  • Bad on every level

    This film lost me 90 minute of my life I can't get back, so I feel the feel the need to warn others. The secret village is one of the worst films I have seen and unfortunately i have seen a lot, but this is one of the films that has prompted me to join IMDb and write a review. 1.The acting is awful the male and female lead in particular were bad 2.The editing was all over the place, couldn't follow the story due to that fact 3. Horrible annoying soundtrack that tries desperately to add suspense too this poor excuse of a film. 4. Cheap make up and costume obliviously bought from fancy dress shop. The director who adds his name to the cover and title of this film and as if he Is so proud should have hidden it at the back in very small lettering, especially if ever wants to direct again. He obviously fancies himself as a M Night type director due too the weak twist at the end but this he is not, $2 million was spent on this and when watching the credits at the end I saw that executive producer was someone with the same surname so obviously a rich relative indulged the writer director with the money to make this mess if a film. Note too that relative please don't indulge him any more spend your money on something more worthwhile. Don't watch this movie and destroy any copies you may see to stop other experiencing what I did.

  • Truly awful

    This is the first review I have ever written for a film but today I have had the pleasure of seeing two of the worst films ever. The taking being one (the other the secret village which I will review next) and feel compelled to warn all. This is truly awful nothing appears to happens there are lots of flashing shots at random things and not a lot of dialogue but the acting somehow still seems to be bad. The make up and costumes obviously came from fancy dress shop saw better at my Halloween party this year and as for the demonic noises very annoying. Please don't waste your time watching this drivel the $ 650,000 spent on it was way to much and would have been better spent elsewhere on something worthwhile. Other reviews say 11 minutes is the point you pause and see what the IMDb reviews have to say I must say I got to 12.58 minutes so I must be a little more tolerant. Please don't watch I wasted my time so you don't have too be warned.
