Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Woodyanders A motley bunch of young college news students check out the mysterious town of Acheron, a weird hamlet that's located in a remote fog-shrouded woodland area. They discover that not only is Acheron populated by an array of deadly and unrestful spirits who come out at night, but also that the ungodly place feeds on people's sins, wickedness, and deepest desires. Writer/director Tom Lewis concocts an effectively eerie and inspired take on the standard ghost town premise: he creates a strong and compelling creepy gloom-doom atmosphere which becomes more progressively unnerving and nightmarish as the plot unfolds, relates the intriguing story at a steady pace, further spices things up with a few modest lashings of grisly gore, and delivers one doozy of a surprise jolting ending. The capable acting from an appealing no-name cast rates as another substantial asset, with especially praiseworthy work by Brandon Largent as the decent, amiable Todd Harding, Laura Mazur as the troubled Courtney, Kathryn Carner as the bitchy Amber, America Young as the ruthlessly ambitious Misty, Tyler Lassiter as scruffy slacker Ruben, and Richard Kinsey as a sinister preacher. Royce Allen Dudley's sharp cinematography and Carlos Vivas' moody, spooky score are both on the money solid. Only some dodgy CGI effects detract a bit from this otherwise sound and enjoyable horror sleeper.

dorotka24 I don't know why I keep trying these movies at the video store. The cover and story are intriguing, and I am irrevocably drawn to it in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, this one will be different than the mountains of B schlock that I've seen in the past. But alas, it just never happens.This is one more on the pile of practically worthless movies I've seen that have a great idea, but extremely poor execution. I am a horror fan, and love the premise of ghosts, haunted towns, and other supernatural elements in a movie when handled well. The acting from the first frame was unconvincing and amateur, and proceeded throughout. Suspense was typically minimal and most of the "horror" moments were handled very sloppily. I will never grasp how such crap can manage to get funded. The producer(s) must take out a second mortgage or something else dire, and then roll the dice and hope that enough schmucks will shell out their hard earned cash to gobble up their vile stew. Hey, Blair Witch sucked and it made money, right? I must digress a moment and say that there were a few decent scare moments here and there, maybe one good gore bit to keep it from being a complete waste of one and a half hours of my life. It was also interesting to see a host of a show I enjoy called "Cities of the Underworld" on the History Channel have a bit part here. But these fleeting moments do not make the experience worthwhile. If you must submit yourself to this "film," and I use the term loosely, then get it for $0.50 at Family Video. Or just forget it and look for something that's bound to be better.

AAChaoshand This movie pretty much consists of a good idea but crappy development. Underfunded made this movie a big POS but anyway on with the review. This movie is about a group of story go-getters that want to get the biggest story of all and have pictures for proof of its existence. Their after a town called Acheron which apparently everyone died in. The town is out in the middle of nowhere and a few random people just appear out of nowhere and begin taking a role in the movie. But before you can even fathom how it ends let me tell you how it begins, a girl gets a gun to her head by some freako that said he saw this town, which they didn't even know what it was then. This movie pretty much isn't worth the 7.95 I paid for it, fund it better and make a new one with a real director and it might be worth your time.

Cabbagetown Some college kid reporters go off in search of a hidden ghost town called Acheron. Naturally they find a bit more than they bargained for. After a good start the movie gets pretty bogged down. During the first half it's kind of hard to figure out much about what's really going on, it just plain jumps around too much. There are flashbacks that don't really help since they just sort of pop up out of nowhere. The last half hour or so picks up nicely as people are getting knocked off left and right in very violent fashion. You're gonna have to watch this sucker twice to actually enjoy this flick. That way you'll have some idea where the plot is going. Watchable if you like blood and guts. I give it a four out of ten for gore.
