Desperate Souls

Considering that my wife and I have a 15 month old daughter...we don't get to spend too much time watching movies, so in this case I guess it was a good thing we picked this movie....we turned it off 15 minutes into it. The cover of the movie and first 3-5 minutes had me thinking this could turn into an alright B movie, boy was I wrong. The actors (if you can call them that) who were in this should have been in an over the top drama class not a "horror flick" and the dialog...wow, that was by far the worst I think I have ever watched. By the way...it doesn't take a lot of money to write well. Good thing Blockbuster sent us a free pass or else I would have requested my money back!

The title "DESPERATE SOULS",is what drew me to watch this movie.I had some difficulty following the story line but the movie flowed well and kept my interest going right till the end.Guess that could be a bonus.If you understand the plot too well it could make for a boring movie. This movie is anything but boring. With the dry humor to the fight scenes, it was GOOD! I thought the filming, the direction, the angle shots were way above average for a film with a low budget. These guys knew what they were doing and did achieve it. If this movie had top name actors it could have made it to the big screen. Very professional and high end quality. I scored this movie on the high end because the overall product is better than some movies i've scene in this genre....and yes, 100% better than the Blair Witch in my opinion.I liked it!

This movie was absolutely awful - bad acting combined with way too many showy camera shots, and a storyline that was hard to follow and made very little sense. I only watched through to the end with hope for something good, but was disappointed when the film came up with nothing redeeming to end the movie with. There was either overacting or underacting, and nothing was consistent. And the lines that were trying to be funny just didn't belong. The opening shots made the movie appear to be interested, but it was only a letdown from then on. I do not recommend this movie unless you are a film student looking for what not to do when making movies. This looked like the work of an overzealous film student.

If you bought/rented this movie, then I have some swamp land to sell you. This movie was a horrible mix of every terrible B-movie made in the last 10 years and the Blair Witch Project.

After watching a trailer, I decided that this movie might be funny horror in the tradition of Evil Dead or Army of Darkness.... how wrong I was.

This movie has SERIOUS holes in the plots. After the first 10 minutes, this movie becomes very difficult to continue watching because of the serious plot flaws. The Anti-hero is basically a bum that lives in a tin shack, yet has a fur coat (wtf!). It makes no sense what-so- ever. Then the Anti-hero meets the other hero character (they don't know each other) Then the next scene they are running around like childhood friends. That is just the beginning of the long trail of inconstancies that will make you want to scratch your eyes out.

I would recommend this movie for film Teachers to use as a tool to show what you don't want to do in a movie.

Desperate Souls is a great example of these sub-par home-made horror movies that the studios buy for dirt cheap, then they like to roll them out around Halloween. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS MOVIE! ! ! ! !

I predict the only people watching this movie are the folks that starred in it.

If IMDb would let me rate it a (-) negative number I would.

Hey all, thanks for checking out our flick. We started filming it when we were 19. I think the "story" of the filming process of the movie should be brought to attention. We never worked a camera or never took a film class. It does show throughout the film, but remember to take this film lightly, it is what it is. It's a "no budget" not a "low budget" cheesy horror flick. We wanted to make something that you could sit down, grab some beers and drink with your friends while making fun of it. If you have watched this movie seriously, you got some issues. It was made to be cheesy and bad, for pure entertainment purposes. Next month I will post a list of funny things that happen in it. For example, cameras being in the shot and snow, (yes, snow). Cheers!
