The Edict

God I couldn't wait for this aural and visual torture to end.

Although the film conjures up atmosphere it has to be said using some decent sound effects, unfortunately there is very little story or development of the "horror" element and the overwhelming loudness of the sound mixing obscures the dialogue which means you have to turn the volume up and the crazy screeching sound they use as an ominous sound effect just becomes wearing, tedious and annoying!

Couple that to virtually nil storyline; nothing really happens - a bit of a case of all mooth and nae action and bad acting from virtually every cast member this is a cinematic landmine to avoid if you dont want to be bored out of your skull!

The Edict reminds me of a lot of the 80s horror movies I watched growing up. The scares come not from special effects or cheap tricks but from creating an environment that makes the viewer uncomfortable throughout, and reinforces it with well timed payoffs. What the film lacks in budget it makes up for in originality and ambition. Recommended for horror fans.

Liked the beginning with the Eph 6 Quote.... If the opening actually connects with the rest of the film it might get a Star!!! Oh and nope. Never saw the connect.

-1 Star For too much annoying as hell sound in the First 10 minutes.....

-1 Star they keep playing that annoying sound throughout the movie I suppose that sound is supposed to indicate that some effect is happening to people in the movie, but the sound isn't affecting people in the movie. The sound is only annoying the hell out of anyone viewing the movie. I'm failing to see the logic of this.

-1 Star For the Annoying Noise again as we move towards the end of the movie. And you just have to play this loud obnoxious noise again so the audience knows something horrible is happening? Again and Again and Again, it is so annoying

Oh wow there was a scene near the end where something happened and they didn't play the annoying sound. I almost didn't know what to do with myself.....

Oh NO I spoke too soon! There it went again!!!

That was pretty bad. That's one I really cared nothing about and obviously was more annoyed with it than anything else.

I see basically one guys name in the end credits for making the movie, Mark Cross. Well Mark your movie was bad.

The horrible ear piercing sound effect is too much. I had to shut this off, it was making me sick.

This movie has nor original thought, the plot line has used been used countless times and had so may holes in it. The acting was wooden with long pauses in the dialogue, and the "mood" noise used was similar to a smoke alarm going off - just irritating, like the rest of the production.
