Light from the Tower

41 reviews
1/10

The worst movie I've ever seen.

When I saw this, it had a 9.6 and 200 reviews. It now has a 9.0 and 400 reviews, which I hope continues to drop, as I believe the rating must have been fraudulently boosted by the cast's friends. The film is worse than even every amateur films I've seen. It's not even amusingly bad.

Avoid at all cost

This movie is a joke. Bad acting, poor lighting, the scenes are incoherent. It is worse than a school project. I finished the whole movie so i can find out how bad the movie is. The is absolutely the worst movie on the planet. I don't know how it gets high rating.

Horrible. This movie is an horror, not because it's scary, but because it's hauntingly bad.

I tried as much as I could, but I can't find anything, anything good about it. Bad acting, tragic lighting, stupid plot, dumb ending. The positive ratings must have been bought from bot accounts, I can't explain it. Don't waste your time, trust the other comments.

Not the worst indie I've seen, but it sure seemed to try

This movie at moments seemed to find its feet, just to stumble into the next scene again. The beginning was terrible, you can skip the first 5 minutes and miss almost nothing aside from opening credits, and it doesn't get much better for quite awhile, even after things to start to happen. Once you wade through the first half of the film, it does improve a tiny bit, but really not enough to redeem itself in any way.

Now that the cast has voted....

Currently this garbage is still 7.7 stars, really!? Now that the cast has voted, lets bring this movie to the rating it truly deserves. People acting to be actors, poorly. 1/2 into this, I asked myself why am I punishing myself? I guess I was looking for something, ANYTHING, to show me why this has a 7.7 rating. And this shouldn't be in the Horror category, It's drama all the way.

5 reviews currently, and all at 1 star.

As Bad as a High School Student Film

Please do not believe all the 9's & 10's. I really hate it when the crew tries to make a terrible movie look great. This was beyond amateurish, on level with student films you see online. Acting was from people who acted like they were never in front of the camera before and could barely remember their lines. I think the movie they were trying to make would have been much better than this. If you ignore this warning you will lose an 1:15 you will never get back.

Garbage!

This was the most total waste of time and energy I've ever seen trying to pass itself off as a legitimate film A total waste of time for both the people who made this "film" and the audience!.

Giving a 2... for 2 be kind.

I reserve 1 scores for the very worst of the worst, and while this isn't that, it comes close. I am okay with low budget films, and amateur films, but they still have to be somewhat good. This movie fails at that. It has mostly pretty terrible acting, plot, script, character development, directing, lighting, continuity, and, well, just everything. As a ''horror'' it fails so badly at creating suspense and believable peril that at best our emotions drift to boredom, and as a drama, which is what I think it secretly wants to be, it is dragged down by such bad acting it fails there too. It doesn't even stoop so low as to become a satire of itself, so we are even cheated of any possible humorous cult value.

I don't want to be completely down on it. I ALMOST wanted to give it a three. I feel it was taken somewhat seriously by the participants, and for a couple of the characters... the two younger female leads, and one male cast member, there are brief glimmers that with a lot more effort and a much better project they MIGHT one day shine. Regrettably that day still seems very distant.

Oddly, they got a pretty good score for the opening and closing sequences... this was a surprise, and along with the establishing sequence, even gave, for the first few minutes, a brief hope that I was going to find a diamond in the rough. In the end, though, it was not a diamond, or even an agate: it was just the worst kind of rough.

I didn't pay to watch this film but I want my money back!!!

It was one of the most terrible movies I've ever seen in my life! The plot was ridiculous. The acting was awful. There were scenes where inside the house was day and outside was night (really bad editing). There were problems with the sound. It was complete and utter bull****. Do NOT waste your time watching this. I don't usually rate so low, but if there was -10 this movie should get it.

10 star

The studios aren't dropping anything so rather than actually allow independents to succeed they send trolls to do 1 star reviews. This film actually wasn't half bad by the way!

Good

Maybe the problem that all the one star reviews have is that they are watching this film on tiny screens. Because on my 75 inch this indie looks INCREDIBLE!

This is a 4 star film....at best. Really!

This is not a horror movie ( and certainly not even remotely akin to The Shining)

This is a movie made on a $10,000 budget. That's roughly 50% of the problem.

It would have potential, if it had a sizable, workable budget.

The day interiors/night exteriors added a....uniqueness, and left me wondering.

I want more.....a lot more.

The trailer say it all

I know don't judge a book by its cover" but you can tell how poorly the acting is just watching the trailer. I don't understand why some people choose a profession if they don't like it, because of the money? Then make an effort, Some people may say, well they have to start from somewhere, but these people are adults, for cry out loud, not teenagers. I rate it a 2 since I haven't seen it. I already read the plot and saw the trailer, that's good enough.

Waste of Time

Hard to put this movie in any specific category as it wasn't funny, scary, thriller, sci-fi, romance.....I suppose it could be called a mystery cause I had no clue what the hell was going on or why I should care. Irritating and unlikable characters, bad acting, and did I mention there's no discernible plot to speak of...? Thank the lord I didn't pay good money for this. Yuk.
