La vengeance de l'au-delà (2005)

Review by johannes2000-1

La vengeance de l'au-delà

3/10

Unscary and uninspired, but surprisingly gay'ish wannabe supernatural thriller

It's hard to find anything positive to say about this movie. Okay, I guess they meant well, and the premise is maybe farfetched, but for a supernatural horror/thriller not that bad: freshman student Becky finds an old ring that used to belong to a long time ago murdered student, who's vengeful spirit possesses Becky to turn his wrath on the present sons of the then bashers. But that's about it on the positive side.

I saw the movie on YouTube and the image-quality was really bad. The editing was awkward, with many scenes cut-off abruptly or dragged way too long. The direction made many weird choices, like letting Becky supposedly snoop around in secret in the guys dorm, but making her stand almost in full sight without anybody noticing her; or turning her eyes piercing red every time she got possessed, making her look like a battery operated Barbie doll with electric eyes. Special effects were non existent, and the killings were simple and unconvincing. On top of all this, the acting was really below par: Raquel Riskin and Cory Monteith (years before his relative fame in Glee) looked both reasonably cute, but talked and walked like uninspired robots.

There was just one bright redeeming aspect, albeit probably only for people like myself: for some unfathomable reason they made the male students time and again strip to their tighty whities and behave unintended, yet unmistakably gay, like doing their fitness routines half naked, or rubbing their torsos sensually with liquor. So this one and a half hour wasn't totally wasted, and worth my three stars.
