6 Angels (2006)

Truly Dreadful Film

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie is HILARIOUSLY bad. If it had a budget of $20, I would be VERY surprised. This thing is so low budget, the official release HAS NO DVD MENU. 6 Angels has everything you could want in a terrible, terrible film. Confusing, poorly written, and borderline incomprehensible story? Check. Acting that would be laughed out of a community theater production, including one person who acts only with his AMAZING EYEBROWS? Double Check! Boobs for no reason? Hell yes! Bad sound production? Got that, too! Visual "effects" too crappy for even an 80's B movie? Damn right! Seriously, WATCH THIS FILM, but for your own sake, do NOT do so sober. Grab some friends, get drunk, and get ready for an amazing riffing experience.

Most of the time I had no idea what was going on. The universe this movie creates makes no sense at all, and for the first 30 minutes or so, absolutely nothing happens. When we have the encounters between the good angels and the bad angels, I'm not sure if they're doing astral projection or what is going on, because nothing is ever explained. There are two somewhat redeeming features to this movie: First, the way the girl finally uses her power to defeat the bad guy. That was awesome. Second, Greg Mazzola's eyebrows are absolutely epic. His over-expressive method acting is hilarious, but it wouldn't be half as entertaining without those eyebrows.But even with epic eyebrows, I can't even call this one a guilty pleasure. It's just dull. It goes nowhere, the story makes no sense, and it was clearly shot on a shoestring, with pretty much no budget at all for effects. The acting is amateurish and the camera work is even worse. Don't bother with this one unless you're planning to riff it. Even then, think twice.

I caught this flick via Netflix and found it kinda cool. I wish they had a bigger budget to do the storyline justice. But overall I enjoyed it. The story was good and would compete with anything out in the theaters right now. If anything maybe it's too smart for the average moviegoer. The acting was at times pushed, although in the slower scenes it flowed fine. I liked the idea that these angels didn't have the traditional wings and weren't all wholesome. The characters felt more human because they had to deal with their dread of being a member of this angel circle. I would recommend it for those looking for a smart,inventive movie on a tight budget. Cheers

This movie is very sad, it is meant in the sense of lousy. It is a total waste of money and time. I had a hard time watching the whole movie, but was determined to get my monies worth out of it. It is an hour and a half too long. This movie looks as if it was shot by amateurs who tried to make a feature length film only to fail. The acting is very poor. The fight scenes are some of the lamest that I have ever seen and they will have you laughing. Having said all this there is one good point: there are 2 scenes where Stiga is nude. The story could have been developed a lot better and the fight scenes should have been more realistic. There are quite a few more things I could say about this movie, but why add insult to injury?
