Land of Smiles - Reise ohne Wiederkehr

It's a waste of time. I watch low-budget films but this story was just crap, somehow. Acting was no different. Like they all just went for a holiday and decided to make a film for fun.

All about Thailand but I think they were also in the Philippines. Couldn't help notice the background voices..

Do not waste your time. This movie is confusing and horrible as f#*k!

Grade A crap!

I had to give it one star because zero isn't an option. Really don't know what to say except what a waste of time, watch a bunch of backpackers on an island in Thailand trying to make a scary low budget B movie. Classified as a holiday adventure would be more accurate. I've no idea what the movie is trying to be or say. Avoid. 0/10

1. Horrible acting. 2. Not scary at all. 3. Story is badly paced and stupid. Don't waste your time on this garbage. It stinks! There's absolutely no redeeming quality about this amateur movie. The clowns were just stupid looking. Just looks awful. Anyone giving this more than one star is obviously benefiting from the production of this badly made film. Probably friends of the cast members. Avoid this movie!

This film infuriated me from the word go, really. I know a lot about low budget filmmaking and I understand that this film is not necessarily the worst low-budget film ever made... but it comes very close. Here are my two main gripes:

1. The acting - absolutely atrocious! From fumbling accents to people who can't cry/look scared properly, the acting in this stinker is all over the place!

2. The clown character in this is NOT menacing at all, with cheap costume, very bad acting (see above) and appalling voice characteristics, this character (who could have worked well) simply flopped.

Now, I am a veteran horror and low budget film watcher, 35+ years experience in watching them, and I have seen many films with HALF the budget of this which have been much better than this (not to mention half the trash that Hollywood spews forth every year).

There's no excuse for this - bad filmmaking that the director should be bloody ashamed of...
