Hellborn (2003)

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Don't even waste your time, let alone pay rental for this piece of dreck! How it got made is beyond me. (I don't know why there's a minimum of 10 lines... I've already summarized this trashy movie, but, oh well...) The acting was awful, like they all needed lessons. The plot was weak, the ending... Feh! I think the cinematography was the only thing that didn't totally suck... well, maybe the sound was minimalistically OK. The one good thing is, if they could make this movie, even make some money with it, there may be hope for any screenwriter with a REAL idea. So, you-all take heart! I guess the same holds true of actors... if these people actually got paid, then you can, too!

The cast although nothing special, all do an OK job, the story seems like a good idea, the script is bearable and the end has quite a good twist; so what's wrong with it?For a start the special effects are really bad (if this was made in the 60's) it might look OK but in 2003 there is just no excuse for visuals as poor as this. It makes me laugh that the DVD cover claims very proudly 'from the special effects creator of Jeepers Creepers'.Secondly the direction is weak, this film just does not capture the essence of the story, A doctor feeding the hospital inmates souls to the Devil (or demon type creature) should be tense or frightening; it simply isn't.All in all this is a pretty poor film, and although bearable and at times mildly entertaining, it is still probably best left alone.A rather sad 4/10

A young psychology intern is given his dream job when he is allowed to reside in a hospital for the criminally insane in Asylum of the Damned. Aside from a brilliant creature design (the Harvester) that they hardly even made use of and Bruce Payne at his villainous best, this movie is downright dull and offers nothing new or interesting. Also featured in the cast are Tracy Scoggins and Tiny Lister Jr. However, they aren't given much to do. The rest of the acting is very wooden and forced. Other problems include the script. No explanation of the creature is ever given nor do they explain Payne's motives. It's really sad they couldn't have found a better vehicle for the Harvester design. Don't bother with this one.

I have just finished watching the most excruciating film of my entire life. Hellborn has the most infeasible plot, the most ridiculous setting and some actors so wooden that Pinocchio would flit across the screen not look out of place. There is one name on the billing for this film that should let you know what to expect (and I wish I had recognised that at the time) "Tracy Scoggins". When a bit part actress from Lois and Clark turns up in a principle role you know your film is in trouble. Why the director didn't cut his losses and replace all the actors with The Muppets is beyond me!! This movie eclipses every bad movie I have ever witnessed (and I've seen Slap her She's French!!)
