    Fading of the Cries - More Like Fading Into Nothingness

    I really struggled to watch this movie from start to finish as it was nothing more than cliché dancing over clichés and, matched only with the continuous bad hammy acting.

    Might be great for the kids or 1, but I doubt it as I'm convinced they have at least a modicum of sophistication.

    The concept, brilliant. I cannot not fault, the acting and choreography I can.

    If I could get away with returning my DVD and claim my refund I would. Its that dire. I only paid £7.00 and even that was way to much.

    I would like to say it belongs within the B movie rank and file, but alas, its not even that good.

    There... I think I've given a clear picture of not liking the movie!

    Makes you ashamed to have eyes

    Right what would you get if you had a £10 budget, rubbish CGI people, people that have never stepped foot in an acting class, a director out of there senses and production who are apparently drunk? The simple answer is this film. No one can give me back the time this film has robbed me of. It is certainly the worst film i have ever watched, and i have watched many. I love films from many different genres, but I'm always up for anything with action, occult and horror references. This film however bobbles all over the place, between really awful acting, terrible effects and a rambling strange and often incomprehensible story. People will say this is a B movie but really it can't even merit that! the characters are so wooden i think they came pre varnished. All you are really left with is sitting there thinking, how the hell did i fall into the trap of paying to watch that? Trust me don't pay to watch it, don't even watch it when its available for free, there are many more worth while things to do with your time like counting dust particles or individually plucking the hairs from your toes!

    Unless your a hardcore fan of the vampire/demon/zombie type movie this is a chore to watch. Not for me at all. I say D

    "My best friend just died, you come out of nowhere, and those things..." Fourteen years after the death of his wife and daughter Michael (Nichols) is forced to revisit the past. When his niece finds a necklace she is attacked and saved by a strange man named Jacob. Soon after, mysteries and secrets are revealed. This is a movie that is for hardcore fans of vampire/demon/zombie type movies. I say that because in order to be able to make it through you have to be fascinated by this type of genre. The acting is horrendous and so distracting that I found it very very difficult to make it through. This is too serious to be a comedy, but not enough to be taken seriously. I was not impressed by this at all, but again, for fans of this type of movie you may like this. Overall, this was almost impossible for me to make it through, but I have never really been all that into this type of movie. I give it a D.

    Wow, do not waste your time

    An Oscar should be given ... to whoever can sit through this movie.

    Seriously, some of the worst acting I have ever seen. I do not know how this movie could have been worse, the sound and scene editing was off and the story was 1) not backed up, 2) ruined by the distractingly bad acting, and 3) made worse by the thought of attempting to make you care about the actors.

    I've seen over 1300 movies, this one makes me wish I was blind. Do not even attempt to give it a chance.

    I'll put it plainly, if you were going to make a drinking game out of the amount of "OMG this is horrible" moments ... you would be wasted at the 20 minute mark.

    Painful to watch

    I was duped into watching this film by some of the good reviews I read. They are false. I was expecting a 'made for cable' 2nd rate quality movie. This thing is 4th rate. The Pro's are that it is in English and does not require subtitles. The background music is tolerable. The credits were displayed in an attractive font. The actors appear to know their lines, and the crew members do not walk into the scenes.

    Aside from that, this film is about as bad as you can get without being so bad that it is funny in an ironic way.

    Don't waste your time. Do not believe any reviews over 2 stars. I wish I knew of something equally bad to compare it to, but I cannot remember the last time I saw something this bad.

    • Trivia
      Jacob appears to be using a kendo style of sword fighting, most likely okuri-ashi. This style of fighting is meant for short or enclosed distances. The way Jacob uses his sword is purely a stylistic choice.
    • Goofs
      When Sarah and Jacob cross the water they are knee deep. Moments later they are approaching the covered bridge and the bottoms of their trouser legs are not wet.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Michael: June 17th. It has been several months since the death of my wife and daughter. I ask God every day why they were taken from me with one swift blow. I've begun smoking again - an invitation for death with arms wide open. I feel more alone in this world than ever before.
