I think it is a real good movie, despite of some mistakes or bad cinematic quality... Now about this movie, the reason why I started with this introduction is that I think this movie is really intense. It has some horror effects I recognise in the assign horror movies I've seen (the eye, dark water, Ju-On etc). The cinematic quality is not so good, but the intensity makes up for that. For instance the scene at the library was superb !! If you have seen it you know what I am talking about comparing it to Asian horror...

For me this is what horror is about, not a lot of blood and scary monsters (most of these movies are funny instead of scary) , but so intense that you can feel the fear of the character(s) and let you sympathize with them thinking what you would do in that situation.

If you see this film in the TV listings just ignore it. If you're looking for something scary you'll be better off watching reruns of the X-Files.

Previous comments referencing the incredibly poor acting by the female lead are dead on. She is almost unwatchable. The sum total of her range includes 'whiny and scared' and 'whiny and not scared'.

I am the kind of movie buff who enjoys a good 'bad' movie. But this is ridiculous. There is no direction. The plot is as simplistic as the set of numbers they keep throwing at you and much like that set of numbers, it ends up having no meaning in the end.

Your time will be better spent if you turn off the TV and give your dog a bath.

i hired this movie out from my local movie shop, not really expecting anything to flash or fancy. Since it was a "B" grade movie, made on a very tight budget. The opening scenes of the film were rather original and so was the plot and thats what made me hire the movie out. However the film becomes very boring and frustrating at points. The story had plenty of holes in it and the acting had its fair share of disappointments as well By the end of the film i was praying that a higher power was going to strike me down where i laid as i was extremely bored but more importantly frustrated with how the story turned out. i still don't understand what actually happened and i don't particularly care. in conclusion the devil would cry in disgust to know that Hell (his domain ) was used as a basis for such a crappy film.

11:11 a.k.a. Hell's Gate (2004) is another bad horror movie that tries too hard to be something it's not. A young girl has an imaginary play mate. One day whilst out in the fields playing with her friends, a couple of fugitives visit her parents and whack them off for no apparent reason. The young girl runs off and hides from the bad men. Years later, the girl grows up into a woman with problems. Losers at her school (looking like repressed homosexuals) flaunt their manhood in front of her when she rejected one of them. The girls hate her and life in general is miserable for her. A secret from her past returns to visit her. Who or what is it? Why does everyone hate her? What's her Guardian's problem with her? To find out you'll have to watch Hell's Gate.

The new title makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I don't know why people are given money to make such bad movies. This film is not even good enough to make fun of. It's a head ache inducing mess that'l confuse anyone who tries to make some sense out of it. Not worth your time.

Not recommended.
