This was almost as bad as the Martyrs remake, the Cabin Fever remake and The Psycho remake, I’m not even joking. So pretty much this is a remake of Francis Coppola’s Dementia 13, but they modernize the hell out of it. Which is something that flat out spells out “we were too lazy to make a decent film sorry but we don’t give a crap”, first off none of the acting and writing are convincing at all. Not once did I feel something was believable all I felt was empty ideas on screen and made me wonder....did anyone working on this film actually see the original? What’s even worse is this movie looked outdated as hell, this looked like some…

I was entertained by this remake. It looked nice, but everything felt dated. If this came out in the late 90's or early 00's, I think it would go over better. If you dig cheap post modern horror, give this a shot.
This is the last thing Chiller has to present before it dies at the end of the year. A mediocre film for a mediocre channel. A fitting end.

Haven't seen the original so going in fresh on this one. I thought this was a pretty fun horror comedy for the most part. I'm a sucker for any gothic family saga and this had some fun twists and turns. The movie was well shot and I can't say I was ever bored.
On the negative side I thought the later part descended into tired slasher tropes that have been done better elsewhere. Will have to check out the original soon.

Gathered together at their family house, a group of individuals intending to celebrate a family tragedy learn that not only as their world been thrown for a loop by a sudden revelation but a ravenous killer as well as a pair of thieves arrive which complicates their survival.
For the most part, this here wasn’t all that bad of a remake. A lot of the fun here comes from the rather intriguing storyline here featuring the different backstage deceits and traditions of the family. Right at the beginning, we get the idea of their personal tragedies starting with the need to celebrate the accident yet also in the different setups for showcasing her as starting to become concerned about her…

Absolutamente inepto remake de la primera película de Francis Ford Coppola, que si es de culto es por la arrolladora personalidad del maestro. En esta, nada se salva. Ni siquiera tiene gracia que combine de forma muy loca temas clásicos del horror en un pupurrí delirante. Abrumadoramente mala.

This has got to be one of the worst remakes I've ever seen.
The original was nothing special to begin with, but knowing its background you can kinda forgive its shortcomings.This film has no forgiveness.
I don't know, I think a remake it's not out of the question when it's done for the sake of improving on it, you know? Having a better narrative, structure, characters and a bigger budget. But it seems like the people involved in this stinker just thought: "Can we make this film even worse?". The answer, sadly, was yes. Yes you can.
Hopefully this doesn't becomes a trend, cuz I'll dread the day (20 or 30 years from now) when they run out of films to remake and start remaking pieces of shit like Truth or Dare or Winchester.
Ughhh...... *shrugs* -
Flying under the radar of just about everybody last year was this re-imagining of the Francis Ford Coppola black & white thriller of the same name. It still has the same basic premise as the original with the couple fighting on the boat and the mother, money, and dead daughter, but it's all been "modernized" for today's audience. Strangely enough, the biggest issues before were lighting and minor technical stuff while the story was generally really good, so it's pathetic to see how much they screwed this one up.
There are no lighting issues this time, the location is gorgeous, and the filmmakers took advantage of that. One definite change is going from a psychological thriller to a…

Uh-Oh !!!! Here comes another gratuitous remake to insult our intelligent and question whether or not we still love the original film which it spawned itself from,with this modern version of Francis Ford Coppola(APOCALYPSE NOW,THE GODFATHER)'s Roger Corman produced filmmaking debut that retains the original's mask sporting axe swinging murderer and the wealthy family concepts as it is basically another loosely based reboot that makes it more of a dysfunctional family thriller with a ghost thrown in as the likers of two sister(Channing Pickett,Marianne Noscheze),their woman abusing brother(Christian Ryan[PROUD AMERICAN]) and his scheming girlfriend([the Ana de Armas looking]Ana Isabelle[WEST SIDE STORY{2021},THE EYES,SEASONS OF LOVE]) with criminal connections(as represented by gun wielding tough guy wannabe thugs Donal Brophy[TROPHY BOY,THE SKIN OF…

Theres a lot of trying going on here. I will commend the movie makers for putting forth the effort into this movie into making it feel cinematic and nice. The problems stem from some shaky acting performances and an even shakier story. I haven't seen the original film so I don't know if this remake follows closely. If your really bored and into low budget horror there are worse things to watch than this.

Francis Ford Coppola made the original which I watched this past year I think in the October marathon and liked quite a bit. When I was coming up with my horrorx52 list I saw that this existed so I picked it, but I'm thinking why would anyone remake this? I can't imagine it's well known besides the director, but if it was decent, then cool. Turns out, this was a pretty good remake.
One thing I look for in a remake is that while it may tread the same ground, it needs to do something different than the original and I think this one manages to do just that. The overall story is pretty much the same from what I…

Have felt guilty about logging this one with a halfway honest rating since I interned for the production company that made this.
It’s been long enough. This movie is ass.

This might be the single worst studio horror film I have ever seen. Worth a watch for the sheer amount of laughter it provokes. Incompetent and shockingly unprofessional, even for a Universal Home Entertainment release.

DEMENTIA 13 es un batiburrillo low cost de ideas inconexas con un sentido completamente nulo de transmitir un ápice de horror o alguna sensación similar. Quizás hubiera funcionado mejor como comedia de terror, pero por suerte nunca lo sabremos. Una pérdida de tiempo.

so bad that it doesn’t have a menu option
and it just replays at the end of the dvd
FUCKING BAD -
