Charlie Charlie

A haunted house attraction isn't generating revenue so they try a new angle with people playing Charlie Charlie instead. This game is a Mexican Ouija board sort of with two pencils balanced on each other forming a cross. You then ask Charlie yes or no questions. Five young adults play the game unleashing the Mexican demon.

This film is by the far the worst I've seen. The whole setup is just crap. I don't know who would pay twenty bucks to stack two pencils and watch them spin but that's just me. Charlie is always an unseen force (a blue laser light sometimes) that goes around killing everyone. The score is ripped from Full Moon's films and the acting is crap. This thing makes no sense and the ending didn't help.

Looks like a film school project. At least production values are passable. Well lit, sound adequate, pacing works. Passing grade for class project, but unacceptable as a commercial release.

I decided to watch this movie based on a IMDb score well over 6. I figure now that this was some sort of mathematical anomaly caused by the entire cast, crew and their families getting on and scoring it 10. I'm scoring 1 to try and help get to the 3 it richly deserves.

I won't bore you to death - I allow the movie to do that for me - but among the reasons you should skip this rancid pile of feline excrement are:

1. editing - not bad - looks like what a child who was short of time and didn't understand the role of editing is in a movie would approach it - numerous times when we see the same scene cut together but overlapping shots - e.g. the tallest of the muppets roped into acting places things into his hat, then cut, and he's then asking the other people in the shot for the objects he's just put in his hat... 2. continuity - a guys gives someone his jacket - throughout the balance of the movie we see him with the jacket on, without the jacket on - needless to say this goes with the person he gave it too as well... 3. acting - clearly not something the humans in the movie were trained. 4. script - there are scenes that make no sense - an entire story line of two people in a car that has nothing to do with the story. 5. special (and i mean "special") effects - a child with a free ap from itunes would find something that could create better special effects...

all in all - one of those movies you hate yourself for watching - and then run to IMDb to give it a review in the vain home that maybe this will justify it.

it didn't.

6.4 IMDb? Really..!?? I am a true horror genre fan, but this was absolutely unwatchable, terrible acting, I tried to watch it for 10 minutes, then I realised it was getting even worse, so I started to fast-forward it just to see if there is something interesting about it. Believe me, there's not! Keep away and don't waste your time...

The movie is suspiciously titled as Ouija 3 and I thought it was another chapter in that movie series. That wasn't the case. Instead we are given a movie with poor acting performances, bad direction, weak story, and laughable production quality. The editing wasn't that bad and the music was a hit-or-miss at different points. I did however like the makeup job on the clown. Nicely done! Altogether though this movie was not worth my time.
