7 Below (2012)

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Easily tied for worst movie I have ever seen and may be the worst. I thought the acting throughout was horrible other than what the people involved in the actual murder event did at the beginning and in later flashbacks. That was all that was good. The soundtrack to this thing awful. The lines the actors had to say at times simple, pathetic with nothing that would really grab you and I definitely think they were handicapped by the lines given to them but you could also see that some were just plain bad actors/actresses. I honestly can't believe they were given $6 million to make this garbage. This is easily tied with what I consider one of the worst films ever which was Freddy Got Fingered. The only good thing in that movie was the scene with Tom Green rolling around with a dead deer or something and that honestly I tried to laugh at but it was just creepy.Seriously if I could give this film a zero I would.Do not watch this even if it is given to you free which lucky for me it was as part of a rental deal at Family Video where I got 3 free movies for renting a video game mid week or something like that.In regards to the title of this movie I can't even figure out why it is called this nor do I really want to spend any time figuring out why it is called that because who honestly cares when this movie is just so bad !!!!Avoid this movie at all costs.

A group of strangers find themselves stranded following a tour bus accident. They seek shelter in an old house that turns out to be haunted. Naturally, they start to get picked off one by one. Director Kevin Carraway, who also co-wrote the trite and talky by-the-numbers script with Lawrence Sara, allows the blah and meandering story to unfold at a painfully sluggish pace, generates not a single iota of tension or spooky atmosphere, signposts the killer's identity well in advance, and trots out a numbing succession of groan-inducing tried'n'true horror clichés that include a mysterious ghost girl on the side of the road, the proverbial dark'n'stormy night, creepy reflections that suddenly pop up in mirrors, and, worst of all, folks wandering off by themselves so they can make for easy targets. The mostly sorry acting from the largely underwhelming cast doesn't help matters any: Val Kilmer seems dead on his feet and mumbles all his dialogue (plus he gets killed early in the action despite his prominent billing in the credits), Luke Goss proves to be a colossal drip, Rebecca Da Costa looks mighty fetching, but can't act for spit, and Christian Baha sports an indecipherable foreign accent that renders all of his lines borderline unintelligible. Ving Rhames tries hard as the enigmatic Jack, but even he can't surmount the poor writing and flat direction. But what really dooms this dud to outright crumminess is the fact that it's incredibly freaking dull. A hopelessly soporific stinker.

** SPOILER ALERT ** This film kind of started off okay but then took a major turn towards crapsville. It had almost every horror movie cliché and at the same time I'm sure the director stepped out for some milk and while he was out a backwards child took over for a while until the director returned and did the last 10 minutes of the film. The plot was all over the place and at times it seemed like they were taking requests on how the plot should go. The acting left a lot to be desired too, not the best. Val Kilmer and Ving Rhames must have owed somebody big time to be in this movie, because it can't have been for the money or the experience. ** SPOILER ALERT ** The gist of the film is that they all are part of the killings as the killer is re-incarnated as one of them. But who you say? Well to save you time and money, it was Courtney. The end. So I give this a 1 out of 10.

So yea, I had a redbox code for a free DVD that expired at midnight tonight, so I decided to rent this and even with the decidedly high price of free I still felt ripped off by this asinine little tale 'haunted house' tale. Unoriginal and filled with horrid acting (and by at least 2 people that should know better), this travesty will make the worst insomniac drowsy. Usually even in the most crappy horror films, I can (if hard pressed) at least point to a scene or two that were memorable, if not necessarily good. Not so with this one. Avoid it.Eye Candy: Tia Sage shows some T&AMy Grade: D-
