13/13/13

This movie is absolutely horrible. With a nonexistent plot and two dimensional characters made this file impossible to follow, let alone enjoy .i would not recommend this movie to anyone. If I could give it less than one star I would. I really do wish that I could have those two hours of mine and boyfriends life back. The only thing this movie has is ogre and not even that makes up for how crappy the story really is. The acting was more comedic then it was scary and seemed like it was trying to be a mix between a horror film and one of the satirical Scary Movie films. It seemed to be a wanna be zombie movies and failed miserably at it. Please save your time, money, and rental. Pick a different movie and don't give this one a second glance.

This being a movie by The Asylum, then all odds are stacked against the movie already. However, and this did come as a surprise to me, then "13/13/13" was actually one of the better produced movies to make it out of the clutches of the guys at The Asylum.

That being said, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that this movie is great, actually far from it. The storyline is adequate, but it was weighed down by some questionable acting and even more dubious dialogue.

The story is about leap years having added time to the calendar as we know it, and one this unique day dated 13/13/13 the world comes crashing down, leaving a small group of people fighting for their sanity as the world crumbles into insanity around them.

I will say that the storyline had potential, but it was just shot down by a heap of irrelevant sidetracking and really annoying characters and bad performances. There were certain aspects to the story that had potential, and could have acquired so much more had director James Cullen Bressack opted to put more focus on these.

The outbreak of violence and erratic behavior was interesting, but it never really amassed into something spectacular. And throughout most of the movie there wasn't an overwhelming sensation of this being a major issue and a world-threatening outbreak of whatever phenomena it was supposed to be.

The characters in the movie were rather two-dimensional and wooden, never really getting to shine on the screen, and as such, then we end up with a bunch of characters that the audience don't really care for or come to have any kind of bonding with in any regards.

Production-wise, then "13/13/13" was actually quite good, and this was definitely a step in the right director for The Asylum, but there is still a long way to go yet.

This movie came and went without leaving a lasting impression, and I seriously doubt that it will make a return for a second viewing. The movie just didn't have enough to offer to sustain a second watching.

Don't get lured in by the interesting poster / DVD cover, which I did, because it is utterly misleading and promises something that has nothing to do with the movie at all.

"13/13/13" gets a mere 3 out of 10 rating from me, given the production value and certain aspects which had potential.

The only thing I can say about this movie is that it is absolute crapola and i switched off after 5 minutes that felt like eternity. Rubbish rubbish trash trash. Rubbish rubbish rubbish trash trash trash. Awful awful awful awful. Bad bad bad bad. Why why why why did they make it? Trash trash trash trash. Anyone who gives this film more than 2 is a moron and has no taste or sense. Don't waste your time people. Please please please do yourselves a favour and forget you ever came across this abomination. total insult to intelligence. Acting is atrocious and could not have cost more than a few thousand dollars to make. Surely none of the actors got paid for this. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn. In other words I did not like or recommend this so called film.

That 13/13/13 had a decent enough premise was the main reason for seeing it in the first place. With the right execution the movie may not have been too bad, though seeing as this is The Asylum we're talking about that was going to be unlikely. And sadly 13/13/13 joins the endless list of movies that have "good premise but bad execution", and is yet another movie that shows why Asylum movies are hated on so much. The production values throughout are really cheap, the whole movie is very dully lit, the editing is abrupt-looking and sloppy and the photography never rises above amateurish TV quality. The special effects and the like are at best risible, and the make-up is fancy-dress sort of fashion. The script and story are also major debits, as well as the direction and acting. The script is very, very weak, it is very stilted and has no subtlety of any kind. It is also littered to the brim with cussing, some of it gives it some flavour but it's overused and quickly gets tiresome, reading often of being there for the sake of it. The story is to sum it up in two words dull and predictable with a touch of annoying over-silliness too, if you're looking for any thrills, tension or fun look for another movie because they're not anywhere in 13/13/13. The direction shows no sense of character or style, the external review said along the likes of it being too reliant on the acting than on the dialogue and that sums it up perfectly. Unfortunately, apart from Erin Coker who is reasonable, the acting is pretty terrible, especially from Trae Ireland who overacts and is also a bore. With Tiffany Martinez, there is shades of talent that are not used well here, where all she's talented at or is made to do is cuss with conviction. This she does but the performance is never anything more than that. Jody Barton and J. Scott suffer from not just being annoying but that their characters, none of which in 13/13/13 are you able to root for, serve no real point. The music is generic and at times over-bearing and the sound effects and quality are bizarre and lowly-mixed. Overall, initially 13/13/13 may not have been so bad judging from the premise but from the way it was executed on screen it ended up being a real struggle to sit through. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I had a look at this movie because I was bored and was in need of a decent horror movie. I'm regretting I did not look at IMDb before I hired it. Let's say this is the most horrible display of acting I have ever seen. The plot seems really cool and it still is , but they completely ruined it with over the top acting and lines that could have been written by an 8 year old.

There is nothing to say about this movie then it deserves a -10 . I wonder how the actors in the movie feel about this, why did they not make the plan to just quit after coming to the conclusion this will and would never work.

Thank you for the two lost hours of my life.
