11/11/11

The Asylum's movies are mostly terrible(there are a few tolerable ones though), so there was little surprise that 11/11/11 would be too. There is something compulsively watchable in how bad their movies are, hence the watching of them despite knowing how they'll turn out. 11/11/11 is a cheap-looking movie for starters. The editing at best is choppy, there is nothing dynamic about the lighting and the special effects are laughably fake, almost as if it took 5 minutes and less than $5 to construct. And the gore needs to be mentioned, as the blood was more melted jam than blood. The sound effects and music are generic and sluggish, forgettable also in every way. The dialogue has enough awkwardness and cheesiness to make your head hurt, and the story is terminally dull being too obvious and predictable to be scary, thrilling or suspenseful. The characters are not likable or interesting in the slightest, the direction is amateurish and has no distinctive style and the actors can't act their way out of a paper bag, that's how painful it was to watch them. In conclusion, a terrible movie, to be avoided and only to be seen just to see if The Asylum make another atrocity or a watchable movie. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I'll try be brief. And I think I can do that.

There was some moments I liked, but most of the movie was just copy of many cliché. We've seen that types of Satan sect/legend stories many times, so, I thought, maybe this could be something else. It was, actually. But in wrong way.

It has some good ideas, but all those failed at realization, just before they could be expanded more. Characters were interesting, and actors played them well, but their screenplay decisions couldn't make me believe that person could act this way. Not mention disbelieving CG effects and action scenes. Ending could be interesting even more, but it has something in itself.

Sorry, but we need something better than this adaptation of Satan-revival story.

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

I don't usually mind movies being a little rough around the edges but this one was just terrible. I felt like the producers just said "meh, that will do." and released it without any thought about detail or quality. The visual effects were not just poor but offensive, the plot had huge holes in it (more holes than plot) and the choices made during the story were just insane by any standards. The most annoying part about the whole thing is the ending - or lack of one. The story wasn't wrapped up, we have no idea what happened to 90% of the characters in the movie, and it just plain made no sense. In short I would not recommend this train wreck of a move to anyone.

Jack and Mellisa Vales soon suspect that the 'spooky' coincidences that occur at their new house could have to do with their son, who also might happen to be Satan. Or the person that founded the Asylum movie company, they're pretty indistinguishable from each other.

It's an Asylum film, so telling you that it's cheap, badly acted, or obscenely tedious would be an exercise in redundancy. To be perfectly blunt, I no longer really blame them for releasing an unending putrid stream of cinematic atrocities. They must make money from some gullible sap out there. Having instant Netflix,however, I don't waste my money, just my time (which is also a travesty in its own way)

My Grade: F+
