12/12/12

Well for say, many, many mistakes there. Extremely low budget movie about a satanic cult guy that goes around trying to steal a newborn baby that is actually the demon lord. OK,that's the premise of the movie,now it's review time .... OMG,it's too awful for words.Everyone associated w/making this movie needs to have the taste slapped outta their mouths.Seriously,avoid this movie like it's the plague.Worse than the worst movie.

I looked at the cover and thought it was worth it. Wrong! Never judge a movie by its cover.

The Asylum, has had way better movies, what happened here? It was made way to fast. When I got the movie there was no reviews on it so I was suckered ... Avoid!

The cover looked good, the write up looked good, the movie.... Terrible.

There are wonders of medical science in this movie. A Caesarian section scat that heals over night. Dead bodies that breathe.

The acting is third rate, at best. No Oscar nominations here.

Even for a gore/ slasher flick this really does scrape the bottom of the barrel.

Oh, and if you like swearing, this is the movie for you.

Total waste of time.

I did learn one thing though, I will now check reviews of the movies I think look good before buying them.

There were quite a few strikes against this movie from the beginning. First, the acting is not very good over all. No one really stank but no one was very good either. It rather reminded me of the level of acting you see in a high school play. Secondly, the sound was a problem. There is not very much background music in the movie and many of the shots seem kind of flat sounding as if they were shot in a padded warehouse or something. Even the street scenes are oddly empty sound- wise. There is a lack of motor vehicle sounds, animal sounds, people sounds, even the wind is missing. Third, the baby/monster looked ridiculously unbelievable. It looked like a wooden or plastic dummy being jerked along on strings or in some cases just thrown at people. It's face never even moves. Fourth, the dead rats that are left everywhere are laughably fake looking. You can buy more realistic ones at Walmart near Halloween. Fourth, the plot was beyond predictable there was no mystery, no twist at all. It laid everything on the table from the first scene. I usually try to find some good in any movie I watch. Oddly enough, the only I can think of to say in a positive manner is that Sara Malukal Lane, the main character, has truly lovely breasts. I am a straight female with no interest in girls at all, but I could not help but notice how perfectly shaped and placed they are. Showing them a couple of times was probably the best decision the director made in this movie. Other than that, it is an utter waste of time.

"12/12/12" will lure you in with an appealing cover, but the contents within that cover is simply put - disappointing, boring and far from interesting.

The very moment you see The Asylum's logo on the screen you know it is going to be one of those movies. And as with the movies spewed out from The Asylum, the vast majority of them are ridiculously hilarious to watch because they take the term bad to a whole new level. And "12/12/12" is exactly that.

The story in this movie is about a couple having a baby born on the unique date that is 12/12/12, and apparently to have a baby on that date is a very bad thing. The baby is not well and soon people start dying around it of mysterious incidents and accidents. A dark and gloomy Satanic cult wants the baby as it is the bringer of the end of the world.

This movie borrows heavily from other movies that managed to pull it off in a much better manner and a much more believable way. The baby in "12/12/12" is so horrible fake that it is painful to watch. And there was one scene that was just downright tasteless - it includes the baby and the mommy, that is all I will say. You have to see it for yourself. That was just a tad too much in my opinion.

As for the acting in "12/12/12", well given the production value of the movie and the budget, don't expect any overly familiar faces or any outstanding performances here. It was uninspiring and lacked conviction most of the time.

The Asylum spews out a lot, and I do mean a lot, of questionable movies that are so bad that they actually start to have entertainment value because they are so horrible to look at. "12/12/12" is nothing special and oddly enough it doesn't even qualify in the latter bucket of The Asylum movies. And the movie also had a fair number of bad mistakes in it, but I will leave that up to you to try to spot them.

I don't know why but I had a feeling that this was going to be an OK film but I couldn't have been more wrong, I'm afraid it's another one of those straight to DVD titles that are so common these days and booooooooooooy is it a stinker.

Stealing its basic plot ideas from "The Omen", "Paranormal Activity" and "Rosemary's Baby", though never successfully. This travesty is as much as an unintentional comedy as it is a horror, that as we know can be quite entertaining at times but it never is here. Hilariosly bad acting, unconvincing characters, comic deaths, terrible special effects and a just incredibly awful demonic baby which is never properly seen but what you do see isn't worth the wait.

I've run out of adjectives to describe how bad this is so I'll leave you with this one lasting message:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
