Demon Eye

When will horror directors realise bad acting kills their film?

That's what struck me in this, the acting was truly poor. Look at B movies from 30 years ago, and the acting was far superior to what's on show here.

A shame as there's a decent storyline, and the film looks good for a low budget movie, but it's killed stone dead by the acting.

Sounded ok from the description, but ended up being a boring plot, bad acting & the film's washed out colour & lack of decent effects only adds to it's bleakness. I'd keep looking if I were you.

British horror is an oxymoron. British films are mostly an oxymoron. And I'm British. British films seem to be centred on really bad language (we're not all like that, people) and broad accents - we're not all like that either. I hate the way we're portrayed in films - we don't all swear all the time and some of us are quite cultured. This film is ok with the portrayal of people. But they're boring. And the film is boring. The acting is boring. It's a complete nothingfest. Other reviews say it made them jump. When was that?? Avoid if you have to pay. There is no coherence. The actors are just 'meh'. Sorry to sound like a curmudgeon but am fed up paying for films on Amazon that are complete rubbish. I gave up on this twice: the first time at 30 minutes and the second at around one hour 15. Just don't bother. And now I've watched it all. Don't bother. It's dreadful and painful. Really, really painful.

Breathtaking views and great pictures overall but still stuck in the horror movie clichea. Erotical buildup instead of really blood chilling horror tricks.

British horror, well, made this way its a decent try.its about a demonised house with a demon eye on a necklace, its a father that goes for the hangman story, his daughter coming back to rule out what has happened. befriends a local journalist, and gets work as a photographer in the local bankrupt sinking ship of a newspaper.the horrifying horrors a well spread out, and takes form of many things, dolls dogs,persons etc etc.

acting, somewhat stiff at part,quite profesional at others, and the choice of weird looking penine inhabitants are well done. the filmography and editing, and some of the special effects are really well done, and the music on top of it all makes it quite creepy, but not more than that. i might be in a somnolent level , and therefore not able to be shockjolted. the story are not well told enough, and that might be the directors responsibility.

the climax in the end are twisted and chaotic, and may be the cause to watch it twice, and the grumpy old man may do that when some texted version are available. its a recommend, but dont expect that much.
