This movie started off quite boring but it soon got very scary, and by scary i mean good too. I liked it very much...
I couldn't help reading one of the posts to this movie where some stupid guy said that British horror movies are no good and jeepers creepers from USA is a lot better... i sooo disagree with him... ok, hollywood makes a lot of quality movies but check out the british too..
If you like this movie i recommend also "My Little Eye".
4/5

LONG TIME DEAD
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1
Sound format: Dolby Digital
During a Ouija session, several drunken teenagers summon a djinn which proceeds to kill them, one by one.
Though clearly influenced by American horror movies, LONG TIME DEAD finds an echo in Michael Armstrong's UK thriller THE HAUNTED HOUSE OF HORROR (1969), in which bored teenagers inadvertently sparked the wrath of a deadly killer - in Armstrong's film, the villain was an all-too-human maniac, whereas Marcus Adams' updated version unleashes the forces of supernatural terror on its hapless protagonists. Alec Newman (from the TV remake of DUNE) is the unofficial leader of the group, whose father (Michael Feast) was involved in similar jiggery-pokery many years earlier, leading to several deaths witnessed by Newman as a child.
The movie opened in UK theaters to scathing reviews and dismal box-office, and while the artless, multi-authored screenplay wanders aimlessly from scene to scene (the curse of so many modern horror films), it isn't nearly as bad as various reviews have suggested. Performances are uniformly fine (particularly Newman as the damaged young man forced to come to terms with his father's terrible legacy, and former soap star Joe Absolom as a potential victim), and Adams stages the various set-pieces with brisk precision, building to a fiery showdown between Newman and the unstoppable monster. The narrative makes little sense, but the movie is efficient and watchable, and amounts to passable popcorn entertainment, nothing more or less.

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs
Set and shot in Britain,LTD would be pretty indistinguishable from being shot in Hollywood.It's a horror thriller about a oujia board that works thanks to some nifty camera work,a jolty score and some rather grisly effects.And all at a running time of just an hour and a half.This is overall an intriguing and original premise,and while maybe not as delivering as it could have been,should be checked out,maybe with the aid of a speaker sound system.***

I am surprised at the mixed views on this film. Reading the back cover I knew it was a gamble but it paid off.
I watched it without any hype or recommendation, and thought it was a pretty good film.
Someone rated it 2/10. Has this person seem some of the rubbish horror films in the video store.
I thought the acting was very good. A welcome relief from some of the American garbage.

This movie is a great choice for cheap scares and hell of a lot of plot holes. This is the story of some friends who after raving their ass off in a cool factory start looking for a real rush and find it on playing ouija board, well
something breaks loose and starts taking them one by one. It sounds like a usual "Scream" scenario doesn´t it! Well, as it turns out in the end it really was another scream franchise, Although it had great moments in it, specially the ouija playing scenes are so good and one involving a dead corpse and a hiding person, suspense is a good one for this movie, if you are a nervous kind of person you´ll be on the edge of your seat all the time, if you are a genere fan then you´ll have a better time than watching "Eight leggen freaks" that really sucked big time. The ending is so cheesy i was about to puke, Cool movie i´ll give it an 8 out of 10, check it out.
