Philadelphia Film Festival [spoilers]


I gave this movie a 'fair'--as I said to my friends, any movie in which crazy Christians get axes in their heads makes me smile. I didn't find the plot as farfetched as some people did (there's a video game with a similar plot), and there were some nice jump-and-yell moments, which are generally my favorite part of any horror movie. And I found the end intriguing--assuming she wasn't hallucinating the demons at the end, which I grant might be a stupid assumption, the crazy Christians really DID save those people, in a sense, unless the murdered people got sent to a terrible place and the demons were actually quite pleasant and had brought warm drinks and sandwiches, which would've been hilarious. And the demons themselves were nicely creepy...floating is much scarier than walking.

What I noticed in particular:

1. Danny Blanco, who played the subway worker Davis, looked very much like Duane Jones in 'Night of the Living Dead,' and his character was similar as well. I'm guessing that was on purpose.

2. The scene where they were giving one another the pills seemed quite homoerotic, though it could just be I'm a perv.

3. Neil Napier is RIPPED. When he took his overshirt off, that was some prime arm porn right there. And his character was pretty damned cool as well.

3a. A tight shot of the back of Neil Napier's hand showed a small tattoo of a triangle in a circle, which had me wondering for a while if he was actually a bad guy.

One question: Why did the girl who wouldn't let the guy touch under her shirt suddenly decide she wanted to have sex? If it'd happened after they'd gotten the message to start killing people, it would've made sense, but as shown it was incomprehensible.
