GOOD LOOKING B RATED SUPERNATURAL/THRILLER!!!
I saw the preview for this movie in some movie i rented then thought looked very interesting. In the vein of "The Omen" and "The Good Child", This movie really pulls it off. Very entertaining and well acted film. The movie moves well and the characters are interesting. The little boy's powers are all through his mind, suggesting thoughts for his own "evil" pleasures. It seems as if it's a game for him. Several twists to the movie that make it interesting. The child was kidnapped and held for ransome in a closed down summer camp in the middle of winter in Maine. From that moment, the "games" begin. The movie is entertaining and is well worth to watch at least once! B

Damien goes to summer camp
I'm not sure who wrote the blurb on the DVD box which described this movie as a tale of "Bone chilling terror" but all I can say in reply is that the writer must be very easily scared and should probably stick to Disney movies. The movie isn't scary at all and it lumps together any number of tried and tested horror movie cliches such as an out of season summer camp, a spooky kid and a lone girl chased through the woods. There are moments which bring to mind other horror movies, such as The Shining, Damien: Omen II & The Blaire Witch Project, all of which may have influenced the director. However despite these short comings the movie worked, at least for me it did. It was entertaining, well acted, well cast and although many of the themes have been used before the movie as a whole was sufficiently different to hold the attention and the ending came as a total surprise. Michael Rooker and Josh Holloway played their parts well and with conviction but newcomer Blake Woodruff as the boy,...

Passable knock off of The Omen
In this terror film, the most inept band of kidnappers in world history abducts the child from hell, an eight year old adopted boy from a very wealthy family in New England, who's in fact the antichrist or something. One by one, the kidnappers will pay for their deed. The film looks like an unauthorized knock off of The Omen, and while mildly entertaining, is hardly a great film. Made with a no name cast (except perhaps for Michael Rooker, who twenty years ago has a cult hit in Henry, Portrait of a serial killer) the good scenery from New England in winter and a good hand in the directing adds a little to this passable movie. Just don't take it too seriously.
