What was I really expecting, Looking at the title. The title really says it all there is gore and there is magic not too much of a story and the little there is hardly makes any sense. It’s a shame I like the cast who are all actors I like but they are all wasted figuratively and literally with this film.
This is a ugly film it’s one I can truly say did not need to be thatgoes double since it is a remake. With the cast you could have gone and gotten a good script and made a play that was more entertaining. This is so far at the top of my list of the worst of the year.
There is a mystery in this movie that is pretty easy to figure out. That they try to sensationalize. Not that you will too much about the outcome. Jeffrey Combs is hardly recognizable in this film. The film also seems to be gory and disgusting just for disgusting sake.
It’s a joy to see Crispin Glover and Joshua Miller all grown up sharing the screen for the first time since “River’s Edge” but they could have found something better then this.
The Film is pretentious for even suggesting that anything in this is art or performance. Just like the Stylistic touch of having the lead and those around him dress and live in 1930’s style. Though still set in modern day half the time the film is so dark it’s hard to make out what is happening anyway.
The only real thing of note is that the suicide girls all play victims in this movie in states of undress.
