Tom Mavis was a young boy, who was the subject of intense emotional abuse and as such he made a suicide pact with a powerful demon. And in that small rural town there are a lot of murders, often centering around two places, Edinburgh County Home and the Jr. High School. There is a tremendous mix of film styles. There is scratchy, grainy footage, there is switching from color to B&W and back again. The story jumps all over the place in a very confusing manner. Young girls go into those areas of town, and later are found wandering, scantily clothed and mentally messed up. They even have "breaking news" segments, and on a radio program, an Alex Jones type announcer about what is happening. And there are interviews with locals, as sort of a documentary investigative approach. It is as if too many different approaches were thrown into one movie, and the result is mainly an incoherent mess. Some of that actors seem to be having a fun time doing their roles. That doesn't translate the same for the viewer.

Even with my epic tolerance for stinkers, this is in a word: Unwatchable. Everything about this is poor, and you never feel like you aren't completely wasting your time.

I don't really have anything else to say about it but my review is too short. OK, I list out in a very wordy format with plenty of filler that the brunette news caster on the little fake news excerpt somewhere in this unmitigated disaster is very good looking and nice to look at. And.. uhm.. still too short. Sigh.. I don't want to waste my time sitting here explaining so many ways this movie fails, because I already wasted enough time. I just wanted to help warn others due to so many fake positive ratings for something you know doesn't deserve it right from the opening studio logo.. ha!
