When you start watching some independent movies that were done on a small budget they are not going to be great. Especially horror films which are a much loved genre. I always remember cheapness such as The Wicker Man. Of course, this became a cult classic made on a shoe string budget. One could easily class The Ritual as a great piece of horror movie making on a cheap budget. So it's fair to say that you shouldn't judge a horror movie by its bank balance. That being said, The Legend of Jack and Jill absolutely takes the biscuit when it comes to utter rubbish. By the way, the original nursery rhyme originates no later than the early 18th century, Not this century as the movie suggests. I watched this movie due to Netflix giving it a very respectable 4.3 out of five.
Lets move forward.
The music score is annoying and dreadful.
The makeup is even worse than the music score.
All the adult actors are pitifully bad.
I won't pick on the cameo by the two kids as this was the best acting in the entire movie.
The story line was a joke.
Whoever wrote the script might want to rethink their career.
The characters were stereotypical. Either the women never thought to pick up a weapon and for some stupid reason always ran into one of the killers.
The men were even more stupid and at points in the movie, apparently deaf.
The side story was boring and pointless.
And finally, the best part of this movie was when the credits started rolling.
I really look for some good in a movie, even if I don't care for it. Be aware, there is nothing good lurking in the depths of this one.
The very best thing I can say about this movie is, please don't get it mixed up with the 2011 Jack and Jill which is a comedy starring Adam Sandler.
