A Wakefield Project

source: A Wakefield Project

If you enjoy absolutely no cohesive plot, if you like poorly improvised dialogue, if you enjoy nonsensical plot devices like going in to a thrift shop looking "breakers" and explaining that it's a black box with a bunch of wires sticking out of it or a companion errand when still in the thrift shop asking reasonably if the shop has a VCR being sent to to a private home that happens to be the best friend of the murderer that are the central to the, I guess you'd call it the plot. This may have been the movie that shows that to many streaming exist because someone gave these folks money for a movie that had no script only and outline of a plot. I'm thinking that some regional wrestling group may be the financial backer because to many flexing while they walk meatheads were involved and I'm pretty sure the ghost of Captain Lou Albano was in this film. The female lead is an average looking woman at best and the only reason I bring this up is she should not be the main love interest to one of the two main hunky joes she is not attractive enough and she's also at least 10 years older than the two male leads. The interaction between the second male lead and the thrift shop girl is ridiculous as well as the said two words to each other when they meet up later it's boyfriend and girlfriend immediately. when they meet up the second time. The slightly above average female lead is by far the most talented actor but that's like having a half dozen cats in a room and putting a mechanical dog tali on one and saying that that's the best dog yet it's still a cat and clearly still not a dog. One of the most ridiculous plot points is the fact that the bad guy is a butcher yet it seems to me this is only the case because someone involved in this thought old meathooks and clever looked menacing. Finally if I had any doubt that much of the dialogue was improvised all doubt was removed during and after the showdown towards the end when you can actually see the small pauses where they are trying stay within characters yet have to come up with what to say in the moment. The absolute worst part is nothing is addressed to explain anything and that includes what the Wakefield Project, why a solar flare would make people act dead because it's also never addressed who these fake dead people are although if you look close you will see many of the people the lead meatheads interact with during the film. In the description I saw it says if the veil of death was lifted for 24 hours would you survive, this to is never addressed. What's been put on film here is not a movie it's an incomplete thought put forth with only an incredible thin outline of a plot. This wasn't something that some guy holding a camera and his friends slapped together over a couple of weekends this was done with technical people who are skilled in filming something but unfortunately what they had to film was pointless directionless nonsense that at no point was a complete story this is a master class in how not to make a good movie but it's not a completely wasted evening I did get several chuckles out of this drek and if someone asks if they want to see a really bad movie this is it. Inclusion..... garbage.

The opening is headlines. Nathan Cross, a serial killer, is put to death and there is a wicked solar flare that allows the realms between the living and the dead to become blurred. Eric (Anthony Bewlz) and Reese (Dennis Andres) purchase the inn where the killings took place. Seems the real estate laws in Wakefield don't require that disclosure. Pretty medium, VHS player with snuff films, angry ghosts, and a bland piano soundtrack. The film had no hook. Characters, dialogue, and special effects were not there. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity

Instead of 1 star, here is 2 because Dennis Andres was a good actor.

Another film school project taken on by amateur writers and actors. Movie is too bad for a garbage dump!!!

Eric and Reese have moved to Wakefield to start a bed and breakfast, just in time for solar flares to kick in. A medium shows up and starts informing them of the history of their property, which was once owned by a killer named Nathan Cross. A shift in energy from the flares causes the veil between the living and dead to lift, so all the death in this quaint little town has come back to haunt everyone. Director L.A. Lopes played a cashier in the remake of Poltergeist and now she's making movies of her own. It was written by Lindsay Seim, who was in Insidious: Chapter 2 and St. Agatha before this. Oddly, she doesn't list writing this film in her IMDB credits.

Only wasted 5 minutes on this unbelievably terrible drivel, have seen better acting in my local bar..dont waste you time on this shockingly bad horse s**t.

The dead or the undead are responsible for this terrible film? Or is it the solar flashes?

Imagine a bunch of movie school dropouts drunk one night with a nokia phone from 2009 filming a movie. Ugh. Trash. PS - it's sad all these people make new accounts just to '10 star' these awful movies.

Save your $ and your time. Terrible in all respects!
