Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

American_Dawson This flick has become a cult classic at my school due to it's uber-stupidity. The plot, or so it is, has to do with a bunch of teenagers on a road trip to who cares when their car gets attacked by a swarm of very phony looking locusts or something (if you watch close enough there is a cut where the characters are swatting and squirming and screaming but there aren't actually locusts in that cut. Ooops)and they get in an accident. When they wake up, they are in some kind of remote school or, excuse me, "not a school. Just an academy for troubled youths". The teenagers spend the rest of the movie either getting killed in hilarious, Sananistic-cult-type-ways or trying to escape, but you won't really care about the plot, you will be too pointing out all of the continuity issues, plot holes, and goofy lines.Take for instance, two of the characters (their names, like the plot, are inconsequential) are supposed to be siblings, but one has a southern accent (some of the time) and the other one is definitely British. The blood looks like strawberry Gatorade and the gore looks like diced beef--there is a scene where a character gets sucked into a wood chipper thats especially laugh-inducing--and you'll notice that the beginning shots of the movie have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the move.The closest this movie gets to genuinely creepy is a part were a girl is talking about impaling while sharpening a long wooden stick...but then she cuts a guy's eye open and what looks like jello-o squeezes out and it's back to the laughs.If MST3k was still going, this would be one of their targets. Rent it with other direct-to-video horror stinkers "Crocodile" and "The Glass Trap" and prepare to laugh yourself dumb and feel your brain cells dying.Overall rating: 2 out of 10 p.s. "You're DEAD! I SAW you! You were DEAD!"

slayrrr666 "One of Them" is a pretty mediocre film with a couple decent parts.**SPOILERS**While driving along the highway, Elizabeth, (Kelly Carmichael) and her friends Rick, (Paul Geffre) Trey, (John Patrick Jordan) Jeremy, (Chase Carpenter) and Jessica, (Jessica Stewart) go missing around Marquez Academy. Trina Robinson's, (Marianne Bennett) nephew, Daniel, (Richard Anthony Crenna) decides to go look after finding her gone and goes to the academy, which the local community has a strange suspicion about. As they spend more time at the academy, the more they realize that something doesn't quite mix there with the surroundings. As they start dying one by one, the group finds a dark secret at the academy that shouldn't have been uncovered.The Good News: This wasn't as bad as it could've been. The film really knows how to make an entrance and an exit. It starts out with a girl headed back to her school on the outskirts of a small-town community. She knows that she's being followed. We never find out, and after the girl's boyfriend hangs himself despite her protests and warnings, a very nice stalk scene through a forest that is really creepy. It's a great example of what makes this movie so promising. Mystery and suspense are in great appearance here, as in the previous example and the ending chase through the castle. The mystery isn't fully revealed until very late in the picture, making it even more thrilling as it gets more and more solved as time goes on. A mysterious swarm of locusts also causes a feeling of uneasiness, as it comes from nowhere. It's not exactly clear who the villains are either. While a mysterious boy and girl all decked out in black clothing and a helper are pretty obviously up to no good, there are a couple others who don't make their allegiances too obvious early on. One thing is made clear, though, as it rolls on that there are forces who want to keep them at there for something, but what is never really given until later. There is also some brutal parts mixed in with the suspense. There's a knife through the hand and arm, a knife in the head, a sword through the neck, and several more. It's certainly bloody at the right time and suspenseful when it needs to be.The Bad News: As much as there was stuff that was good, there was still a lot to not like. The most obvious one is the totally incoherent story. It makes no real sense at all, due to it's two main plots going on at the same time are very poorly done and are distracting at the same time. There was too many shifts between them that focusing on one then changing to another one is a challenge. There was also way too many scenes of just wandering around not doing anything and was basically inserted into it just to keep running time up. The voodoo subplot strung throughout might seem tiresome or overused, and with all the other clichés found in it, it basically builds up to the point where you focus more on finding all the clichés more than the plot. The character who was doing good things all throughout suddenly turns bad for no reason, the teens trapped in a place far away from danger, the initial road-trip that starts it off, the usual in-fighting among the teens, and the reluctance to accept the obvious until it's too late are just some of the few examples of the clichés to be found here. They all come together into making this appear to be something that we've seen before. That's the film's worst quality as it seems like any number of films you've seen before.The Final Verdict: Far from being a bad film, this one just suffers from a constant feeling of seen-it-before syndrome. It's not the most original film out there, but if looked at on it's own, it's pretty decent. If that doesn't bother you, this isn't a bad film, but take caution if it doesn't appeal to you.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language

hotsue1104 I really like this movie,but I am trying to figure out who sings the song "voodoo woman" that was sang at the end of the movie, I can't find it online... I thought it was sung by someone named reed... any help? I really like this song and am going out of my head looking for the dam thing! I also thought that the movie has it's own unique genre, of course I am a huge fan of horror but there are so many different ones out there... too bad this movie was low budget and didn't get a lot of credits... I think it's because when you look up the title of the movie, it comes up with 3 different ones... the title was too common and overused!

ghoulieguru When they came up with the title, if the filmmakers meant the seemingly endless stock of poor genre films that are being pumped out in the wake of digital film-making, then this is indeed "one of them". This cheap, irritating and boring "horror" film tries to be a combination of Final Destination and the Skulls. Viewers are treated to horrible lighting and dismal video quality. The plot, such as it is, concerns a bunch of teenagers who are being hunted by other dead teenagers. I wish I could be more specific, but the story was so confusing and badly written that I am hard pressed to tell you what this movie was about. I just wish that I had bypassed this one altogether.
