BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

SnoopyStyle Small town of Ellensford, Pennsylvania is suffering from a plague in 1859. Barlett Henry (John Schneider) is made the magistrate and his daughter Hope (Chelan Simmons) starts to suffer from the plague. He performs a spell to create an ogre from all the evil that has befallen the town which must be fed each year. In present time, four friends go searching for the town lost in time. Terry (Kyle Labine) is injured. Jessica (Katharine Isabelle) and Mike (Ryan Kennedy) go looking for help and find the town.It's a TV movie for then Sci-Fi Channel and the special effects look TV cheesetastic. This is kind of like 'The Village' in look and story except there is a real ogre. At least, it's as real as a cheap computer can make it. There is some good cheese value to this and it generally works as a story. I do like most of the actors and they do a serious job. The ogre looks so ridiculous that the last half of the movie grinds down. The action looks horrible. It's bad and funny at the same time.

relgne GREAT STORY and no reviewer looked behind this story and saw the true meaning of this Allegory, except for its physical attributes. Like not be able to see the forest for all its trees. The story tell us, that fear can and must be over come with Courage against the odds. In the movie, Sir Bartlett represented today's establishment and all those, that support it. That lets young man and woman go off to be sacrificed on the altar (stock) of fabricated wars, as a sacrifice to Satan and his minions, under the pretense of security and a benefit to all. The tactic of fear (the Ogre) is used as a ruse to accomplish this, with the threat of a so-called war on terror. Sad, it seems that most viewers have over time bought into this deception.

Aaron1375 This film is one of those original movies by what is now called the SyFy channel. Yes, there are lots and lots of horror movies and science fiction classics from the 1950's through today, but instead of showing them they decide to make the most horrible monsters ever to grace the small screen. I can not believe these bad movies garner larger ratings than the classics, but then who would of thought that "Megashark versus giant octopus" would have been one of the top ten trailers of the year? This one has a setup that I can see what the makers of this film were going for. I kind of think they were sitting around a table and one of them said "let's make a version of the film the Village, but our monster is going to be real". And so they went with it and you the audience will probably not want to go there as the film plods along. The film features a town stuck in the past with the residents living out their days, immortal thanks to a spell put on the town. They will remain immortal as long as they sacrifice one person per year to the evil ogre. Well everything is going fine until a group of young people come across the town and proceed to do all the stupid stuff young people do in these movies. One of which left me rather flabbergasted, as two of them survive this nightmare and for some reason wish to go back. For what reasons I know not, I am guessing it is in fact to pad this film some, but wow what morons.

stormruston I was surprised they showed us the Ogre in the first 15 minutes, pleasantly. That was ballsy considering shrek looks about as real as this CGI discount special. That all said, I decided to suspend belief and judgment and just enjoy the movie. There is a bit of titillating gore to keep us gore people happy and some of the acting is decent. The ogre is in thew movie often and its not dark out...a refreshing change. None of this movie is bad but then again none of it is all that good. Besides the below par CGI (which was forgivable) I have to say the editing was the worst I have seen in some time. The characters were likable and the story fun.Worth while for B movie fans and those who like your Shrek "R" rated.
