| User ReviewChris BA pretty good thinking man's horror movie |
| User ReviewKim -It started pretty slow, but i watched anyway. Not too bad until you get to the end. THAT was pretty stupid, then I wondered why I even stuck it out. 3-31/2 |
| User ReviewRobert BCredo (Toni Harman, 2008) I've gotten a string of pretty crappy low-budget horror flicks recently, and thus Credo was something of a surprise. It doesn't quite get the whole "here's how you set up a twist ending" thing down, but it's well-acted and atmospheric, and it's obvious someone put some real thought into this script. Plot: five friends get kicked out of their London flat after a party turns sour. There's Alice (The Descent's MyAnna Buring), the studious one, who spends all her time cramming for finals; party-boy Jock (The Matrix Reloaded's Clayton Watson), an American exchange student whose antics got them thrown out in the first place; Jazz (The Bill regular Rhea Bailey), Jock's sometime girlfriend; Scott (The Complete Map of the Universe's Mark Joseph), an electronics whiz with a horrible crush on Alice; and Timmy (Just Ines' Nathalie Pownall), Alice's best friend. Alice, of course, retreats to the library instead of looking for another place to stay, but when it closes and she's sitting in an all night coffee shop, she gets a call from Scott saying Jock has found them another place to stay. Turns out he has a friend who does security at an abandoned monastery where, urban legend has it, five divinity students tried to summon Belial, after which four committed suicide (or the demon made it look that way) and the fifth went crazy. Needless to say, there's a reason the place has stood abandoned since... Credo is Harman's only feature film; she normally makes direct-to-video how-to stuff about baby and child care. Which makes this even more surprising, and makes me wonder if I don't give the actors enough credit sometimes for the quality of a film; perhaps as long as you have a competent team behind the cameras, it all comes down to how good your acting talent is. And so you take a low-budget horror film and stock it with competent behind-the-scenes staff and then load up on decent-to-really-really-good acting talent and you come up with something that should really be a winner. For some reason, the Brits seem to excel at this (Long Time Dead and Lie Still immediately come to mind), and Credo is another good example. When it comes right down to it, the effectiveness of the atmosphere was pretty easy to pull off; you just keep things half-dark (thankfully, lighting techs Martyn Culan and Joel Rainsley understand the difference between keeping things dark and making this too murky to actually see; this is little surprise, given that Culpan has recently worked on slightly bigger-budget films like The King's Speech and Four Brothers) and add some spooky sounds and hey, instant atmosphere. What makes it work, or not, is how the characters react to it, and as long as you've got good enough actors, you're gold. Similar, you've got this script, and it's pretty darned good, and you throw bad actors at it, they're going to mess up the timing and delivery and all that jazz. You get actors who can really understand it and, well, you get this. I should mention that a number of people seem disappointed/confused by the ending. You'll need to pay attention, and it is designed to be confusing there for a few minutes, but it makes absolute sense once you think about it. (Hint: take the first sequence at face value, and then pay very close attention to the last spoken line in the film, a flashback to an earlier scene, which explains the entire mechanism.) We're not talking timeless cinema here, but taken for what it is, it's quite good. *** |
| User ReviewSam Squite unimpressed with this film! you'd think with british actors in it, they'd be jumping out of windows or heading for the front door, but completely out of character they are running up the stairs and walking backwards into dark rooms!!!lol maybe the american film industry has got to us!! shame! |
| User ReviewKarl-Johan LIt was quite boring, took a while to get going. Not a great story line. Good directing especially for a low budget. My partner gave up on it but I watched it till the end and regretted it. |
| User ReviewBrian Swhen i saw the trailer i thought it could be a good movie. but after seeing it i was surprised how i got so bored in the beginning 'cause it started so slow... I found the story very intresting but the way the movie was done you'll find it so boring and unprofessional, the directing was soooo bad and the acting too. what i liked the most was the end, it was so stupid and ... just stupid end for a stupid movie.. |
| User ReviewKjetil Haka The Devil's Curse (USA) This UK horror is struggling to get out from under all the cliches and doesn't quite make it. It doesn't help that the story has been done to death in various guises either. A group of five students get kicked out of their accommodation and have to find somewhere to stay for the weekend. One of their friends tells them about an abandoned Catholic college building so they go there. Once inside, one of them realises that this is the building which was closed down after five students tried to summon a demon and four of them committed suicide and the fifth went mad. I could leave it there and you could still work out most of the film. This abandoned building conveniently still has electricity, hot and cold running water, no dampness and no smashed windows, yet strangely no squatters or homeless people have taken advantage of this. Mobile phones don't work in the building but laptops seem to be able to run forever on battery power. I'm sure the demon is to blame for all these weird occurrences. The acting isn't bad but the characters are quite cliched as well; hard working girl, male friend who likes her but can't tell her, party boy, odd girl that turns out to be a secret lesbian and the claustrophobic one that freaks out a lot. They weren't too annoying but they weren't people that you could particularly care about either. There is no gore and only a couple of jump scares which you know are coming but there are a few places where it manages to be a little bit creepy...and I didn't guess the twist so I suppose that must be worth something even if it didn't really add anything to the film. In fact, the weirdest thing about this film was seeing Stephen Gately (ex-Boyzone singer) as one of the original students. I'd recommend it if you can watch it without paying a lot for it because it's OK, just nothing very original at all. |
| User ReviewCarl NPrzepraszam czy w pokoju jest jakis demon? |
| User ReviewChristina EOriginally, I was going to give it two and a half stars. Then I saw the ending, it was a complete cop out. I think the filmmakers conversation went a little like this: Director, "We need a way to end this thing without it costing us a lot of money." Writer, "Well, we could always put in a cliche ending. It will be a complete surprise to the audience because it doesn't fit with the story." |
| User ReviewNet SStarted off with such promise, then plummeted like a stone to the depths of poorness.....fail.....could have tried alot harder! |
