The Legend of Jack and Jill

When you start watching some independent movies that were done on a small budget they are not going to be great. Especially horror films which are a much loved genre. I always remember cheapness such as The Wicker Man. Of course, this became a cult classic made on a shoe string budget. One could easily class The Ritual as a great piece of horror movie making on a cheap budget. So it's fair to say that you shouldn't judge a horror movie by its bank balance. That being said, The Legend of Jack and Jill absolutely takes the biscuit when it comes to utter rubbish. By the way, the original nursery rhyme originates no later than the early 18th century, Not this century as the movie suggests. I watched this movie due to Netflix giving it a very respectable 4.3 out of five.

Lets move forward.

The music score is annoying and dreadful.

The makeup is even worse than the music score.

All the adult actors are pitifully bad.

I won't pick on the cameo by the two kids as this was the best acting in the entire movie.

The story line was a joke.

Whoever wrote the script might want to rethink their career.

The characters were stereotypical. Either the women never thought to pick up a weapon and for some stupid reason always ran into one of the killers.

The men were even more stupid and at points in the movie, apparently deaf.

The side story was boring and pointless.

And finally, the best part of this movie was when the credits started rolling.

I really look for some good in a movie, even if I don't care for it. Be aware, there is nothing good lurking in the depths of this one.

The very best thing I can say about this movie is, please don't get it mixed up with the 2011 Jack and Jill which is a comedy starring Adam Sandler.

Couldn't handle the overuse of the word 'babe' and the awful acting.

Maybe I'll try again another time, but the first murder was subpar and I didn't want to waste my time if it wasn't gonna get better.

Only watched 30 minutes of it and I'm going to watch the rest without a daubt.

Being from Manchester I'm assuming this flick was made in the north west, not just by their accents but by the area.

I just love bad films and this one is well on track. I thought Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. It's like it's supposed to be set in Arkansas or Louisiana with hillbilly murderers on the loose.

It's crap and I love crap movies.

The naysayers are at it again. As I've said before, I am screaming it now. They claim to scrutinize these reviews, well I wish they would stop including the ones that say, they only watched 10, 20, or 30 minutes then they turned it off. They then proceed to write a nasty review, telling everyone to stay away and not to waste their time. This is a B movie. It's not well written, not well acted, but if those things weren't there, it wouldn't be a B movie. I gave it a 5 but there are a lot of unrealistic things in this movie that make if a little far fetched lol. Two little kids living in the woods alone prepubescent till adulthood killing all who wandered in. Watch for yourself, then come and pen your own review. Nuff Said Mike Out.

I have seen worse films. The cinematography wasn't the worst. I'm not really a fan of taking a trope and creating something that has absolutely no alignment with it other than its location or namesake. I suspended a fair amount of disbelief when watching films but this film made that exceptionally difficult. There was no explanation for anything and shooting it art house style seems like an excuse to cover bad writing with visual metaphor. I just kept watching it for no other reason than sunk cost and an abundance of free time. I enjoy many low budget thrillers and as is said this isn't the worst I've consumed but it's bad enough for me to write this review.
