The Necromancer

Finally a movie worse than Jaws The Revenge! At least with that movie I made it to the end credits! I can only assume that some of the glowing 10 star reviews on here are written by members of the cast and crew, production/distribution company or by people who have simply never seen a film before! The Necromancer really was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I forced myself to stay with it for as long as possible but after approximately one hour I gave up and simply walked out of the theatre - thankfully I have a monthly membership with the cinema chain and I didn't pay any money to watch this excuse for a film! The film literally felt like a poorly executed student film - I have been a film/TV student myself so I know what a poor, low budget student film looks like! In fact I have seen amateur high school dramas on YouTube that are better than this! Just about everything was wrong with it! Poor amateurish acting, laughable dialogue, lack of direction, film editing that was so poor it actually caught your attention - I could go on! I have only walked out on a movie twice in over 40 years of being a film fan as It's something I don't generally agree with. In this case I felt compelled!

Never normally bother writing an actual review but I feel it is my duty to warn others how absolutely awful this film was. Anyone who claims a film other than this is the worst of all time hasn't seen this. Lacks any sense of direction, often makes no sense, half the film is fuzzy out of focus twigs although that is better than the horrific acting the only scary thing about this film was that someone actually signed this film off as more than a failed gcse project

The premise in itself is interesting. The script, the utterly insipid, simplistic dialogues and the amateurish acting (on a level with that of a not-so-brilliant high school troupe), paired with special effects clearly inspired by Pan's Labyrinth (albeit the version you'd expect elementary school children to make for themselves for Halloween) soon make it hard to keep a straight face.

Add to that a complete disregard for period detail and wigs so visibly artificial that you expect a label sticking out of them saying '100% polyester' and you wouldn't be surprised if one of the characters were to check his messages on an Apple Watch on screen.

Makes you wonder what the jury's standards are at the Bristol Festival. The real horror is thinking about what the other films presented will have been like if this is the winner.

Well that's 90 minutes I won't get back. What a crock of crap. I had high hopes for this film but was sorely disappointed.

Bad acting and weird accents. There were a few good bits but they were few and far between. I found myself questioning the production and costumes as the film was so poor. Not recommended.

Well that's 90 minutes I won't get back. Bad acting and terrible script. I had high hopes for this film but it was ridiculously uneventful.

Just when you thought it was going to be good it descended into ham acting and nonsense. The costumes didn't look right and the locations didn't match the script that well.
