DVD Reviews of Messiah of Evil: The Second Coming
DVD Review: Over Praised and Over Narrated
Summary: 2 Stars
I blind bought this movie after all the internet praise I read and I wish I hadn't. There were things I liked - the music, art direction, and a handful of scenes - the opening, a creepy rat eating scene, a grocery scene, the theatre scene, people jumping through a roof window scene but that's all about it I liked - some scenes. The movie as a whole was underwhelming because when those scenes are not happening, the viewer is straddled with bland characters, clunky dialogue and just not much happening on screen.
I absolutely abhorred the constant narration of the lead actress, Marianna Hill, and her onscreen father's journal. The father's journal consisted of going on and on about the red moon and what it does to people in the small sea town. I really needed to hear it once - not over and over throughout the whole movie, banging me over the head with it. Hill's narration was worse, often telling the viewer what we can see on the screen. For example, the viewer sees that Hill and another person are surrounded by the town people and they are swimming in the ocean and she's narrating "we were surrounded. they were watching us. staring at us. we were in the ocean." It took me right out of the movie.
Imagine watching Halloween ('78) and hearing a Jamie Lee Curtis voiceover, "I grabbed a knitting needle, and hit him with it in the neck. I was afraid."
I also thought Marianna Hill had no screen presence at all and the tension onscreen was often undone by her poorly delivered, overstated narration and weak performance. Anitra Ford, who has a small role, would have made a better lead in my opinion.
Approach with caution.
