This movie was so bad I can't even really call it a movie. The story would be stupid if it even really existed, the script is bad, the effects are bad, the makeup is bad, the sound is terrible. I'd say the acting was awful, but given the material and directing I actually felt sorry for the actors and can't blame them. Every single creative and technical aspect of this movie is awful.

There are two titillating scenes, both involving the Kip character (who is undeniably cute). In the first he goes into the locker room to wash the blood off his back (he fell into it) and ends up doing an erotic look-at-my-body shower scene instead. But at least the story had him in the shower for a reason. Then after he and another character are "posessed" they do another soft-core bondage dance with poor Kip looking terribly bored. Not only wasn't it worth it, but there was no reason for the scene to exist! It made no sense! These comments come from a guy who *loves* bad movies. I had rather low expectations to begin with, and they were not met. Take, for instance, Brotherhood II. It too, was terrible, but in that fun, what a great way to waste some time way that bad movies ought to be.

I can put up with a lot from a movie, especially when my choices have to do with dirty dishes, Real-Trash TV and/or brushing the cat. But this one goes in the pile with "Lethal Target" and the first "Brotherhood" hoodwinker.

My comments concern the VHS version I bought "pre-viewed" for 5 bucks. I wish I could have about 3 of those back.

The first things I noted were through-the-tube voices and high school level acting. Well, I don't expect much acting in a horror movie.

The whole look and feel told me I'd picked up something from maybe as far back as twenty years ago, so imagine my surprise when I saw it was from 2002!

Some of the music didn't fit, though at some point near the end I realized it suddenly was pretty darn good. Throughout the movie I kept wondering when I'd hear some heart-jumping sounds, either music or effects, but they never came.

The rating said something about sensuality. What sensuality? Do they mean the kid showering in his hip-hugger briefs? Or maybe it was supposed to be the leather-clad couple looking as though they were auditioning for porn made by Disney.

I didn't see much in the way of violence, either. If I recall correctly the stabbings were shown in *almost* slow motion, but the camera was cut away to other scenes before any knives hit their marks.

The Plot Summary has nothing to do with what's in the movie, though at the very end we find out that, yes, this is another reincarnation-type thing. At least in the first of these "Brotherhood" movies we know what's going on from the beginning.

And I don't think there was one scream in the entire film. sigh

Much like the others who have left a comment, I fast forwarded through at least 50% of this film. The acting, the plot, and the special effects were all sub-par.

I purchased the DVD in the "bargain bin" at Blockbuster and paid $6.00 for it. I think that I paid $5.00 too much.

I only had two reactions as I watched the movie. The first was knowing exactly what was going to happen next (just a little too predictable), the second was saying, "Huh? That doesn't make any sense?"

The only bright spot in the whole ordeal was Kristopher Turner. I hope that he continues with his acting classes as I think he has the makings of a fine character actor.

One final thing. You see the American flag quite often in the school, yet all of the students seem to have a rather thick Canadian accent.

My rating - a 1/2 star out of 5 stars.

Probably a third of my DVD collection is composed of Horror/Fantasy/Science Fiction movies, with a growing number being direct to video. Some of those direct to video movies are pretty good. "Mimic" is one of my favorites. This one leaves a clear understanding why it never saw a big screen.

There is minimal plot (many good horror flicks have survived this); There is virtually no acting taking place (ok, so the genre isn't noted for Academy Award winning performances); the special effects, if that's what they are to be called, would embarrass an high school stage manager; and, well, there really is not a single thing to recommend this movie. The two most annoying aspects are the almost constant use of a fog machine, day and night, in what is supposed to be a public high school . . . and . . . the excessive use of slow motion which could have been eliminated and would have made this horrible (not horror) movie about a half hour shorter.

Be wiser than I, don't let this thing ever rotate across your optical laser.

I must say I'm amazed that I have spent nearly 82 minutes watching bewildered people walking around through dimly lit corridors of a school frequently illuminated with inexplicable flashes of "lightning." And that's what 90% of this movie is. Boring. Perhaps seeing the first two "Brotherhoods" would have clarified the seeming lack of purpose of this sequel, but I don't believe I want to waste the time to discover if this would help. The only innovative scene was that of a person taking a shower in his underwear. I don't know about you, but that's a first for me.
