11/11/11

Really a pretty bad movie on all levels. Acting... Story.....

I guess the film was shot well there wasn't glitches or anything like that, but a bad story and just not scary or effective at all.

3/10

The very few first minutes were promising enough. From then on - the movie deteriorated: unlikable characters, plot full of holes, irrational decisions of the characters and the ending seems like someone got stuck with the screenplay and decided to wrap it up quickly and go home for dinner (don't get me started on the visual effects, either, which, although not being the main issue here, leave much to be desired). I like endings that makes you think, but in this case, my only thought was "gotta warn others from wasting one hour and a half of their life on this".

I guess my main dissatisfaction with this movie is that the storyline did not make much sense, even for the horror genre.

so... don't.

I started watching this mess and soon found myself rolling my eyes. As a serious horror movie, 11/11/11 undoubtedly fails. The story about a boy being possessed is old hat. The script is amateurishly stupid. By the time of the second death scene I was about to hit the back button and end this madness of a so called movie. A funny thing happened. My wife started laughing. I asked if she was laughing because the movie was so bad. She said she was laughing because the movie was intentionally bad and she found the silliness clever and amusing,

As a camp movie, I think 11/11/11, works..., for awhile. Aurelia Scheppers steals the show as a twisted nanny. The problem is I don't think 11/11/11 is intended to be humorous. The last half an hour is played straight and returns to being a mundane tale about satan worship. The father is on screen the most and his performance is as flat as the sidewalk.

Despite it's obvious flaws, the pace of the movie is fast. There are enough laughs in the middle to make it watchable..., if you view it with tongue firmly in cheek.

And thats all you should need to know about the movie. Asylum is known for making the rip-off movies in hopes that idiots like us will mistake it for the bigger blockbuster version and rent it instead.

I LOVE horror movies big and small but Asylum movies make me vomit in my mouth every time I have the misfortune of watching one. There's ANOTHER movie out there called 11/11/11, BTW,written and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman from the Saw franchise. The reviews on it were mixed and I haven't caught it yet myself but I guarantee it's better than this pile of dung.

Again, I'm not one of those reviewers who doesn't appreciate campy horror movies and then complains that it was awful - I truly love horror movies, particularly the bad ones, (think "Bugs" starring Antonio Sabatao Junior bad) but thanks to NetFlix and Asylum in particular I have learned the hard lesson that there are just some movies that are just really THAT awful.

Anything I've seen by Asylum falls into that lot. You want to see more of their ilk how about "666: The Child" and it's horrible sequel (Damien, anyone?) or EXORCISM: THE POSSESSION OF GAIL BOWERS (Emily Rose? The last Exorcist?) HG Wells War of the Worlds (NOT the War of the Worlds blockbuster you're thinking of!) Halloween Night (Not only does it share the Halloween title it shares the same plot line too)Snakes on a Train...

God, the list goes on and on it gets worse and worse. I'm done ranting now, just thought I'd point it out in hopes I could prevent someone else from renting their god awful movies.

It is really difficult to make such a bad movie as this one, picking scenes and pieces from other better movies and putting them together in such a talentless way must have been a very hard work. I started to watch the movie with some expectation and interest thinking that at some point I was going to be grabbed by the mystery or the action, but the truth is that after the first ten minutes I already realized that I was watching one of the worst movies I have seen. The actors are bad amateurs that do not even manage to make one credible dialogue. The film is inspired in so many old topics and scenes from previously released films that it is not even surprising in any way...the whole thing stinks. Horrible experience. In that sense it is really a horror movie.
