11-11-11 (2011)
REVIEWER RATING:
5/10
After tackling a few Saw sequels, Repo! The Genetic Opera and the Mother's Day remake, writer/director Darren Lynn Bousman now attempts to make his mark in the religious horror sub-genre with 11-11-11, a film loosely based on the 11-11 phenomenon, which many believe to be linked to key events in history and others a sign of mystical powers or a supernatural presence. I wanted to like this film as it offers an interesting storyline and seemed to have potential
in this sea of unoriginal genre projects, but it just failed to deliver in many aspects, and those familiar with similarly-themed efforts will find its climax to be incredibly predictable.The story focuses on Joseph Crone, a writer who recently lost his wife and child after one of his crazed fans sets fire to his home. As if matters couldn't get any worse, Joseph gets into a car wreck, but despite his suicidal urges to end his own existence, somehow makes it out with barely a scratch. Immediately following the accident, he receives a call from Spain about his dying father, compelling the writer to make a trip out there in hopes of seeing the man before his passing.

The movie gained notoriety over the years as a "lost film" since its one and only broadcast on Nickelodeon back in October 2000. Rumor is that parents complained to the network about it being "too scary" and "inappropriate" for younger viewers, after which it was never seen or heard from again. That is, until recently when footage was found and made available online. Naturally genre fans such as myself flocked at the chance to catch the now recognized name, but does it really live up to the "hype" that surrounded its disappearance?
Sadly no, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
trash, but damnit, if I still didn't find it completely awful. In fact, the awful factor was the only thing that actually kept me watching.
a strange and seemingly deserted old town. After a couple odd encounters with an evil truck(??) and a and crazy red-haired waitress, they come to the conclusion that things aren't alright in the town. Their suspicions are confirmed when they come across a NASA Scientist (yeah right), who reveals that a space station that carried a malevolent alien organism crashed nearby and it's keen to taking over human hosts and turning them into violent psychopaths.
early works of Full Moon will definitely notice the same look and feel from Spellcaster, and it's very much as cheesy as you'd come to expect from a Charles Band-produced feature.
mysteriously disappearing and dying in unnatural ways. It's soon revealed that their deaths are the work of a strange man who can control their fates via a crystal ball.
