This movie was bearable through the first two acts, but then I guess the Jersey Devil killed the writers and it was up to amateurs to write up the finale where it just takes lame turns for the worst.
The plot is about the survivors of a vehicle crash in the Pine Barrons that happened a year prior to the events of the film. The leading atrocity of an actors character beleives her cousin is still alive, because she thinks she saw her taken by the Jersey Devil. Makes sense, right? They return to the area and hire a guide to take them to the area who lures them into danger and the movie just falls apart from there.
First of all, the movie doesn't have the worst actors I've ever seen, well for the most part on all but two of the actors, but one of the actors, who is the lead of this film, IS possibly the worst actor I've ever witnessed on film. How was she cast in this as the lead? She's hard to look at and even harder to watch at just how God awful her performance is that completely ruins what could have been a half decent flick if they used someone who maybe has attended acting lessons at least once or twice before being cast in this.
Trying to ignore the worst preformance by a lead actress ive ever seen, this movie does actually feel like a movie. It had a decent premise, and didnt look too cheap, but it needed a much stronger re-write or better editors to have it flow better than the many times it provided it's confusing cluster bleeps in the plot that made it seem like the decisions on where the story should go got filmed,instead of being decided on paper first.
Had a bit more thought process and time got put into making it all make sense in its direction, it might've been a pretty good flick.
However, with its miss direction and confused plotlines leading into a stupid finale, along with a leading lady whom I'm personally naming as the worst actress of this mellenium, I can only give you fair warning to not bother checking this film out. Not unless you're a film student and wanna see how a movie shouldn't be put together, or curious to see just how bad a lead role can be played, then I advise you to just avoid watching this all together. Especially one that claims it stars Joe Estivez, whom briefly appears in a 5 second role that is highly unnoticeable, and mustve agreed to do some drunk screaming for 2 mins if someone bought him lunch or something?
