THIRTEEN HOURS?, November 12, 2006
This review is from: 13 Seconds (Old Version) (DVD)
While watching 13 SECONDS, it felt more like thirteen hours; the movie is pretty dull. It's one of those indie faves where writer/director/star Jeff Thomas tries esoteric camera angles with atrocious lighting to try and create an atmosphere of terror. The acting is so terrible and the script so contrived and confusing, the movie just sits there like a ripe avocado and does nothing. The characters are so cardboard, I couldn't keep up with their names or just how they interacted. Really a bomb, avoid.

I wish there was a negative star rating., November 19, 2005
This review is from: 13 Seconds (Old Version) (DVD)
If I could meet the actors and director, screenwriters, person who decided to market this peice of crap in real life I would slap them and ask for my 7$ back. DO NOT BUY this. I wont even use the DVD as a coaster. It's going down as the all time worst movie I have ever seen, and I didnt even see 20 minutes of it.

?????, February 13, 2007
This review is from: 13 Seconds (Old Version) (DVD)
If you bought a gun from walmart loaded it up and pointed it at five random strangers and said "make a movie NOW or ill kill you!!!' then this would probably be it. A movie made by people with no talent and no desire to make it. You cant tell me these people actually cared about the product they were making. The AOL voice you hear when you sign out "goodbye" from the internet has 10 times more personality than anyof these guys. I mean not everyone is going to be the next robert deniro, but it doesnt take a lot of effort to atleast display some emotion. The only explanation i could think of was that they went the toxic avenger route and intentionally made the movie bad. But it wasnt filmed like a campy horror comedy, it was filmed like it was a serious film but right before the movie began shooting, someone killed off all of their families and they had no desire to live anymore. But i cant say all negative things about this movie. this movie gives hope to everyone who watches it. how you ask, cause if these guys got this movie made, then so can everyone else. so if you get fired from your job or something, and you have nothing left to live for, just grab a camera phone and start filming away, it can't get much worse than this.
I just thought of something. what if this movie was so well made and that the people who made this movie were so brilliant that it just seems to suck to us because our feeble minds are not capable of comprehending the awesomeness of this film?
