Fórmula Fatal

This movie could have been excellent. it's too slow, tiresome, boring even, through the most part.

The storyline is fairly interesting, or at least could have been. A lot was left unexplained, but still not open for any interpretation.

Unclear dialog, and poor execution make this a huge miss. The surprising ending was a great attempt to save it, but unfortunately it doesn't make the other 129 minutes worth viewing.

Too bad they didn't focus more on what happened at the end, and insisted on weary us with their boring-ass plot.

5. Just for the saving grace at the end.

I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. It's so rare to find a good sci-fi type thriller. It seems like all the scary movies these days cater to the lowest common denominator, doing fast cuts, lots of gore. I enjoyed the creepy pacing and the smart story.

There were a few groaner moments, of the "oh, that was very convenient" kind, and it's clear that this was a low-budget movie. But overall it had a very smart plot, with solid acting, and a nice creepy tone. A fun find!

I wouldn't recommend this to the horror gore-hounds, but if you're looking for a smart, thriller type of movie, this is a good one.

Two paramedics, David (Johnny Messner) and Victor (Jon Huertas) received a emergency call to help a mysterious woman (Deanna Russo) and her daughter Libby (Saige Ryan Campbell) in a deserted area outside from a gas station. Once they arrived, they tired to save this woman until a bizarre group of people arrived with a truck. They find themselves being kidnapped and bring them to a isolated building. The two paramedics finds out, they have been kidnapped by the Quanta Group. Which this group are actually a strange group of cults. Which they are composed by Scientist, Philosophers and Mathematicians. Which is controlled by a man, who called himself "The Teacher" (Daniel Benzali). But David and Victor learns by the Quanta Group truly believes the end of the world is coming soon and they are preparing a mass suicide. While Victor is been seduced by this group. David tries to escape to from this cult with the help of Libby and saves his friend before it's too late.

Directed by Daniel Myrick (Co-director of "The Blair Witch Project") made an fascinating, clever, low-budget thriller with hints of horror and science-fiction. Myrick certainly handles well the low-budget of the movie by giving good performances from his cast, creating genuine suspense and an creepy atmosphere in the story. For a Direct to DVD project, this has good qualities. The director certainly shows a lot of talent behind the camera. But the film does it's usual share of flaws, especially during the third act but Myrick certainly does take his time by making the movie works. I think, the viewers will find themselves intrigue by the premise and they also will be modestly entertained by the picture. It's certainly worth seeing. (*** ½/*****).

Pretty Good STV Study of the "Death Cult" like Jonestown/Waco. The Problem here is the Evil doers are not very Scary or Interesting. The Human Religious Counterpoint is a Superstitious, St. Christopher clasping Minority who Whines a lot.

It seems that when You Reduce everything to an Equation and Formula, much of the Heart and Soul is canceled. No Need for Alien Soul Snatching or Demonic Possession, the "Language of the Universe" is enough to Eradicate Free Will.

The Cultist go about Their Brainwashing and Bad Deeds in a Dry, Methodical, Mathematically based Theology so Matter of Fact that the Drama Suffers. The Film Never quite Reaches that "Twilight Zone" Atmosphere it is searching for, until the very Last Scene.

After responding to an emergency call, a group of paramedics find themselves abducted by a strange doomsday cult that has intentions of including them in their plans, forcing them to fight their way out before the group carries on with their plans.

This is an utterly terrible and completely boring thriller masquerading as a horror film with the one single marking point for it's inclusion in the genre is a single scene where a formerly dead victim is reanimated through unknown means and is up walking around soon afterward with a strange look in their eye. Beyond that, there's hardly anything here that really gives this one a horror feel or tone, and the fact that the majority of the film time is spent with them doing nothing but sitting around or focusing on the group telling each other to get ready but not doing anything else. This one leaves far too much unexplained or really confusing as to it's inclusion, leaving the whole thing an unmitigated mess that focuses on completely non-threatening cult that serves no other purpose but to continually keep the film going without explaining anything. Tiresome, clichéd and rather uninteresting make this a really useless entry all around.

Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and children-in-jeopardy.
