1.0 out of 5 stars skip this, please, July 8, 2010

This review is from: The Devil's Curse (DVD)

The Devil's Curse is a horrible film. I can't remember the last time I watched a horror flick that had *zero* suspense and atmosphere. I seriously mean it- NO suspense, NO atmosphere, and nothing remotely interesting about any of it.

A group of college kids spend time in an abandoned building. You could seriously let a raccoon with rabies loose in the building and I'm willing to bet that would offer more in the way of actual fear than what this poor excuse of a film provides.

I simply can't recommend it to anyone. You'd have to be the most desperate person in the world to watch it.

I'm talking about someone who's been on a deserted island for over 15 years and once they came back to civilization, they're absolutely dying to see a horror film more than anything else. That's the only person who'd get any kind of enjoyment out of this crap.

Yes, there's a twist at the end of the movie. That doesn't make up for the other 90% of painful boredom I had to experience.

Please skip it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh., May 12, 2010

This review is from: The Devil's Curse (DVD)

I'll warn you ahead of time. If you are expecting this to be anything other than a cheesy movie, you'll be incredibly disappointed. This is pure cheese, from the "shot in broad daylight" outside lighting to the "mysteriously well lit abandoned building" effects.

The movie follows several attractive college students who decide to spend the weekend at an abandoned building that had a sinister past. As the night wears on, people begin to die one by one as evil stalks their every move. But what exactly is going on? Can any of them survive the night or are they all doomed?

This movie wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. The ending is easily the best part of the movie & I'm honestly tempted to give it 3 stars just because of that. It's just that the rest of the movie dragged on for so long that the movie felt like it was at least an hour longer than it actually was. The movie tries too hard to be the creepy psychological horror film & it kind of killed off some of the fun of the movie- especially the abandoned building part. There just felt like there could have been more done with it. The acting is nice enough & they interact well enough. It just wasn't enough to carry the film.

This isn't something that I would recommend buying unless you've seen it & you know that this is something you want to own. It may be worth a watch for the people who like horror movies, but anyone else would be better off skipping this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Devil's Curse Aka Credo, November 1, 2010

This review is from: The Devil's Curse (DVD)

There is one thing right that is mentioned at the start of the movie but at the same time what is mentioned also plays on people's fears(the point of a horror movie), This movie tries to play a Catholic angle then gets into a What's Going on/Whodunit?, It is boring and when the End comes there is a twist if it can be called that,the only thing correct is Yes Evil Exists but you should never play with it, at least the movie didn't have gore but it fails miserably as a snorefest.
