Interesteg What makes it different from others?

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Jon Doe It is obvious that this movie went over a lot of heads here at IBMD as a lot of horror tends to do. Myself, I like a good B movie scare fare especially ones that aren't just trying to not take themselves seriously and be silly as we have enough of those in the B movie world. This is a dark movie and I admit the first time I watched it I fell asleep because I was stoned. I almost wrote the movie off, but after deciding to give it another try before deleting it off my hard-drive, I was happy to see an above par B movie that just misses being a gem. Right off the bat, I hate people who make their life missions to compare movies to other movies and claim thievery. Even if the similarities are so small its ridiculous to make the assumption. Let me clue you guys something: Everything you watch is going to have tiny similarities to another movie you have seen, thats just the way it is so get over yourself and spare the rest of us your very (un)clever assumptions.To start off this movie is highly original. If you read my reviews you will know I'm not pretentious so you won't ever get any spoilers out of me, but I will give it to you straight. This movie follows some characters who are playing with evil via Ouija board, to get what they want out of life. Some are using it for love, others for their own evil means.First of all, I have to say that a lot of people won't like this movie because it requires a certain taste and only targets genre fans. It is nothing like Hellraiser as some would like you to think, but i'll give them this you may like this film if you liked Hellraiser, but then again you may not. The similarities are sparse to say the least, but if you like to reach, I guess some of the premise and demons are "hellraiserish". But no, this movie is very independent in its storyline and any similarities to other movies are not worth the examination as it goes in its own direction. I give this movie an 8(though it only deserves a 6 maybe a 7) to help bring it out of the slump that naysayers have put it in. I wish that IBMD could find away to keep non-genre fans off the page or have a Genre fan vote because the ratings here are a real disappointment and this movie is for a specific audience so I wonder why some people would even watch it if its not to their likings. I mean I wouldn't go over to "The Bodyguard" with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner and trash it because its not my style of film. Even though some people(including myself) actually have the gift of seeing a movies qualities even if its not their taste. That is how I would describe this movie. Definitely not for everyone, but I really liked it and everything in it: Acting, effects, scenery, etc are believable taking into account the limited budget. The movie is deserving of a better rating.

gavin6942 An off-world look at the superstitious repercussions of tattooing an Ouija Board on your body. Hagen, who has a dead wife believes that he can revive her from the dead. Travis, a man who lost his brother and wants to join him in the afterlife. Morbius, a bartender who is betrayed by those he loves comes back from the dead to take revenge. And a strange man only known as Mr. Skinny protects the secrets of the Ouija Board and how the stories weave and affect each other. (summary taken from the director) Let me begin by praising this film before I explain why I gave it a mediocre rating. The best thing I can say is that this film has strong visuals, some appearing too quick to really analyze... but this works well, allowing the imagination to fill in the gaps. If there's a single redeeming part, it's the Mr. Skinny Show, especially the bouncing ball suicide song... who else can sing about the Easter bunny and sodomy? Also, there is a really nice score and soundtrack with a steady beat, and some industrial influences (not unlike Charlie Clouser's "Saw" work). I'm unclear who was responsible for this, or I would single them out... the music here deserves to be heard and be known.But yet, despite the great visuals, other parts come across as shot with home video, with too much shadow and realism. The first ten minutes drags on... the barbershop janitor, Hagen (Santiago Craig), is quite boring, and his droning on is simply blah. On the other hand, the character of Travis (Chad Grimes) is interesting, talks smoothly and he has the look -- if anyone knows how to open the gates of Hell, it's him. His side business is fascinating. But one good character does not make up for a bad one.The influences seem to be "Saw" and the work of Clive Barker. The skin map is kind of like Clive Barker's "Book of Blood" in a way, and others have compared this film to "Hellraiser". The plot is a bit sketchy, with the film focusing more on scenes of torture than much else... it seems heavily influenced by "Saw" with its traps (and the aforementioned music). While more artistic, it's not necessarily more disturbing -- a finger cutting scene did not faze me at all.Can you really use ketamine (Special K) to get off heroin? I suppose it's an improvement, but a ketamine addiction is nothing to sneeze at, either.While the visuals were great, the story was messy and dragged at times... I wonder if this could be fixed with the right editor? I would have to give this film a second viewing to properly review it, since I didn't grasp everything the first time through. But, unless my opinion radically changes, I think viewers would be perfectly safe in avoiding this title.

hinesgtrservice Necromentia takes from the horror genre as a whole and nearly steals from the great mind of Barker. The film isn't without it's individual style or creativity, though; the art style and atmospheric sets were very effective in creating the mood. The plot definitely holds your attention as well.The largest issue I found was that their time line simply did not work. There are basically three main characters whose fates ultimately intertwine throughout the film. In the often backwards form of storytelling here, two of the big events somehow happen 11 months apart and at the same time. Yeah, it didn't make sense. Perhaps the writers just forgot that they told you certain things happened 11 months prior to the opening scene, but things could not have happened the way they did in this movie. I won't get into it, because it will make your head hurt, but the way they laid the time line out just does not work. I'm a huge Barker fan and I really think that Hellraiser has been the finest example of well- done horror since it's release. This certainly takes from that, but comes nowhere near. The premise certainly is interesting, and the characters are interesting. A few of the characters in hell are just cliché and goofy - the gas mask guy standing out as a complete fail. Bottom line is that this film actually had some potential, but poor acting, sloppy and forgetful writing and a few poor visual choices prevent this film from being a recommendation. Don't listen to the people telling you it's great, it's most definitely not.

xspz Woow.!!!The Funniest movie i have seen..Its so funny that @ the end you feel like throwing away the monitor.The horror stuff was real funny,a ghost or a monster with metal equipments who sometimes suddenly starts eating human flesh.I think it is a movie for high thinkers as it was no where near my head.The pig head man seemed to be a suicidal ghost. I had to fast forward in the middle,so i am not sure if i missed something real good..Sorry folks(for those who liked it).I found it funny rather than scary.Specially those inspired glimpse and scenes from Grudge,Ring etc.Anyway you can watch and laugh for a while before you break the TV Set.I am rating is 3 because it made me laugh for sometime..
