Long Time Dead

This movie started off quite boring but it soon got very scary, and by scary i mean good too. I liked it very much...

I couldn't help reading one of the posts to this movie where some stupid guy said that British horror movies are no good and jeepers creepers from USA is a lot better... i sooo disagree with him... ok, hollywood makes a lot of quality movies but check out the british too..

If you like this movie i recommend also "My Little Eye".

4/5

The attempt to bring the ouija board theme to a movie sounds good idea, and the first 10 minutes are kind of scary. There was so much potentinal at the beginning of the movie, sadly it fails. The plot is nothing new, it couldn't scare even if taken seriously, the directing is good at some point, but as we can't see the "djinn" until the end we can't get scared in the death scenes. The good thing about the movie is the acting, and I could say the effective score. The ending is quite good that's all I can say about it.

"Long Time Dead" is recommended for recent fans of the horror genre, even though it failed to promote the horror genre of the new century. Watch it for some fun!

In the 1960's the Hammer Horrorr films helped to almost single handedly revitalised the british film industry - but lately we haven't seen much Horror (film wise) coming out of the UK. Long Time Dead tries to recify this with mixed results. Though not brilliant and lacking a lot of the audicity of the Hammer films, as well as the eerie spookiness of the lastets supernatural hits - THE OTHERS and SIXTH SENSE, Long Time Dead does manage a few tense moments - nothing overly scarey mind you but I didn't hate it.

The trouble is it is trying to follow an American formula - a group of teenagers fooling around with the supernatural unleash something terrible and most of them die as a result.

It also has the now mandatory - "it's not really over" ending.

That said it is okay and fans thirsty for a bit of spooky old fashioned horror/supernatural/teenage thriller will probably enjoy it.

Just as an aside I recommend viewers who did enjoy this or who are interested in the Demon DJIN which features in this film would enjoy WishMaster - the Wes Craven film. It is far more bloody and violent but the Djin is also much more developed.

This movie is a great choice for cheap scares and hell of a lot of plot holes. This is the story of some friends who after raving their ass off in a cool factory start looking for a real rush and find it on playing ouija board, well

something breaks loose and starts taking them one by one. It sounds like a usual "Scream" scenario doesn´t it! Well, as it turns out in the end it really was another scream franchise, Although it had great moments in it, specially the ouija playing scenes are so good and one involving a dead corpse and a hiding person, suspense is a good one for this movie, if you are a nervous kind of person you´ll be on the edge of your seat all the time, if you are a genere fan then you´ll have a better time than watching "Eight leggen freaks" that really sucked big time. The ending is so cheesy i was about to puke, Cool movie i´ll give it an 8 out of 10, check it out.

Set and shot in Britain,LTD would be pretty indistinguishable from being shot in Hollywood.It's a horror thriller about a oujia board that works thanks to some nifty camera work,a jolty score and some rather grisly effects.And all at a running time of just an hour and a half.This is overall an intriguing and original premise,and while maybe not as delivering as it could have been,should be checked out,maybe with the aid of a speaker sound system.***
