A Secret Handshake

I have never been fired up enough to make a comment on IMDb but after watching this movie I just could not help myself. This film (if you can call it that) is easily the worst travesty in cinematic history and believe me I have seen some bad movies in my time. There is only one reason for anyone to ever watch this film and that is if they are having trouble sleeping as it knocks you out faster than an elephant tranquiliser.

I implore anyone that is considering renting this movie to spend an hour and half doing something more fun with their time (like castration or dinner with the mother in law) Shot for under $500,000 (I would guess it was shot for under $100) the acting is non-existent and at the end of the film I was still looking for a plot. In short anyone that had a hand in making this film should do the industry a favour and quit before they torture the public with more of this tripe.

I did not understand this movie at all. While I was watching, I was trying to explain what is happening. I reached a point while watching that I thought there is just no explanation at all. Is it voodoo magic? then played by who and why. Split personality, drugs etc..

I said to myself if this movie is the type of movie that can show you anything and at the end, it leaves you with no explanations and so open ended, then this is a bad movie and is a complete waste of time to watch.

It has a single scary moment that made my hair stand, which gives the movie some credit, otherwise, avoid this movie if you like logical movies that make sense.

OK, I decided to give this one a go just in case it turned out to be a decent film; though I'm not sure how such misleading comments happen to find their ways to the frontpage of many movies I an curious about, most seem written by someone involved with the film. Anyway, onto the film.

Footage was downright grainy, though the sound quality wasn't too bad, there for a while I thought I was watching something from the 70's. The acting wasn't too bad, though I have to venture to guess the lead role was probably the writer of the script (his acting was the worst). The script was quite disjointed, and many times you'll find yourself asking "Just what the Hell is going on." Even by the end of the movie there are a lot of holes. Some writers try to get away with doing this by saying that it's up to the viewer to fill in the holes with their own ideas; I say that's just a load of crap.

You can get an idea of what the movie is about simply by reading the plot summary; you won't get too much more out of the movie itself, though it did have some strange points. What would I compare this film to? How about a mix between Primer and The Attic Expeditions (awesome flick, much better than this one. Check it out!!!), some movie it isn't like are: Crash, Identity, Unknown, etc.; it wants to be like these but falls short. I will give it a few thumbs up because it kept me fairly interested and it did pick up toward the end, though nothing is really explained.

Bottom Line: Not bad, but could have been done much better for the same cost. How about bringing some of the plot threads together so the audience isn't totally confused, you lose them that way.

i watched a little bit of this bad movie. it seems like someone with no skill made it in there basement with a small camera worth 25 cents.

this movie sucks renting it for a weekend watching is like giving your weekend away. it has a bad plot a bad beginning and bad actors every one in it seems as though there just trying to get into the industry. truly if the people in this movie ever make it any where. when gossip shows look back at there career this will be a sad point in it. i wouldn't even want my name on this movie im sorry for those whos name is on it.

This movie was t e r r i b l e! The acting was...*shudder*. And that's a shudder in a bad way FYI. The receptionist at Jacob's workplace was probably the best act in the entire film. Jacob's relationship with his hot, young wife is far from believable, and the "scary, suspenseful" scenes made me laugh out loud. The love scenes looked like something from a softcore porn channel (oh yes, I know)

Better acting can be found in the Incident in Lake County.

If I could bash this movie any more, I would. I just lack the vocabulary, grammar, and time

*shakes head*
