Desperate Souls

If you bought/rented this movie, then I have some swamp land to sell you. This movie was a horrible mix of every terrible B-movie made in the last 10 years and the Blair Witch Project.

After watching a trailer, I decided that this movie might be funny horror in the tradition of Evil Dead or Army of Darkness.... how wrong I was.

This movie has SERIOUS holes in the plots. After the first 10 minutes, this movie becomes very difficult to continue watching because of the serious plot flaws. The Anti-hero is basically a bum that lives in a tin shack, yet has a fur coat (wtf!). It makes no sense what-so- ever. Then the Anti-hero meets the other hero character (they don't know each other) Then the next scene they are running around like childhood friends. That is just the beginning of the long trail of inconstancies that will make you want to scratch your eyes out.

I would recommend this movie for film Teachers to use as a tool to show what you don't want to do in a movie.

Desperate Souls is a great example of these sub-par home-made horror movies that the studios buy for dirt cheap, then they like to roll them out around Halloween. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS MOVIE! ! ! ! !

I predict the only people watching this movie are the folks that starred in it.

If IMDb would let me rate it a (-) negative number I would.

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

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.

This movie was created by two young lads who are HUGE fans of cheesy horror films, who had the balls and the will to pursue their dream of making such a movie. With no money, a few credit cards, and the help of friends, they managed to put it all together. And it was picked up and distributed all around north America. So, for all of the people who had nothing but bad things to say about it, rent it again, and watch it in this light. (and maybe, get off your couch and try to create something.) To those who liked it, good for you.

if anybody watched this movie, and liked either the score or the song at the start of the black screened credit roll, then please check out that artist's (colin harringtons) band page on myspace and listen to his new work.
