Lord of the Light

This movie is fantastic plain and simple. Any horror and action fan would agree. The casting of Brad Dourif was perfect. I don't know who could have played a better evil doer and the character Mathias is one that Brad was destined to play. His voice is just chilling. The casting of newcomer Jordan Matthews was spot on. Not only does the guy have a menacing look, but the fight scenes are brilliant, bloody, and epic. The delivery is tantamount. If i could ever be in a movie or a lead in a film this would be it. I was initially put off the idea of the movie as i have heard an awful lot of comparisons to Twilight and have read a lot of hype about that specifically, but this is so distinctly different. The only comparison is the romance between the two leads, which isn't nearly as stressed, nor is it as interesting as the battles scenes. The last fight scene between Jacob and Mathias is sick and cool. The only problem is I wished it lasted longer. I want to see this on the big screen because I fear that I will be at a serious loss if it only comes down to watching the DVD....which I have now watched 3 times in succession, ever since my visit to my cousin's home in London. My own personal opinion is that a movie should suspend disbelief, capture the imagination which this does in spades. it is truly a film that you can lose a couple of hours watching and at the end feel like you have spent a worthwhile couple of hours. I would recommend this to anybody.

I was duped into watching this film by some of the good reviews I read. They are false. I was expecting a 'made for cable' 2nd rate quality movie. This thing is 4th rate. The Pro's are that it is in English and does not require subtitles. The background music is tolerable. The credits were displayed in an attractive font. The actors appear to know their lines, and the crew members do not walk into the scenes.

Aside from that, this film is about as bad as you can get without being so bad that it is funny in an ironic way.

Don't waste your time. Do not believe any reviews over 2 stars. I wish I knew of something equally bad to compare it to, but I cannot remember the last time I saw something this bad.

I really struggled to watch this movie from start to finish as it was nothing more than cliché dancing over clichés and, matched only with the continuous bad hammy acting.

Might be great for the kids or 1, but I doubt it as I'm convinced they have at least a modicum of sophistication.

The concept, brilliant. I cannot not fault, the acting and choreography I can.

If I could get away with returning my DVD and claim my refund I would. Its that dire. I only paid £7.00 and even that was way to much.

I would like to say it belongs within the B movie rank and file, but alas, its not even that good.

There... I think I've given a clear picture of not liking the movie!

"My best friend just died, you come out of nowhere, and those things..." Fourteen years after the death of his wife and daughter Michael (Nichols) is forced to revisit the past. When his niece finds a necklace she is attacked and saved by a strange man named Jacob. Soon after, mysteries and secrets are revealed. This is a movie that is for hardcore fans of vampire/demon/zombie type movies. I say that because in order to be able to make it through you have to be fascinated by this type of genre. The acting is horrendous and so distracting that I found it very very difficult to make it through. This is too serious to be a comedy, but not enough to be taken seriously. I was not impressed by this at all, but again, for fans of this type of movie you may like this. Overall, this was almost impossible for me to make it through, but I have never really been all that into this type of movie. I give it a D.

I watched this movie in hope i would spend a pleasant 1 hour and a half of my Sunday...i regret my decision.The effects wore poor, like the movie was made in some 3rd world country.the story is ambiguous you don't get many details about the past of the characters, and I had the feeling that even the actors didn't put much work into this movie.The idea however was pretty good and they could've made more from that if it had more work put into it

In conclusion everything is bad about this movie and I wrote this review in hope that nobody has to go trough the same 1 hour and a half of agonizing pain that i did.
