Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

E. Catalan I had no idea what I was going to get when I rented LA LLORONA or THE WAILER in English. It deals with a Mexican legend that I've heard very little of, about a woman who drowns her two children in order to have the love of the man she wants. After being rejected by this man, she kills herself. Fast forward in the movie and we have an assortment of horror movie clichés that would be worth mentioning to a film class in order to avoid them! You have the sexy teens looking for a good time, going to a lonely cabin in the woods of Jalisco, in the middle of nowhere, the mandatory bad acting, the explicit (albeit, cheap looking) gore and your mandatory tit scene. In all honesty, the premise of this so called "film" holds promise. It could've been a decent horror movie in the hands of a more skilled director, but this is strictly "amateur" hour. Rent (DON'T BUY!) only in interested in seeing classic horror movie clichés ALL in one movie!

DANCE_inthe_DARK This film was terrible. The acting, the music, just everything about it was so lame. The actors sucked and the plot line sucked and the ending sucked. It was like a porn movie without the porn. Just lame plot lines,dialogue and acting. I do not recommend this movie to anyone. Me and my friend rented this movie from the RedBox (which I do not even know why RedBox would choose this awful movie for it's selections) and laughed the whole way through, simply because it was so stupid! This was a waste of $1.07 and I will tell everyone to not waste their time on this retarded excuse for a movie. The director must have been drunk while directing this film and picking the cast. The only good actress was the one who was left at the end, and she was only good enough to be on a cheap soap opera. Do not waste your time.

fifibeattie In the spirit of Halloween, I rented "The Wailer" and "The Wailer 2" this weekend. I was surprised to see how different the films were compared to each other, both in content and in execution. I had high hopes that "The Wailer" would scare the pants off of me as the DVD artwork was very, very creepy. Sadly, the movie was only mildly scary. The film is based on an old Mexican legend of a woman, La Llorona, who's dead spirit haunts the rivers and lakes as she hunts for her dead children. She also kills people.The drowning of the kids was good and La Llorona's death is sufficiently tragic. But after this initial bit of horror and action, the movie fell flat on it's face. All there is is mindless talking. Some characters you just wish would be killed immediately. But it takes around 45 minutes till the next death! It seems to take forever. Making it worse is some bad acting and some dismal production design.When the deaths start coming during the last 30 minutes of the films, the pace picks up and there are moments of tension. In particular, a scene with Nicole Daniels was scary and gruesome. But there are also scenes and situations that make absolutely no sense what so ever. At one point, everything disappears outside the windows of the house the characters are staying in. All there is is blackness. Why? Did the house enter a different dimension? Or was the evil so thick it envelopes the house? This is never explained.To the film maker's credit, some of the makeup effects were pretty gruesome. The La Llorona character was kinda cool, although I never did understand why she had long, weird claws instead of hands. On the other hand, the sets looked cheap and contrived and the pacing of the film left little to be desired.The ending of the film was okay, although I have to admit that it took "The Wailer 2" to explain to me exactly what happened in the end of "The Wailer". There were some good ideas in "The Wailer" and some inspired moments. It's just a shame that the film couldn't have been more balanced and the characters more likable.

brandeeslc I rented this through the red box machines and thankfully it was a free rental..I haven't watched something this bad since Murder Set Pieces... To begin, the lighting and sounded was horrible. In and out, up and down..slow through the whole beginning, the horror didn't start until way later and when it did, it was very amateur. I hate mentioning people's acting abilities because I know its hard, but this was just not good..overly dramatic, poor dialogue and script..bad makeup for the attacks/deaths...cheesy blacked out windows that no one could escape through..that looked like they had black sheets on the outside of the windows... If your going to make a movie even low budget, it can look way better than this visually..and in every other imaginable way...don't bother with this one if you enjoy good quality horror flicks.
