This is in what I consider to be the lowest possible bracket of horror movies. It was little more than a soft-core fetishist porn. All the actual horror was either sick-out gore horror or sudden startle horror. There were copious amounts of nudity, blood, drug and alcohol use and sexual references (including a sex scene), and the F-bomb was dropped more often than loose change.
The acting was stiff and corny, which takes away from any kind of skill the writers might have had. Sadly, they didn't have much to start with. The plot is weak, the dialogue is forced and completely unnatural, and even most of the scenes seem forced to the point of awkwardness. There's even a random and completely pointless demon orgy at one point, seemingly just for time filler or the 'ew effect'. Even the ending was a complete and utter disappointment.
While there are copious amounts of blood and gore, the special effects are nothing to dazzle. There's little to no CGI to speak of and the blood and gore are so fake looking it's not even funny. The only scary part of this movie, were the monster designs. Even then, the actors and the writers completely destroyed that aspect of the movie.
Now, in my research, I found that this was actually a remake of a 1988 movie by the same name. While I haven't seen the original, I get the impression that this was nothing more than an attempt to use modern special effects to try and improve an already existing story. And as with most movies of this sort, they failed... miserably. I would only recommend this movie if you enjoy very VERY bad horror movies with no real story, plot holes the size of the grand canyon, terrible acting, and lots of blatantly fake gore and bullshit logic.
Overall I give this movie: 3.2 out of 10. And that is being generous. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone for any occasion and I would sincerely like that 93 minutes of my life back.
Happy Haunting!
