Summary: Toilet Paper
Review: That's all this dvd was good for, toilet paper. Just a bad bad movie. I gave it a shot because it was new, and now I wish I had saved that shot for my head. Bad acting, bad plot, bad acting, bad special effects, bad audio dubbing, bad acting, bad characters, and did I mention bad acting?Save yourself the agony and pain of watching this and go drive a screwdriver through your hand instead, it will be more mentally stimulating I promise you.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE!!!!!
Review: The cover of this movie was what captured my attention. When I watched it, I was totally satisfied. From the special effects, to the storyline, this movie had everything necessary to keep my attention!!! Not to mention the two cuties.... (Mat Scollon and Ed DeRuiter)

Summary: Good movie but lame special effects.
Review: The flick itself centers around 4 teens at Mar Vista High School. They are outcasts & misfits who find a mysterious stone that gives them magical powers & an evil personna.
Reese, (Anders) is a new student who moves to the school, gets bullied around a bit, then meets the other 3. They go to the woods on a trip together, find the stone laying out in the open, after holding it they each are given special powers. You can see a light in their eyes, a different colored light for each one, then they are transformed into evil personnas.
They go back to school, show off their new personnas, where they do stuff previously they were not capable of. But decide to ditch the stone after a friend of theirs is hurt because of its effect on them.
The music is good, but pretty basic. The camerawork is good, but nothing special. The special effects are lame, you can see how cheaply done this movie is by the lights in their eyes looking like flashlights with colored bulbs, & the light over one of the guys who floats in the air is obviously done by a flashlight. The acting is good enough though to make the movie be very enjoyable. I loved it a lot when I viewed it, but the special effects just keep it as an average b movie.

Summary: A good movie, worth watching.
Review: The movie was good, not great, but nice. The other reviews here seem to be pure fantasy, as nobody slept with anyone, nobody got killed (well, one or two people, but no massacres), and only one of the group becomes truly evil; the rest simply play a few petty pranks. As I said before, it is worth seeing, especially if you've ever been picked on, but it doesn't have the quality one would find in a high-budget production. Oh well, suck it up folks, not every movie is perfect. Anyone who bashes this movie simply because it doesn't have the best camera work, and ignores the plot entirely in their review is a spoiled movie watcher indeed!

Summary: A Satisfied Viewer
Review: The Surge is such a cool movie. Reeses powers are so cool and with me a goth myself I relate to him....well not with the powers but you get the point. I wish I had the healing powers of reese, the telekenesis of Phoebe, the mind reading of Zack, and the mind control of Ashley. Reese could even heal a broken neck! This movie is amazing. You should deffinetly check it out. I did and now I'm obsessed with it. As Ashley would say: "YOU WILL BUY THIS DVD!" lol.

Summary: Could have been better
Review: they had an awesome concept but they did not work it to their full potential. It would have been a lot better if they had all rebelled or been good together. the best scenes were when they were using their powers at school. The special effects were very realistic. It was entertaining

Summary: Forgettable, but really good at the beginning...
Review: This EXTREMELY CHEAP movie is about four kids who get magical powers from some elemental stone--(made by the gods through the ages, yakkity yak)--and then get telekinetic, and sometimes pyrotecnic powers. Now, I like fantasy/scifi movies, and even though the stupid high school acting and personalities were stupid (WAY too much sex and drugs--my high school is NOT like that...)It was interesting. But when it hurts one of their friends, they all say "No more evil powers" except for some school *cough, cough* --(need I say more)?--girl. this is when the movies started to suck. She goes on some totally unbelieveable evil rampage, then tries to kill her *old* friends. she dies....blah, blah, blah, no more evil stone for them.
It was a good movie, up until they all started sleeping with each other and killing each other. still, if you can deal with the 10-year ago '80s like special effects, and the miniscule acting, its worth watching--not buying.
