I first saw this movie when I was eight years old, when it first came out. And it promptly scared the shit out of me. Watching it now, it seems pretty silly, but I can still understand why it got to me then. If you see it, check out the scenes with the baby. That thing is really creepy. There's really no question why I don't want children.

Anyway, the movie has some slow parts in the middle, but the story is actually really long and involved, if not stupid. And why couldn't they find a better 'god' than Yog Kothag? That's probably the dumbest name I've ever heard, and it definitely doesn't scare me at all. Yog. Sounds like an alcoholic drink.

I really don't get what was going on with the wardrobe department. I would like to believe that they couldn't afford costumes for the characters, but that means they probably went home and got their own clothes, which is in some ways, much worse. I know absolutely nothing about fashion or what matches what (I'm a jeans and t-shirt guy), but I'd like to think that I wouldn't make any of the fashion faux pas that Marc makes.

Anyway, check this one out for some terrible outfits, a hardcore zombie, and creepy children.

***Edit: I recently came across the Uncut Director's Version on DVD. If you haven't picked this up yet, I recommend buying it. The uncut version actually starts out at the cabin instead of with Brother Magnus, which I understand because of pacing and establishing tone, though it does seem a little odd with the timeline of the movie. Speaking of which, it's a little easier to tell that a long time has gone by in this cut, rather than the one day timeline of the original cut. The quick relationship arc that Marc and Reggie go through isn't quite as abrupt, though it still is a little forced. Unfortunately the copy I have has some sound issues, especially in the aforementioned Magnus scene. Other than that, it was interesting to see a version close to what was supposed to be seen before the stupid editors hacked it to bits and sent it straight to video. Where's the big screen revival of this gem??? It needs a run, dammit!

My score remains the same, but this cut does add a little to the experience, especially if you've never seen the movie.

So THIS is the infamous movie that scared wittle Fox, but I won't hate too much considering that Demons scared the bejabbers outta me when I first saw it. Well, just like the first time, FOREVER this movie is, EVIL it isn't. Talk about useless, this movie boasts a big ol' Texas-sized box of it. Not much here I can really consider evil, well, I guess with the exception of those who conjured up the idea for creating this dumbass pile of dribble. However, on that same not you can't really expect much from those who attend College Univeristy, as I bet their cirriculum sucks, especially when it comes to morons who wanna make stupid movies. Well, then again if it wasn't for accidents *referring to those responsible* like these, we'd have no website. Hmmm, well no, lemme see...MAYBE the reason the name of the school was required to be hidden so the REAL school wouldn't be ostracized or defamed and slandered. Hell, I'd even be surprised if anyone used their real names at all. Filmed in Houston, Texas, I'd bet you money if you were to go and ask people about this movie they wouldn't be able to tell you anything not because they've never heard of it, but probably because they are secretly sworn never to speak of this abomination. Sort of like one of those unspoken Urban Legends. Well I'd guess if this jargon taught me anything, it's that alls you need to grow a pair of sterling silver ones is to be hit by a car and survive an attack from a pair of lamps that pull you down a hallway with no arms...Well, that and I can see why suicide rates and alcoholism even exist. Anywho, not even sure why there were attempts at symbolism: Pregnant dead women having clay babies, stupid tarot cards that lie, people dressed in cloaks wearing headbands with tinted flashlights on the side, tie ins with space and evil spirits?! Speaking of which, WHAT in the HOLY F'N hell is a Cuuuue-Aazer?!*Must have something to do with the kon-kwees-da-doh-rays* In addition, I don't think you can see the movie on an evil spirit with the name of a candy bar in Sweden by the name of a "Yog Kothag", which coincidentally has a reputation for bein' evil? Well, alls I can really try and credit are some random quotes, some OK SFX, and what little skin they did have (VERY UNimpressive) were not enough to keep this one from walkin' the plank *Harrrgh!**shaking head* Damn voices... Well that and there was a dog that didn't wanna be filmed, which was funny. Bottom line: Save your money and hit the bottle, or your head with a hammer instead, says me! You'll be inclined to more fun.

When I first saw this movie I thought it was great. Maybe I was drunk, but this past time I found it a bit slow. Don't get me wrong, you can't beat the acting provided by the 'actors' in this movie. We've got everything from the college going bad ass, to the college going geek, to the college going goer. Couldn't get over the "Hey Buffy" jock attitude portrayed by every person in the movie. The college going crew of this movie seems to be fighting a cute little black dog controlled by 'Yog Kothag'. This cute little dog became known to us as "Yog Kothag the devil dog".

It has the nudity, gore, and wonderful acting required in every good cheesy horror movie. It was just a little slow the second time.
