Review of Ogre

Ogre (2008 TV Movie)
5/10
Cheesetastic CGI and reworked 'The Village' story
16 July 2014
Small town of Ellensford, Pennsylvania is suffering from a plague in 1859. Barlett Henry (John Schneider) is made the magistrate and his daughter Hope (Chelan Simmons) starts to suffer from the plague. He performs a spell to create an ogre from all the evil that has befallen the town which must be fed each year. In present time, four friends go searching for the town lost in time. Terry (Kyle Labine) is injured. Jessica (Katharine Isabelle) and Mike (Ryan Kennedy) go looking for help and find the town.

It's a TV movie for then Sci-Fi Channel and the special effects look TV cheesetastic. This is kind of like 'The Village' in look and story except there is a real ogre. At least, it's as real as a cheap computer can make it. There is some good cheese value to this and it generally works as a story. I do like most of the actors and they do a serious job. The ogre looks so ridiculous that the last half of the movie grinds down. The action looks horrible. It's bad and funny at the same time.
