Birth Rite

I rent bad videos to laugh at them, I purposely look for the crappiest videos and watch them just for the humor. (A bad habit me and my friends have) This is just plain bad. I've seen a lot of "B" Rated flicks but this one is the worst one. If torture was allowed in the U.S., playing this in front of someone over and over again would be the worst to endure. I've seen better acting in my school talent show, the gore and graphics looks like the producer made a mistake with it but left it in there because they didn't have the money to re-do it, the plot is absolutely laughable and just makes you hate yourself afterwards . I recommend that anyone who finds a copy of this, destroy it immediately and tell everyone else to do the same. And I'm not exaggerating how bad this is.

Well well, I have seen a lot so far and especially those 70's grindhouse and exploitation movies but nowadays everybody is trying to make an ode to that era. Mostly they are total crap. But there are worser things happening, due the success of horror at the box offices the labels are bringing out every movie made concerning horror. And some are a total turkey like this one. Nothing really happens, a warlock appears and disappears like nothing while he is searching for his "lady" to rule the world. From the first five minutes you know enough, a shoot out while a black mass ceremony is happening. But when people get hurt no blood is flowing. Then we move on 12 years later when the girl who would be sacrificed becomes 18, an adult. But when she gets possessed by the warlock, you really should see the effects, so stupid. This is worser then watching Disney. In fact there are no effects. The warlock effects are just done by editing. And the possessed girl effects are just done by her hands. The so called love scene's are ridiculous, but hey, the director included some nudity. If your toddlers will find this DVD they will never be feared, in fact they will be amused like watching Nickelodeon.

What can I say? This film suffers from a bad script, bad acting, bad dialog, bad camera work, cardboard acting, just all in all a disaster.

The opening scenes of this movie were very melodramatic, almost as if it was meant to be a comedy, but it was from the awful acting, not from any intention of the film maker. From there on it went downhill, the final fight scene had me cringing.

All I can say is don't waste your money on this... You have been warned.

On her 18th birthday a handsome stranger reveals to Rebecca, an orphan, that she is in fact the daughter of a witch & warlock, etc, etc. The DVD cover has scream queens Julie Strain & Brinke Stevens names on it but they are mere cameos Natalie Sutherland does a reasonable job as Rebecca & takes her clothes off several times, one of the few highlights. For the girls Danny Wolske gets his pecs out, but sadly his acting ability is wooden at best. There are a few death scenes, the girl being sucked down the toilet being the best part of the movie. Otherwise, the little gore is very poor, as is the whole, stupid film.

Once upon a time, tricked by a reasonable looking front cover and the fact that it was in blockbuster, a friend and I rented this film. That day is burned in our minds forever. It is clear from the first 5 minutes that this film is rubbish. To start with, it's a stupid plot.

What I really don't get is why Rebecca suddenly starts having sex with everyone. And why she doesn't think it's weird that some warlock suddenly starts stalking her.

Then there are the "special effects". Rebecca (an "eighteen year old")sees Roman through the window "floating". He is just standing on a car. And there's a scene where everyone "disappears" by walking out of shot.

I'm not saying don't watch it. On the contrary, go and get it right now. I'm just warning you, if you are looking for a film you can believe in, this isn't it. I don't really know how to rate this. For comedy value, 10 out of 10. For a serious horror movie, 3 out of 10. What am I talking about, 3? I mean 1. No, not even that.

The best bit of this DVD is the trailer for R.O.C.C.O. Seriously.
