Lo

So I just happened to see this movie in the Netflix instant queue and thought I would give it a try due to the fact that the story sounded good....and guess what it was a very well written movie! I liked the fact that it was set up like a stage play. Even tho the hole movie takes place in one spot it still held my attention very well...Oh and the big plus for me was the actor Jeremiah Birkett who played Lo in this movie but also played Blue Bell the Troll in The 10th Kingdom which is my favorite movie and he is a great actor (Go him!!)...so I would strongly recommend this movie to someone that would like to see something different and completely original...even tho it was low budget and sometimes got a little ridiculous in some parts it made me think different about those smaller films out there that can be just as good or even better then the blockbusters! ^_^

This one surprised me. . .I call this a 'Profane Comedy' as a counterpoint to what we know as 'Divine Comedy'. I was expecting a low budget slapstick horror romp: Boyfriend loses Girl to a Demon and then summons a demon to get her back-- but the tagline is that "the Demon has Other Ideas" Then the movie started.

Then I saw that it was actually a PLAY. And I normally don't like Plays. But I didn't hit the BACK button and remove it from my Netflix Queue. Why? The acting wasn't stilted or boring, and the dialogue was pretty 'with it'.

Now the humor is there, but it's light humor. And the Humor is light because it covers a deeper dramatic question. Some of it was strained and reaching. Other parts were nicely comedic. And the reason the structure of the sets seems so. . .staged. . .is because the focus is NOT about the HORROR about dealings with Demons. It's a play about Dealing with Demons.

And the ending was, from a Guyz perspective. . .disturbingly touching.

Girlfriend Friendly movie-- and a Girlfriend Test. If she fails: Dump her.

This movie was everything i didn't expect when reading the synopsis on netflix. I had went into it expecting a sort of pans labyrinth search for his girlfriend. Instead, I was completely in awe of the use of what i thought was stage acting on a stage itself. The story and plot is what kept me intrigued until the great twist. Great film, if i had to rate it i'd personally give it 8 out of 10. Even though it was a bit cheesy at parts Lo is still an achievement of biblical proportions. To take such a story and portray it in such a way was absolutely marvelous. and a great Film overall as well. I would recommend this to any movie fanatic. and i have many times..........

I rarely comment on movies but this one though very original was excellent! It's set like a stage play and gives the impression of a rather low-budget independent film (although I have no detailed knowledge about who and under what condition it was produced) - yet the absence of any distracting special effects actually provides a focus on the story and leaves something for audience's imagination just like actually seeing a theatre play or reading a book even. The acting was very solid as well and kept me on suspense throughout the entire movie although I did figure out the conclusion somewhat before the end. Nevertheless, you should definitely regard me actually taking the time to write a review on here as indication of this movie's quality!

Highly recommended to everyone!

While browsing the "Horror" section of Netflix I stumbled upon this movie. It received a fairly high rating and seemed kind of like my thing. As the movie starts its blatantly obvious that this didn't belong in Horror. Its humor was some of the funniest things I have seen in an indie movie. What Lo lacked in special effects and things a more pricey movie has, made up for it with a well written script and a diverse story that kept me guessing. The bartender scene had me almost crying from laughter. While there are definitely other movies out there that are a lot more flashy and catchy. Lo has its own unique spark. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anybody who asks.
