11-11-11

"11/11/11" is a continuation of Director Darren Lynn Bousman's work proving him to be one of the most successful and talented modern-day horror directors. From the "Saw" series (torture *), to "Repo The Genetic Opera" (musical), to a remake of "Mother's Day" (psychological horror) and now "11/11/11" (supernatural), the man literally does it all and all with a breath of fresh, bone-chilling air. "11/11/11" carefully intertwines elements of the supernatural, religion, and the occult to stir up a unique take on this horror sub-genre. Director of Photography, Joseph White, also deserves recognition for his mesmerizing cinematography that helped visually bind my eyes to the screen and engage me with the haunting story. And just as any Bousman film has, "11/11/11" has one hell of an ending that will leave you wanting more.

the plot is just atrocious. the ending is ridiculous. the acting is terrible. the special effects are far from special. the theme is unoriginal. about the only enjoyable aspect of this "film" - i'd not call it that, but rather a "cinematic suppository" - would be the soundtrack. save yourself. save your money. save 2 hours of your life that you will never get back if you were to suffer through this travesty. the saddest part about this movie is the fact that it will make more money than most of us make in our entire lifetimes. oh and just to add perhaps some weight to my statements, i graduated film school. i spent months studying screenplays and the screen writing process. i went through years of work to attain my degree. you can take my opinion, or you can see for yourself. i hope for the former. i'd rather you be spared the suffering that is this filth.

Well what can i say about most movies today coming out of studios today apart from a major lack of creativity, however onto the film, which i found after watching it and thinking there's an hour and a half of my life i'll never get back. Truly awful so called spooky demons which you will probably think the crew members have just raided the local fancy dress store. The acting was terrible and the story was too stupid to follow it just lacked everything a good movie should have. The only good part of this film was when the credits rolled sorry but this is awful at best and tragic such a shame as the trailer showed such promise. You have been warned!!

American writer and atheist, Joseph Crone, receives word from his estranged brother, that his father is dying. He travels to Spain to see his father on his death bed, where he discovers that his younger brother has followed his fathers calling and become a catholic Pastor. Together they have established their own chapel on the grounds of their family home. Joseph's life has been plagued with strange happenings and tragedies, which seem to be connected to the number 11. His intrigue soon uncovers deeper mythological and religious significance to the number and possibly his family. 11-11-11 is written and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who previously brought us Saw 2 – 4 and the superb 2010 remake of Mothers Day. Bousman has made skillful use of popular synchronicity around the number 11, where numerologists and string theorists believe that events linked to the time 11:11 appear more often than can be put down to mere chance or accident and has great symbolism in the universe. The basic idea for the movie is engaging with lots of potential, unfortunately, this is where the films merits end. The plot becomes tedious and bland fast, holding this pace for the majority of the film. The scares consist of frightening faces appearing in the shadows or windows, but they fail to show any snap or shock value, becoming repetitive and tiresome early on. The special effects, especially the costumes and make up, feel amateurish and almost laughable a times. The acting and dialogue is decidedly mediocre, the characters are difficult to like or relate to in many ways. The twist ending of the movie was better than expected, however, it does not make up for its unexciting story and production short comings. Overall a great idea, wasted.

The successful American writer and atheist Joseph Crone (Timothy Gibbs) participates in a support group to accept the death of his beloved wife Sarah (Salomé Jiménez) and their son Diogo. Joe befriends Sadie (Wendy Glenn) in one of the meetings and she helps him when he has a car accident. When Joe's estranged religious brother Samuel Crone (Michael Landes) tells him that their father is terminal, he travels to Barcelona to stay near the death bed of his father. Joe has visions of demons and with the number 11 and he finds that something evil will happen with Samuel and him on 11 November 2011. "11-11-11" is a film with a promising premise, but with a messy and disappointing execution. The screenplay is boring and confused; the scary atmosphere with demons repeats several times along the film and becomes irritating; and the predicable plot point is hard to believe, disclosed in very fast pace and annoying. My vote is three. Title (Brazil): "11-11-11"

Now this is something different! yes we have all seen the "End of the world" films before BUT don't forget this is based on possible facts plus its very different i thought there has been a lot of head work gone into the making of this film. The acting was fantastic all the actors played a well deserved role i didn't see any flaws or anything to pull it to bits TBH! The film gives u a real scarrey feel to it the music plays a great role in it too, Im NOT going to spoil this film by saying too much but its NOT for kids but anyone that does see this WONT be disappointed & lets leave it at that and keep you all guessing...well done guys a FAB film... 9/10 Overall...

I had hope for director Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw 2-4), since Repo! The Genetic Opera was a flawed but interesting experiment and his Mother's Day remake was actually pretty much excellent IMHO. But alas…bad movie is bad. Bousman's directing skils aren't even the real problem here (the film is shot decently and is at times pretty atmospheric), but near everything else is... There is hardly enough story here to warrant a half hour Twilight Zone segment, let alone a feature film. For an hour, the same things happen over and over again, even going so far that 2 characters have the exact same conversation no less than 3 times. Acting is hammy at best, especially from the lead actor, who's film-noir detective like voice-over nearly takes the film into the realm of parody. The music is constanty omnious, even when nothing remotely creepy is happening. The finale is actually pretty OK and I actually liked the ending, but the makers damn near give us the resolution of the movie in a powerpoint presentation with the director shouting "See? See what we did there???" I actually had quite some fun watching this, giggling at how bad this all was. And I admit I jumped a few times. Just make sure you don't go out of your way to see this. It is a deeply silly film.

Stupefy v 1: make dull or stupid; to muddle with drunkenness or infatuation syn: besot, stupefy 2: be a mystery or bewildering to: Sadly, there is no doubt some kind of evil that is rendering audiences utterly incapable of discerning a great fright flick, (like 11-11-11) from the banal, moronic, mind-numbing 'torture *' garbage that has been littering our airwaves, and the minds of millions. 11-11-11 sports epic camera work & vivid, rich atmospheric cinematography, a blisteringly creepy score, scares a plenty, and some CREEPY AS HELL demons, with solid acting all around. I lost count of the number of times the hair stood up on the back of my neck whilst watching this. There is virtually nothing NOT to like about this fun fright flick, yet I am just dumbfounded at the response. It deserves MUCH better.

This movie has little to nothing to do with the trailer. Forget the flashy 'you are fuc$ed' trailers. The only thing 'fuc$Ed will be your expectations going in if you even watch the trailers. The movie is slow. And I mean slow. It's more of a character study than a horror film. But in my opinion pays off in the end. This is my first review on IMDb, and only signed up after I saw the venom being spewed. Not my favorite movie by any means. But a heck of a lot better than the half stars I have been seeing. I think you need to go in with the mind set - no gore, no violence, no jump scares. It's not that type of film. It much more akin to something like THE OMEN. Maybe I am just a sucker for religious films.

This movie was just TERRIBLE. I got an advanced copy and what a complete waste of time. This was solely a gimmick for 11/11/11. The people who wrote this were just looking for a way to make money on a movie and what they came up with was the weakest plot somehow tied to religion and a number. But guess what, the number has nothing to do with this movie. They could have easily made this movie without all of the number references. They also could have easily made this movie better without such a loose plot, however it was extremely hard to follow or figure what was going on. Then they finally tell you what is going on like you are a child, flashing back to scenes that you just saw and don't need to be retold. Overall, this movie didn't even give the satisfaction of even coming off as a scary movie, like it advertises. The scares were weak and overplayed. The best part was maybe the crazy old man, but that is even stretching it for me. Just say no, I wish I did.
