The Rizen: Possession

How best to describe this film? How about confusing? Although most of it consists of two distinct groups of people walking around in the dark getting picked off by zombie-like creatures, there have been similar films that score well, but this one fails at every level. Is it science fiction or occult? A bit of both, apparently, and with more background it might have warranted damning with faint praise. Sadly, there is more background. Although it isn't entirely clear from the dialogue, this is actually a sequel. The first film is even worse.

I STILL have NO idea what I just watched! I mean it had some frightening moments, but for the most part didn't make much sense to me. Seems to be 2 points of view, 1 from the Military Squad, and the other from the kid explorers, and neither make much sense!

This is a sequel - there is another Rizen this follows up on - so no pun intended. You do not really have to see the previous movie, but if you do, you will see the connection(s) ... no pun intended here either. The movie looks a lot better than the other movie. The acting is also way better overall. Script seems to be tighter too.

What is missing (if you want to call it that), is the silly humor the first movie had. The action steps it up though - and we have two stories interconnected. If you have a heart for low budget Science Fiction Horror movies - you could do far worse than this. I dug it and have to admit, with the limited budget and the location restrictions ... this is quite well done.

If you were strapped to a chair with your eyes forcibly open (like Alex in "A Clockwork Orange") then you would have an excuse for seeing (not watching) this movie. Please Mr. Mitchell, stop writing/directing movies; or, if you find it impossible to control your urge, at least share with us how you obtain financing so that some worthy filmmakers can off-set this drivel with their work.

I can't lie I watched this for the British cop guy and it felt like he was on for 2 seconds other than that is was just really bad and felt like it was written by year 9 media studies students. The plot was all over the place and felt rushed and the acting was just abysmal and I would rather watch paint dry than this boring codswallop again. There were about 2 scenes where I was sort of invested but I lost interest after 3 seconds. I had not even heard of any of the actors here before watching and i'm glad for that and wish to never see them again after that godawful eyesore. When the dreadful film finally ended I was in tears. Not because the movie was good, because i realised i had spent my precious time wasted on this crap. I would rate it zero but that isn't possible. AVOID THIS FILM!!!
