Desperate Souls

The title "DESPERATE SOULS",is what drew me to watch this movie.I had some difficulty following the story line but the movie flowed well and kept my interest going right till the end.Guess that could be a bonus.If you understand the plot too well it could make for a boring movie. This movie is anything but boring. With the dry humor to the fight scenes, it was GOOD! I thought the filming, the direction, the angle shots were way above average for a film with a low budget. These guys knew what they were doing and did achieve it. If this movie had top name actors it could have made it to the big screen. Very professional and high end quality. I scored this movie on the high end because the overall product is better than some movies i've scene in this genre....and yes, 100% better than the Blair Witch in my opinion.I liked it!

I don't remember hearing about this movie going to theaters. So when I chanced upon it in the New Release section of blockbuster and read the back "An ancient druid book of unspeakable power has survived for centuries, protected by the dark shadows of the natural world. etc.." I thought this movie would be good no doubt about it. Well. the premise is good. The actual movie however is horrid. The actors (if you can call them that) are pretty much on par with Napolean Dynamite (not in a funny way, in an bad emotionless way). You will find yourself thinking "Is he scared, or is he just cold". Aside from the acting, or lack thereof, the movie appears to have been filmed with a home video recorder. Even then, it would make you wonder if you yourself could have created a better movie with that recorder you've got stored in the garage. I believe the movie could have had promise had it been done by a major production company. Overall, this movie receives a 1.

this is one truly awful--i hesitate to use the word--movie.it's very low budget,which isn't always a bad thing.the real problem with this movie is the abysmal acting,which overshadows everything.the story is stupid also.i have seen better high school plays,i kid you not.i didn't make it any where near the end of this movie.it just got to the point where i couldn't take it anymore.i felt sure my head would explode if i watched another microsecond.just because you have a camera and some friends to appear in in front of said camera,doesn't mean you are making a movie.i don't know what this was,but movie doesn't describe it.this is just my opinion,and some people may have fun with how awful it is,but i thought it was beyond that point.this turkey gets a very well deserved 0/10

This movie was absolutely awful - bad acting combined with way too many showy camera shots, and a storyline that was hard to follow and made very little sense. I only watched through to the end with hope for something good, but was disappointed when the film came up with nothing redeeming to end the movie with. There was either overacting or underacting, and nothing was consistent. And the lines that were trying to be funny just didn't belong. The opening shots made the movie appear to be interested, but it was only a letdown from then on. I do not recommend this movie unless you are a film student looking for what not to do when making movies. This looked like the work of an overzealous film student.

Now mind you, I love horror movies. The adrenaline rush from being scared is a high for me, but I also love horrible horror movies, and this one, had me laughing the entire night. When I read the back I knew it had to either be very good, or very bad and the fact that the actors were trying to be serious the entire time, had reminded me quite a bit, of the first Evil Dead. Once I began to watch it, I thought, the idea of the movie and the plot really was an alright idea, but the director just didn't have enough sense to know it wasn't going to work. Though this movie isn't scary at all, at least your entertained one way or another.
