13 Horas

If you think you are settling in for a gory well thought out horror film, you should know a few things. There are many things that make no sense & are unrealistic. It started well, the production value was high and all of the acting was on point. That being said, when the "creature" appears and attacks the whole thing gets a bit wobbly, as in why couldn't it do this or why didn't it just do that. This took away from it's validity for me. Also there are a number of slayings done off camera which took away from the horror aspect some, leaving little gore. They also left the vision of the beast up to the viewer, showing it only in quick blurs. Whenever we were given the beasts point of view it relied on the old everything is red scheme. There is some character development for the main lead girl and it didn't really go into much of the boys past, mostly they have all been stuck in the country manner in England while the girl(Gemma Atkinson) went off to the US for 8 months & there was some displeasure due to the fact that she never called or wrote not even to her best friend. Of course this all started happening not much more than an hour of her being back home so it doesn't have time for their backgrounds to add up to much. There is a very well planned twist to everything at the end so don't go away till the credits role or you run the risk of missing the brief voice over at the very end. Lastly I must mention the problem of the remaining eyebrows, once you have seen it you should know what I mean. It was still entertaining for me in spite of the weak bits, I would recommend it to any creature/horror genre fan, it's a good time killer. I'll give it a 5.0

Silly film, awful sfx, hammy acting, unsympathetic characters, dumb plot with a bit of a dog soldiers influence, but definitely not homage. At 80 mins you're thinking easy watch, but it felt a lot longer as I waiting for it to either get better or just to end.

13Hrs/Wolf Night – TRASH IT ( C- ) 13Hrs is one of the trashy indie horror movies we see from time to time. The story revolves around a girl who returns home after years to meet her family. She meets her half siblings and their friends, who are drinking in the barn. Suddenly they realize that there is something really strange roaming around the bran and their house. From there the hide and seek for their life starts. The story is acceptable but it's the presentation that bothered me. Low budget is understandable but bad lighting is not. It was sometimes really hard to even understand what exactly is going on in most of the gruesome scenes. The only thing nice in the movie is the friction between friends and siblings. Joshua Bowman (Reason I saw this movie), Gemma Atkinson, Isabella Calthrope, Peter Gadiot and Gabriel Thomson were good in their respective parts. Drunken Tom Felton is not a good thing to look at, he was over the top and not good at faking it. Overall, Trash it, the family mystery in it is not worth wasting time.

I watched this film at this year's Grimm Up North festival and was very disappointed. As the hotly tipped British production of the festival I was anticipating a good indie horror flick. Within the first five minutes the film succeeded in losing the audience to its appalling attempt at suspense. With a promising cast comprising elements of Harry Potter and My Family the only strong performance was turned in by Gemma Atkinson of Hollyoaks fame. Once the directors had filled their quota of cleavage and short skirts with Atkinson she produced a credible horror performance. It was such a shame that the rest of the film could not continue this momentum. I admit I could not stomach the full film as the suspense was noticeably lacking, the plot non-existent, and the acting was amateurish given the cast involved. What a waste of British talent, even die-hard indie film fans would baulk at this atrocity. Such a shame

8.1 rating?! (as at April 2012) Did you see the same film I did? Yet perhaps another sad case of inflating ratings in order to soothe filmmakers egos.

No tension, no pace, no catch phrases, no humour, no wit and unfortunately no "horror".

Poor acting, annoying characters, uninspired direction, unoriginal plot = 90 mins of boredom.

Credit goes only to the movie poster. Why is it that all the really bad horror films (not good bad, but bad bad) have really great posters/DVD covers?

Simply avoid this clunker, you will be a much happier movie lover for it!
