Title: Wretched - in a Bad Way
Product review: If Hell's Gate eventually does open, it's my sincere hope that this movie will trot on over and tumble inside. It's simply awful. Despite what other reviewers have said, neither the acting nor the production values are the problem. The real downfall - as with most bad films - is the writing. The story simply falls apart. The production values are actually quite strong, and this is most evident in the opening sequences which are both eerie and suspensful as they reveal the historical background behind the current plot. However, once the current story gets underway, it's utterly predictable, which is a fatal flaw in a horror flick. You are left not-caring one whit for any of the characters, including the main ones. It was embarrassing to watch this movie, and it's occurred to me that's it's even embarrassing to be writing about it. If you're considering renting this one, don't waste your money, and if it's on TV for free, don't even waste your time.
