The 8th Plague (2006)
Oh my god, I just wasted 90 minutes of my lifetime
Somebody here on IMDb wrote "this movie is like a porn movie with violence instead of sex". And after watching this movie, I have to disagree with this person, because I've seen porn movies that were way better directed than this one. I mean, this looks like a bunch of silly kids took a camera and made their own movie just for fun. But is it a least funny? Legendary Italian anti-director Lucio Fulci produced a series of
gore-movies in the 80ies, normally featuring horrible acting, brainless scripts, 10-miles-over-the-top brutality and clumsy directing. But these movies were fun. They were 70-90 minutes of pure, unintentionally funny entertainment. But this movie right here isn't even entertaining in that tradition. It just... well... sucks. It's
too slowly paced, too monotonous. And the gore-factor right here can't really compensate for this. There have been single minutes in braveheart that were more gory than this whole movie. There are just a couple of very short scenes with some guts and blood, in between long periods of pure boredom. This is the kind of movie, you'll have to apologize for, if you convince other people of watching it with you.
The Raven (2006)
My apology
Just one thing.
I am German. And I feel ashamed by movies like this, by Lommel, by Boll, and all those other German directors, that recently entered Hollywood to produce the worst movies, that an human mind can ever imagine. This movie right here actually is even worse than anything I could imagine before.
So... Just understand: it's not our fault... Nobody in Germany knows these guys, nobody knows, where they are coming from and who pays them money to produce this. We like good movies, too, and yes, we hate these guys, too.
I honestly feel ashamed. As a German, I apologize for this. Thank you for your attention.
