Film Filter: Off- 11-11-11

11-11-11 (2011) R

 Jon Briddell, Erin Coker, Hayden Byerly


Film Filter: On- A young couple moves to a quaint town with their son, Nathan.  As they get settled in, with Nathan's 11th birthday just a few days away, they realize many of the neighbors have taken a keen interest in their son.  Discovering that some believe the devil will reincarnate on 11/11/11 as an 11 year old boy the couple must go to drastic measures to protect their son, while few others believe they themselves are the ones that will require protection from Nathan.
Things to note: Interesting story line executed poorly, bad acting, choppy transitions to scenarios that are often unrealistic and unexplained, most of the movie is filmed with dark scenes.


**NOTE** 
THERE IS ANOTHER MOVIE ENTITLED 11-11-11...IT PROBABLY DOES NOT SUCK AS BADLY AS THIS ONE.


You'll like this movie if you enjoy:
Bad movies.  Haha, I kid (but not really).  
Apoclyptic films like End of Days or the Omen.

FIlm Filter: Off- Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010) R


Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, Katrina Bowden


Film Filter: On- In attempts to relax at their "vacation home", best friends Tucker and Dale take their truck out to their secluded cabin in the deep West Virginian woods.  Along the way, they run across a group of college students headed on a camping trip.  Dale starts off on the wrong foot by unintentionally giving the group the wrong impression at a gas station, and things don't get better from there.  Tucker and Dale continually find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time with the best of intentions, but the question remains of how they can dig themselves out of the hole they are inadvertently buried in.
Things to note: Comical horror film, interesting story perspective, humorous depictions of stereotypical personalities, unrealistic scenarios, frustrating situations, good moral of the story.

Disastrous horror films that are more comedic
