13 Demons (2016)
A good movie that shouldn't be
Honestly I don't review movies but was so surprised by this one that I couldn't help myself. The terrible reviews are understandable, this was clearly a film done with friends and a tiny budget and there are a lot of odd choices here in terms of scripting, but damn. I was captivated by a low budget, schlock horror movie, and I'm not a genre devotee so that's saying something. The acting is surprisingly good, and in a weird way the campy schlock effects and make up become creepy and surrealistic in the context of characters playing a campy, weirdly written schlock board game. Like the game itself, this movie was shocking in its ability to grip in spite of so many obvious shortcomings. Any case, the real reason I'm giving this flawed but fun flick such high marks is because I really want to see what this film maker and his team could do with some real money. I would watch a big budget remake of this with glee.
