The Waking

This piece of junk may have floated into the new release section of your local rental shop. BEWARE !!!! It is neither silly nor scary nor even cheseey. The movie is very much like the film "Coven" that the guys in American Movie were trying to get finished. Lots of smoke and many local actors featured in black capes and bad walmart halloween masks. Not bad if handled with a wink and a smile by the film maker. Problem here is that this piece of drek was done with a very heavy hand. Way too solem for it's own good. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie at all cost. Do anything...read if you have too............ but stay away from this !!!

Aka "Keeper of souls"

Wish I could give half a star - this must be one of the worst movies, I've ever seen. The actors are awful, the filming is awful, the lighting is awful. Good story though, just a shame, that everything else is Terrible.

Within the first 5 min I was thinking, that this didn't seem like a good movie. I gave it a shot, but after 1 hour I simply gave up, my life is too short to watch the ending - maybe the ending is amazing - i don't know, i don't care. I rarely make reviews but this movie was so bad, that i had to spend some time on warning other people to not watch this movie. Go watch some paint dry instead, I promise you, you will feel your time was much better spent on that :D

I am capable of enjoying most movies; especially when it comes to horror movies. Most movies have either a cute cheesiness, some hot chick, or they might have good (or decent!) and gory make-up. (Come on! That's why you watch these movies!) This movie has nothing. OK, a half-naked girl in the opening sequence, but that's about it. The music is awful, to call the acting crappy is to be kind, and the plot is not even interesting. The special effects are almost absent. There is one action sequence, but we don't get to see much. Even the sound and picture quality reminds one of home-made movies with a handy-cam... made when you were 15! The main characters (played by a pretty chick and the director, a ... er ... not-so-good looking fat bastard) are supposed to be a couple, although it looked rather incestuous: The guy might have been the girl's father, with his big belly, mustache and age. I was cringing in my sofa when I saw them kiss.

I am not going to spend more time dissing this movie. Bad movies can be interesting, but this one isn't at all.

Just forget it.

Other than R.G Armstrong(who played "Franks" one of the Druids in Warlock: Armageddon - a cult fantasy movie from 93) you won't recognise a single person in this movie. Don't get me wrong i'm all for new talent but there's just no original appeal to this at all and it had the unfortunate added touch of reminding me of a Jim Wynorski flick, without the "is it or isn't it a porno" confusion of a first time rental victim.

This isn't even a B-Movie its just a collection of Bad actors talking to each other in that annoying "i know there's a camera in the room" way and running around in the woods for no apparent reason. I don't believe i'm going to actually say this but the Director Tim Card could have actually made this movie better if he'd have shaken the camera a few times and done a close up of some girls nose in a tent...Blair witch was better than this and it was crap...Don't rent it, don't even look at it and yes....i'm a harsh critic, but only because so much crap gets released onto DVD/video these days.

This is, by far, one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life. It wasn't even worth the cost of DVD rental. There was absolutely NO plot as far as I could see and the entire thing looked like it was filmed by some kid with a camcorder. The inconsistencies in the film were so obvious, that it ceased being fun to look for them about 20 minutes into the film. The acting was terrible (and that's putting it kindly.) The special effects were obvious and very poorly done. The scare factor? The only scary thing about this film is that it was NOT actually something a kid with a camcorder did with a group of friends in his or her city as a means of passing the time on a boring day.

Don't waste time on this.. there are so many other films out there to see..
