Black Wake

Stiff acting. Bad edit, shots, all. bad direction.. B movie that is not campy . bore fest. sorry to be so negative about it. worth 3 for effort.

the director must have some connections to have this made, maybe its a sort of demo? but it dosnt show good directing influences or inspiration.

All I can think is "Oh Hai, Mark!" What starts out as a horribly, terribly acted movie soon turns into an embarassing mess of writing, acting, directing and unintentional butchering of the english language.

But stick with it and you'll see some of the worst cinema you'll see in ages. It's worth it for the laughs! The main, terrible, actress (Nana) talks into a (web?) camera throughout the movie as a narrator of sorts. The camera is mounted above her forehead and she has to look up at it with her twisted smile, terrible acting, awful pronunciation and a psycho look in her eyes. It all seems intentionally comical, but -- its not. It's super serious and it's super super bad.

The writing - oh wow - there are so many terrible quotes of cringe and nonsense, you'll feel like you're drunk trying to follow the dialogue. Just listen to it.. and it's really (unintentionally) funny-bad. Unlike tongue-in-cheek movies like the Sharknado series, this movie thinks its a seriously good flick, and it's hilarious to watch it try to pretend that it's an actual movie.

It tries to be a found footage film in a lot of the scenes, but it often raises the question : "Who is filming this? Where did the camera to film that come from??" Its so poorly thought out, its awesome-bad.

No it's not Tommy Wiseau bad, but it's pretty damn close. The main actress is worth it just to see how bad she is trying to be good.

It's still worth a 1/10 - but if you watch it just to enjoy its worst-in-class acting and its worst-in-class dialogue, you certainly will get some laughs and some groans. Just don't think it's serious.. and you might want to stream it so you can move the slider to give yourself a bit of break from having to watch the whole thing.

No pun intended - sometimes I see ratings for movies and I think: it can't be that bad now can it? And then there are movies like this one, which remind me ... well I reckon it kind of can. No offense to anyone involved, I know making movies is not easy, even harder if you do not have any money/budget to speak of.

Tom Sizemore - if you have seen the movie Heat or some other stuff he did a long time ago ... you may remember really liking him! I mean I still do ... and he needs money, if no one else is hiring him ... he has to do stuff like this. A movie that makes almost no sense and is way too late for the found footage hype .... and if you are not a fan from the start anyway ... the movie will not win you over ... quite the opposite will be happening.

Never ceases to amaze me that so much effort and money can be poured into a film for so little. I find it surprising also that Julia Roberts brother and Tom Sizemore are in this. Just goes to show they have no idea until the end of filming what the result will be, maybe they don't care. Best part of this film is the out takes at the end.

Nana is married to Carlos Keyes, who wrote this movie for her. Period. But, she's beautiful!
