Rating: Summary: What happened? Review: Fangoria did a spread on the makeup effects, and the images were very cool. I watched them film the demon baby at a warehouse in Houston, and it looked like it was going to be cool also. Something happened. The resulting film is a typical horror story on a very low budget. Nothing to see here. Move along. Overall, I was very disappointed in what initially looked to be a decent horror flick. An aside on the baby: I watched for at least 3 hours as they dropped that baby onto a raised platform and they were still trying to get it to "bounce" properly when I left. These were all nice guys who made an unmemorable film. Still, it's worth watching if you're a horror fan.
Rating: Summary: What more can i say? Review: It was the best movie of all time. WOW! It should have won an award for the Academy.
Rating: Summary: Forever CHEESEY!! Review: Ok, this was one Horrible movie. ... What the hell is a Kothag anyways? Pretty much there was one good scene, the dudes dead woman came back to life to give birth to a freaky demon kid in some weird dream. Special effects were the worst I have ever seen. ... All around bad, don't waste your money like I did unless you like bad no budget movies.
Rating: Summary: A Good Way to Choke on Your PopCorn Review: This movie, trying to incorporate some pieces of Lovecraftian lore into its cheap, brittle storyline, was an utter travesty. Besides having a budget that barely rivaled the popcorn and drink ingested during its showing, its ties to the otherworldly menace, Yog Kothag, and the essentially useless book, The Necronomicon, were simply veiled attempts to bring in viewers. It was, by and far, an insult to my horror-watching eyes. The storyline, if you can call the bumbling plot that the wretched actors follow a story, is as follows: We start with a fortune teller as he reads a client's cards. What he sees frightens him enough that he funnels her money back into her hands (plus thirty dollars), pushes her out the door abruptly to be killed, and then runs into a monster that couldn't rival most Halloween costumes. Cut to a foolish guy, joined by his pregnant girlfriend, his brother, and three others, as they meet at a cabin in the middle of nowhere to discuss his newest invention (an emergency grappling hook that straps to your wrist, the dumbest idea I've ever been privy to). Here, they get drunk, play cards, fire off some banter that does incorporate a bit of humor, and subsequently start the dying one by one. Still, he gets away and is hit by a car, landing himself in the running for the stupidest man alive awards and on the trek to torment some movie watchers. Later, skipping a heap of the bumbling plot, he is joined by a detective that knows something is going on, a lady that also lived through an attack by this presence by hiding under her porch for days, and a one-hundred year old dog that really didn't mean anything in the movie except that there was a way to burn more time. Together they find out that there is a ghost quasar pulsing to the murderous beat of the thing doing the killings, that some monstrous creature named Yog Kothag is trying to come back, that the Necronomicon only has a dozen pages, that you can add a zombie into a movie just because you feel like it, and that a lack of research before you make a movie can always be countered by a good ceremonial dagger. Yes, this movie was bad. If you have to check it out because you have some Lovecraftian completionist need, you'll hate it. If you like cheap horror movies, you'll hate it. I don't even think the people who made it like it.
