Not totally ripped from the "Poltergeist". Even the same bloody shots. Also weak story line, why did he burn the book? Why was the book there? How did that tiny bit of smoke make the weak actor go unconscious? Why would a flame cause his tongue to fall out? This is a Michael Bay film, weak plot, plot holes, tones of special effects.
@drummeracealex Haha, I think you've got the wrong perspective on this. This was in no way trying to make a serious film, or even a good one. This was a throwback to German shot-on-video movie from the 80's and 90's, like The Burning Moon and Violent Shit. those films had thin plots and tons of gore, and while I couldn't possibly top those, I still think i captured the atmosphere, to some extent, anyway. It's not meant to be taken seriously.
@ICETEAPRODUCTIONS1 lol, thanks bud! Yeah, this film was little more than an excuse for me to try out some FX I've been meaning to try. Given that they were mostly made out of scraps around my house, I think they turned out rather well :)
@pagliaccinodlemantra Well I think it's pretty harsh to call them "mistakes", but I'll admit that there are some shortcomings. It wasn't a film that required a detailed script since the plot is so simple. The text was added to give a backstory without adding an awkward "history of the cult" scene, which would have been pretty cliche. the text was added to give it a campy feel. I don't know what you mean specifically by bad close-ups and stupid questions, but I'd appreciate further feedback :)
@CandleFlameFilms ok, Bad Close ups cause the camera have so much zoom on actors and stupid question like "where are you" and dont feel it like "HEY MAN, WHERE ARE YOU", the actress is so relaxed and cant take this serious, i dont want to offend her but is a bad actress here.
@pagliaccinodlemantra Those zooms were I guess added to give it an Italian feel, which used a lot of zooms. I tried to give it a bit of that flavour also with the Goblin inspired soundtrack. The dialogue was obviously not well thought out, but this was not a dialogue based film. I' not trying to defend it though, I scribbled it out quickly ;)
@HentschelMartin lol, thanks Martin! And Robin Hood (I think that's the title?) looks like a lot of fun! Man, I gotta get down to Germany and get involved in some of this stuff! lol

2.-BAD CLOSE-UPS
3.-BAD SCRIPT
4.-OVERACTED
5.-STUPID QUESTIONS
The movie is better than Mr Jingles, looks cool but you got to work on that script.
