Did you people see the same film I saw?

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

i love horror movies and Corey Feldman. Corey Feldman is a talented actor that has been in a ton of great movies. Corey Feldman is able to play a variety of characters and seems like he would be an awesome person to hang out with (especially if he is as funny in person as he is in so many of his movies). so I thought for sure this would be a good movie.. But it turned out to be a little disappointing, and no it's not the cheaper quality of the movie. For a B horror movie 6 degrees of hell is not that bad but it is not a Corey Feldman movie and shouldn't be advertised as such. Having only a small minor role Corey Feldman is barley in this movie.

6 Degrees of Hell (2012): The Good, the Bad and the Feldster Synopsis: As a tale told to a paranormal investigator through a police officer that experienced it, the movie follows the intertwined stories of an owner of a haunted house attraction, a psychic, a different paranormal investigator and demons possessing a multitude of people to try to break through to this world.The Good: It's really hard to find good things about a movie when it's script and story is a convoluted mess. I mean, I think we all knew going into this movie that it was a second or third tier horror movie. After all, when top billing is Corey Feldman, the writing is on the wall. That said, there was some decent production value here. The haunted house attraction as a set piece was nice. The last 20 minutes or so of the movie taking place in the house had pretty decent make-up effects and captured a somewhat creepy atmosphere by mixing actors crucial to the "story" with people who were simply there for the attraction (also some form of actors, I'm sure). This film tries really, really hard and there was some part of me... way deep down, that felt bad for it. I wanted to like the movie. Sadly, it made no sense... which brings me to the Bad....The Bad: It made no sense... lol. Simply put, this movie had far too much ambition and badly botched the execution. They threw every horror cliché at the wall and just hoped something stuck. You had possessions, implied ghost stories, zombies, possessed artifacts, killer dolls, satanism, haunted houses, clairvoyance and the list goes on and on. It's actually more ridiculous than I just made it seem, which is pretty darn bad. I've seen a LOT of bad horror movies. Cheap ones with no budget, all the way to major label releases and I've learned one thing along the way: don't try to do too much if you aren't sure you can execute the idea properly. I'd rather watch a one-trick pony do that one trick really well than a pony that can't do any of the six tricks it tries to perform. No budget? No worries. Just have a good, simple idea and execute that one idea. This movie? Good Lord. It tries to weave so many story lines and subplots that it just confuses itself. I found myself scratching my head thinking, "Did I miss something? Am I just not smart enough to follow along? Did I nod off and miss a major plot point?" By the end of it, I realized that it was just a mess and there was nothing I could do to salvage the wreck. I certainly wasn't going to watch it again to see if I could find some semblance of cohesion in it all. I think the idea is that all these random occurrences, visions, clues, etc. would all be tied up neat and tidy at the end. Guess what? They didn't. We got left with a bunch of random junk that makes us feel like we missed something, when in fact, it's simply that the director/writer outsmarted himself. It's something we find a lot in these small, independent films: arrogance. In addition, the acting was pretty poor (especially Mr. Feldman) and the dialogue was as expected... which is bad, in case you couldn't figure that out. In the end, small budget, poor directing and script, poor actors, poor execution and confusing story made for a poor and confusing viewing experience.The Feldster: As other reviewers have stated, the top billing Corey Feldman gets is a bit of a sham. His part in this movie was likely filmed as an afterthought to try and drum up some marketing hype. He plays a paranormal investigator who is listening to the unfolding story being told by a police officer. He's got about 5-10 minutes of screen time. And given that part of the story is already about a paranormal investigator, it doesn't work as anything more than a shoved-in-your-face cameo of a has-been. It's just as well though. I don't know what happened in this guy's life between Stand By Me and now, but one thing is completely certain... he's lost his acting chops. What's that? Oh yeah, drugs. I guess that's what happened. It's a nice throw-back to see him though. I mean, on the bright side, we get to see what he's has been up to all these years, right? His hair is still in the early Nineties and he's switched over to fake cigarettes, so that's something, I guess...

This entire 90 minute film screams "cheap long commercial" for the haunted house featured so prominently in the film. It has a dishonest marketing gimmick of giving Corey Feldman top billing, although he is only in the movie for about 2 minutes. Smart way to try to sell a film, not a smart way of impressing viewers. The rest of the cast is amateur to its core. Lead June (Nicole Cinaglia) cannot hold the movie and her acting is stiff, unbelievable, and downright awful. However, the worst acting in the film is done by Kelly (Ashley Sumner), who appears to have only been in movies by this writer (not surprising). Her acting is awkward and uncomfortable to watch. Luckily, she is only in the film for about 5 minutes. The same is true for the sheriff (Faust Checho). This was a good choice. Kellen (Joe Raffa) is a believable bad guy, but his acting is also below average, likely because he took on too much by acting in and directing this film. I don't know why, as director, he decided to feature himself so much. It brought the film down. Based on the rough cuts between scenes, he also should have stayed away from editing. Chris (David J Bonner) is mediocre and forgettable. The only decent acting in the film is done by Brian Anthony Wilson and Davy Raphaely. In my opinion, they should have been given bigger roles in the film, and everyone else - we should have seen less of them (this includes Feldman). They would have accomplished more with hiring a better cast and crew, and not having Feldman. Regardless of the cast, perhaps a more seasoned cast still couldn't have saved this film. It is confusing, and the boring performances don't help you pay enough attention to watch what is happening. The script was far below average and, based on the level of profanity, I'd say it was written by someone in their teens. There are flat out incorrect uses of terms and words that make you laugh. There is too much going on to follow, and it seems like the writer tried to cram 20 bad movies into 1 very bad one. Finally, I wouldn't have classified this as a horror movie. The only "horror" scenes were clearly added after the fact on a very very cheap camera when the maker likely realized it didn't have enough gore to be sellable to its target audience. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone with half a brain who likes a good story OR who likes a good scare. On this budget, which is higher for "low budget films," they should have delivered on a lot more - even the cinematography, SFX, and sound mix screams amateur hour.

I have to agree with the person below about Feldman it's not the 80's and he really is a bad actor. The title should be 6 degrees or boring people to death because the plot was bad really bad but without giving a spoiler out I can't say more.But let me address the Corey Feldman thing. This film is being marketed as "Corey's Feldman's Six Degrees of Hell". He has little to do with the film, so this is a marketing gimmick. And, surely, he is the biggest name attached to the project, so that makes sense. But here is the problem: people who are not die-hard horror fans probably will not see this. And those who are have a general dislike of Feldman. Anyone who has met him knows he is an arrogant little man.But is he any good? I suppose if you want to see him with bleached 1990s hair smoking a fake cigarette, then yes. He really has no part in the story and interacts with only one other actor.
