It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

I just want to highlight the extremely low quality of the background scenarios. Anyone paid attention to the plastic weeds on the walls? The ivy leaves were as petrified as the walls of the filming set, which was far from realistic. The stone ladder was designed by somebody who knows as much architecture as me. I had to do a real effort to continue seeing this film after the scene in which all the filming crew rush in a total disorder after a death of one of their work partners. People were dying in front of the eyes of others, but nobody was concerned about them! Moreover, they not even try to save their lives in any way. A total lack of sensitivity. I even feel that this is an absolute lack of respect for people suffering from some kind of mental illness and cancer as well. This film deserve to be in the top ten of worst horror films ever.

I'm somewhat used to indie-films zipping around from past to present to dream sequences and back to any combination of the above. But this movie was just plain dumb. A legend says gypsy girl is killed due to a pact with the devil. A silent film maker tries to make a film about the legend, he disappears. A modern day film maker decides to try again, turmoil ensues. The plot is so contrived in the first 15 minutes that I lost interest. Then, people started beating each other up for no apparent reason, then people started dying. People that I really didn't care about, people who were so uninteresting that I started wondering who they were. Oh yeah, they were the people working on the movie, but no one had a back-story, besides the director, who, all you figured out was that he was a whack-doodle. Don't think I'm giving away any major plot points, but I always put a spoiler alert just to be on the safe side. Rent it or watch it "on demand," but don't waste your money buy it.

I originally picked this movie to watch after reading the plot. It seemed different from most movies so I thought I was seeing something new that would grab my attention. When getting the movie home, I read the reviews on here and saw it was a "bad" horror film. Still, I took my chances.I can see why many do not like this film. There is no definite beginning or end, leaving you to question the purpose of the entire movie. The plot seems to change focus from the movie production to the mental state of the producer.Let it be known, this is NOT a horror movie. There are "intense" images placed in scenes without much thought (i.e. the flashbacks the main character gets). The idea is probably to shock the viewer when they least expect it. The "gore" in the movie is less frightening than taking a stroll through the butcher's shop to pick up dinner. I do not understand how this movie is rated R. It lacks the core elements which would make a movie "R" - gore, language, and nudity. This movie is all about the deteriorating mental state of the "producer" inside the movie, which is fun to watch if you're into that kind of thing. The acting was subpar; I think a high school play crew could act the scenes better than the actors hired for this movie. Overall this movie gets a 3/10. They tried and came up short.

There was a time that Japanese or Asian flicks were the next big thing. Gore galore and brutality used was a common thing. Sadly, Hollywood saw the dollars coming in and started to remake most of those flicks, many of them flopped. Even worser, those eastern directors were asked to make Hollywood movies. Bad idea, they are really crap. Here, Fruit Chan, the director couldn't deliver the stuff. And even as the granddaughter of actor, Charles Chaplin, plays in it it really is a dreg. The idea is okay, but done before a year ago in two other films. The movie in the movie, remember The Hills Run Red and Midnight Movie. Here a director would like to remake a movie that was never finished due to, as legends go, evil spirits. Those evil spirits are killing all crew members or anyone involved in the making of the movie. The supernatural is a main thing in this flick but appears too much via CGI. No gore, no nudity, no suspense, no nothing. I would recommend it for teenagers seeking for a good time with a beer and some crisps.
