Do Céu ao Inferno

A ridiculous horror movie made in 2023. The characters are all disasters. Each one is like a cartoon type. Acting cannot even be called an amateur. The subject has been done dozens of times. Ah ah ah, if you saw those action scenes, you would cry for the sake of cinema.

There's no reason why you shouldn't say "you're killing me" to yourself while watching this movie.

A rich boy is going to throw a party tonight. His father is an MP. A girl from the same school also asks this MP to make a big deal for a university. That's why she's joining this party. But he learns about a story that this rich boy is hiding.

There is no sex or nudity in the movie. There is nothing in the name of the movie.

This film does little to develop any of the characters, and the plot is basic rich/poor at a fancy school. Except the target is entry to an Ivy league school rather than to stop bullying.

So stock rich kids & poor kids engage so the poor one can finagle into a school that her poor friend has a full ride. Rich kids are standard rich kids with all the excess that comes with it.

Oh wait, the film starts wurh a missing girl!

What starts as a standard party to get ahead turns into a heist and hostage situation. All the wrong choices are made, all the obvious signs are ignored, and the revenge is served stupidly.

Oh well. Anne Heche filmed her part soon before she died. She looked as if she was ready to fall over intoxicated. Or she was reeling from chemo.

Tense only due to the stupidity if the characters.

This movie is so DUMB! The writing is so STUPID. Every plot point is CRAZY. Every character choice is so ridiculous and makes no sense.

Just when you think the acting could not be more over the top, or the writing could not get more idiotic...it does.

It is supposed to be about the power dynamics between the rich and the poor, but it is a joke. Everyone but the lead are horrible people.

I did not find the plot twists were not shocking, suspenseful ,or entertaining...it just annoyed me that people were so dumb, and made me mad the movie was still going.

Sitting through this movie was KILLING ME!

Have you ever watched a movie that was so bad that it made you physically angry? This is that movie. For some reason it was certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The numbers had to be manipulated. There is nothing good about this movie. I don't know how anyone involved with this travesty watched the finished product and declared "yep, it's ready". The plot is a re-tread of much better movies (young woman gets hunted by a group of killers) but with terrible dialogue and even worse acting. It's sad to see Anne Heche (R. I. P.) who is clearly not all there and the usually solid Dermot Mulrony ham it up, and at the same time, phone it in. This movie could have been wrapped up in about 45 minutes and it would have been better. Most of the scenes seem to be dragged out to fill time. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Overall quite great for a rather low budget film, and a decent thriller that shouldn't have a problem keeping viewers on the edge of their seat. The plot was far from perfect however, with a lot of moments I personally found hard to interpret, and a lot of filler as well. Color grading was also little poor, with the entire film being quite dark. Characters and acting were overall decent, though it would've been better if each character had more time at the beginning to establish themself. Casting seemed to be decent, though it would've been interesting to see what else could've been accomplished if this wasn't where the majority of the budget went.
