See How They Run

This might be the very worst film I ever sat through (well to the bitter end). It plays out like a third rate 'Evil Dead' with the most wooden acting and the very lamest special effects. There are just a handful of films I struggle to fined any merit in whatsoever and 'Demon Legacy' is unfortunately one.

The plot was like a weird fever dream, in the worst way, and made little sense. It tried to push too much in the same script. The lines of this film was so bad, especially from the lead's Grandma. I love B-Movies, but this was just terrible.

All the budget for this film was to get John Savage, and AnnaMaria Demara as actors. Who both put in a good effort. But the story was so cliché, and not only had nothing new to add to the horror genre, but it was an Evil Dead knock off.

But so cliché it was dull. There was a lot of nudity for the sake of nudity too. Which I don't mind nudity, but this film was clearly trying to use it to distract from how bad it was. Rather than actually have a story that made sense.

This movie was OK, but not good. The acting was OK, and the story line was descent. While I love sexy sorority girls in horror movies, the movie lacked coherence and a sense of direction and purpose. There were numerous occasions during the course of the movie where it failed miserably to connect the dots. I found myself having to try to connect the dots myself on a board where the dots were scattered like the stars at night. As the movie was drawing to a close, a characters unceremoniously showed up from left field. Trying to make sense where certain characters fit into to the movie as a whole was like trying to hammer a round peg into a rectangular hole. In the end, the movie seems to fall flat like a cake made with no eggs. I rendered it a 4 because an honest effort was made to turn this B horror into a -A horror movie.

I don't care how much an eager actress is jerking her body around, covered in make up and with the camera sped up. If the young lady in question is naked or even just topless then the effect is just humourous. And that pretty much sums up the entire film. Which, if they hadn't tried to play it straight, might have made for an enjoyable schlocky romp. Instead, you just watch disbelievingly as actresses try to deliver lines like "Oh my gosh, there is nothing up here but trees" with a straight face and then sing a "dare song" at each other when the plot needs one of them to do something stupid but the writers couldn't figure out how else to have them do it. And as for the ending ... well, this review doesn't contain spoilers but suffice to say the ending is worse than anything I've already covered. The only thing that stops me from giving this film a 1 is that some of the actresses are really trying very hard. It's just a shame that the rest of the film wasn't worthy of their efforts.

It could have been a good film, but the acting and effects were rubbish. The storyline had the potential to be good, but it failed. The effects were poor though I am amazed at how white the nightie managed to stay. No wonder they changed the name for the UK market.
