Gehenna: Where Death Lives

Just finished watching this and I have to admit, I quite enjoyed it.

It's not scary in the slightest, it's also not brilliantly acted, the script is pretty simple and you guess their predicament about 20 minutes into the movie but it looks pretty and the storyline isn't just a rehash of typical horror movies.

The characters are actually quite well portrayed, and also fairly likeable too except the baddie in it but you'd expect nothing else and his reaction at the end of the movie was pretty satisfying.

It reminded me a lot of Dyatlov Pass (which is a found footage movie, this one isn't) which I also enjoyed.

I've given this 7 stars, it's actually about 6.5 but thought I'd be generous rather than mark it down.

This movie should have been 45 minutes long. Much of the movie was "atmosphere," meaning way too many dark/black screens with limited dialogue. The twists and turns were unpredictable, but it took way too long to get there; The low budget of the movie is definitely seen in the limited amount of diversity in the settings. Don't get your hopes up and expect to be on your phone a bunch waiting for the important scenes to happen and you'll have a decent time.

Truly appears at first that this MAY be a quality production; e.g., interesting setting and some impressive sets. Best part of film is the drone footage of the indochinese island. Rapidly disintegrates into usual manure; e.g., closed and fixed interior (Read: Inexpensive) set, rote and unrealistic "dialog" exchanged between characters to explain plot, circumstances, what we must accept, etc. Jones and Phillips do a decent job of acting. Taylor and Sprawling -especially Sprawling- don't seem to get it and think they are making a Scoobi-Do movie. I've seen worse but don't bother with GEHENNA.

Ignore the pretentious downvotes. This was a pretty good movie - far better than i expected. The acting and script quite decent, and the atmosphere sufficiently scary for me to have enjoyed the story. Warning - if you're looking for Oscar material, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a good old-fashioned horror movie that will give you a few claustrophobic chills, give this one a try.

Seen this basic plot many times before. There is a slight twist and the setting is decent which is why it gets a 5 rating. Other than that, yawn.
