A Gruta

I watched this hoping all the way through that it would get better. I love B movies but, some of the ones I've seen lately are trying to change my mind. The acting was bad, the storyline was weak and no horror. The Church was the phenomenal.

One extra star for scenery of the cathedral, which others have also praised. Other than that, not much else to give positive input on. It is so bad that you might have fun inviting friends over for a good laugh while getting lit.

First off, if you're watching it on Amazon Prime like I did, it does help to adjust it to the original Brazilian with subtitles, because the English dub is reeeally bad. Or if you're going for the fun of it, definitely watch the dubbed version.

This mess is supposed to be horror and I suppose by some stretch it could be classified as such. Is there a genre for just dumb? Anyway, we go back and forth between the backstory of a group of spelunkers touring a grotto, to a hospital where the one survivor is being questioned by a nun and a really creepy woman detective and to a beautiful cathedral. The scenes in the grotto are so mind numbingly stupid...so incomprehensibly bizarre...so headscratchingly hilarious-all while being performed by awful actors having to recite a terrible script-that you simply don't know whether to laugh or just yell expletives at the screen.

What's this film even about? I DON'T KNOW! What's it trying to say? NOT A CLUE! There is nothing good to say about this movie...except for the cathedral.

A grudging 2/10.

I'm not even sure what message this movie was trying to convey. It really spoke of some sort of cult living beneath a church. Faith was in question. It wasn't really scary and didn't seem to make much sense. 3/10.

I stumbled upon this movie on Prime, just wanting to watch a horror movie. It's horror alright, but not for the right reasons!! Cheap jump scares, typical horror tropes, predictable story, terrible acting make this movie a waste of time. One mistake I did was, not to check the movie's reviews, and that proved costly to me. An African legend that was supposed bring fear in your nerves, turned out to strike my funny bones !! Some of the scenes were so bad that you will notice the lazy production level. Character arc was never in the dictionary of these makers. Probably, it was made for local audience but why not go for a story that is well rooted in their culture. Just plain and simple bad !!

Don't watch this movie if you can help it. It's the worst movie I've ever seen. Seems to have been made by amateurs. There is not one single redeeming feature and the plot - if you can call it a plot, well, perhaps a mini-plot- is beyond all credibility. Seems a mockery of every type of serious plot in this genre. Loads of inexplicable and unexplained things happen.

I gave it 0 of 10. I never gave such a low rating. After a few minutes I started advancing the frames just to know if there was any plot to this at all and how it might end. So I probably wasted half an hour of my life, but at least not the whole hour and a half plus.
