I was basically dragged to this movie by one of my friends and didn't really want to see it that badly. That might have affected my vote slightly, but it doesn't change the fact that I didn't enjoy this movie.I was never scared, or even tense. I was barely even interested.The only time I jumped was only slightly because there was a loud noise, and I had completely zoned out, it was almost like being asleep and someone grabbing you to wake you up. Not the type of scare a movie would want.
The movie had a terrific premise, but something went wrong with the execution. The acting was decent at best. The ending was pretty good, but by the time it got there, I no longer cared about what was going to happen. The movie was incredibly predictable, and we pretty much knew what was going to happen. Two of my friends figured out the ending (basically)within about 10 minutes.
That's not saying this is the worst horror movie ever, but it was certainly not great. By today's standards, it was good. But today's standards are incredibly low, and most teens today do not know a good movie. They are taught to believe that stupid movies are good, then good movies go over their heads. I've seen movies that have truly scared me, and if I want good horror, I shall watch them. But I will not watch this again.
I suggest, if you really want to see it, wait till it is in a second run theater if you have one. If not, wait till it's on DVD and rent it. It's not worth the price of a theater ticket.

I first saw this movie a couple of years ago. I liked walking around blockbuster and renting movies that had cool boxes. That's not always the best way to do it, but in this case, it was. The Eighteenth Angel is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The plot turns are exquisite, and i just loved it when I discovered the meaning of the title. I don't want to give away to much but I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has not seen it.
