Worst Acting Ever

A common horror story plot with admirable production quality. But the worst acting I've ever scene outside a high school project. With a plot full of family curses and unexplained longevity and wealth, it seems the true mystery is how did a film get a budget for professional level sound, photography, cinematography, set decoration etc with such atrocious acting. It's like the film is cursed and that's the real horror. Almost worth watching to witness the acting. I don't know if these are good performers doing a crap job, or just bad actors. See for yourself.

Bad acting...

Have to agree with the previous reviewer; the girl at the flower stall ... oh my.... It really is an exercise in amateur acting.

Never liked Dean Caine myself, his acting is not much better and every time I see his name or Casper Van Has Been I know pretty much the movie is going to be of tv movie on a wet Sunday afternoon for bored housewives variety but this was considerably worse - what were they thinking???

The positives - the castle used was pretty amazing and there are some nice bits of photography, it used another old idea with nothing new and was actually quite funny if you take it as a comedy!

Dean Cain, WHY?!

This film is terrible, to say the least. From start to finish you get the actress, acting so badly I would've passed this film as a school project. Why on earth did Dean Cain agree to star in this film?! He was the only person who acted. I'm sure he would've had other offers. Dear God...

It's a 'no' from me

It's a B movie. I knew that and I often like B movies - sometimes they surprise you. There's a brief surprise at the end that took all of a second to register and then it was " of course". So not really a surprise at all. Really bad acting, although I wasn't sure if this was deliberate on the part of the director - certainly I've seen Dean Cain do better. So I'm not sure what the director was going for. But the whole thing was a mess, including the 'story' line.

Trivia
When Producer, Dan Campbell and Director, Jude S. Walko, first scouted the La Tavern (Irish Pub) in Nevers, France, they were offered a local beer. The bartender serendipitously served them a Bellerose Beer, which is coincidentally the last name of the Main Character of the story, Lucy Bellerose. This led to an eventual product placement deal with said beer company, and to Walko adding the scene where Lucy discovers the exact same beer in the exact same bar, uncannily bearing her name.

Quotes
Lieutenant Dan: [to the Bartender] One beer, please.
Lucy Bellerose: Thank God! An American.
[Lt. Dan brushes her off]
Lieutenant Dan: Hey, I'm just here for the Battle of Belleau Wood Memorial. Rumor has it there's a Devil Dog fountain of youth.
[swigs back his beer]
Lucy Bellerose: Uh, excuse me, Sir.
[she musters the courage]
Lucy Bellerose: Can I ask you...
Lieutenant Dan: [cutting her off mid-sentence] ... Sorry, Miss America. Semper Fi!
[He slaps the beer money on the counter and walks off]
