    bad bad bad

    I have to agree with the other reviews out there, this movie is awful. Bad acting, there is no real storyline (except some weirdly dressed people from the town running around trying to look like witches or magicians or just ugly faces (lol). Although I think the worst of it is the acting. Really, the acting tops it all, some of the worst that I've seen in quite some time and I saw a lot of horror movies already. Anyway I say don't watch it, it's a waste of time and if you made the mistake of buying the DVD or Bluray like I did, it's also a waste of money.

    I think the idea for it is not that bad but the realization of it, well...that sadly went in the wrong direction ;)

    Why? Dear Lord, Why?

    I have seen some bad movies, but this one is right up there at the top.

    If you could sit through this, there isn't anything in the world that you cannot achieve.

    Fails miserably in every aspect there is to making a movie.

    Horrible plot, horrible acting, horrible direction, horrible background score........

    I mean there isn't anything remotely good about this movie.

    Tie a cam around a cat and it would get you some interesting footage.

    Absolute waste of time.

    Want to punish someone? Recommend this movie to them.

    Who edited this mess?!?!

    Segments are clearly out of sequence, random bits of footage pop up for no reason, events are described before they happen, other parts are missing entirely. Obviously this was a salvage job, and not a very good one. Maybe production ran out of money, maybe key people quit(for not getting paid?), but for whatever reason, this was clearly not a complete film and what was there was thrown together with plenty of filler to pad it out to a sell-able run-time. There might have been decent movie in there but it wasn't finished and what was left was an incoherent mess that was thrown onto the market to try to recoup the loss from unsuspecting renters. Shame on the producers.

    One of the worst I've ever seen!

    For those expecting a horror film, this is strictly G-Rated, Nancy Drew stuff with an ending that leaves lots of loose ends. Safe for the kids, though -- absolutely no language, violence, sex, nudity. But playing this for the kids will be worse for them than a time-out. Again, beware of films with an N/A -- that means it was never submitted to the MPAA, which means it went straight to video. Absolute garbage and it's super-low IMDb ranking is well-deserved. Trust me, any good reviews this crud receives was written by someone from the cast, production crew or adoring relatives. Points to anyone who can figure out the plot, which appears to have been made up as the filmmakers went along. You have been warned!

    Failed film!

    I rarely give 1 out of 10.

    This film deserve 0 not 1.

    Plot is not existent, it seemed to me that plot writer never before wrote a plot. What a shame! Acitng is areal disaster, did these actors ever acted before? Most striking of all is that they went and wrote false reviews for this film on IMDb.

    It is the out-most cheater situation. Shame on you! I recommend that you make an effort and find this film and watch it. It is an example how bad films can get. It deserves that award given for the worse film of the year, what is it called The razzies? I think this film is so bad that it would not be nominated even for that award.

    I wish I had something else to add, but it is not worth it.
