Spirit's Revenge

A fairly boring and occasionally incompetent attempt at horror that never really gets going. If you're hoping for entertainingly bad and weird then you'll be disappointed; only the neil breen-esque tv newsroom crosses the line into the comically inept. If you're hoping for genuinely entertaining horror then how misguided can you be to end up here?

The story revolves around the unrelentingly stupid and terrible zoe and her bland and also very bland adultery boyfriend craig. Before we meet them and their respectively cuckolded spouses we begin the movie with an opening sequence, apparently in 'olden times', where a cuckquean witch ends up possessed by death incarnate. I think. We know it's olden times because the actors are wearing baggy clothing and the walls of the room they're in are covered with brightly colored scarves. I think. The rest of the movie revolves around a pidgin-english-speaking grim reaper terrorizing two idiots via text message and imaginary blood. The two most surprising elements were the inexplicable stunt dummy scenes and craig's use of yahoo mail, surely a more heinous crime than mere adultery.

The amateur cast does an alright job, with a medium level of flubbed lines and hammy delivery. A decent camera was used, was correctly focused and hand-held shots were kept to a refreshing minimum. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the writer had just maybe been cheated on by her husband or boyfriend. Just maaaayybe...
