The Order (2003)
ok...
I was nothing expecting, when I read the summary and the bad critics of this movie. I was really surprised. The movie looked really good. The atmosphere, the acting (besides the two main actors) was really nice to watch.
Benno Fürmann and Peter Weller did a nice job. Mr. Fürmann got something of Gary Oldman, he did well in playing the evil one. And I like Mr. Weller, he gets even better from year to year in doing his job.
Some of the ideas of this movie are brilliant. A dark brotherhood: a mafia like freemanson techno club -
"ask the dying" and "the orphans of hell..." a sin-eater living like a rap star... nice to watch... but not that much real to believe.
The story lacks many times and the script writer could have chosen a better way to tell his story. The movie is not a discussable masterpiece. The main character is not that much convincing, he loses to fast his believes and his way of living. It may be that Mr. Ledge is to young to convince the audience. The suicide girl does not act like a insane person. Many questions are unanswered. Some scenes did not fit to this movie - like the one - the priest is nearly killed by an evil fog-like-spirit.
The cgi at this movie is not new, you will have seen the effects in many other movies of this and other genres, but it is well done.
The atmosphere - the pictures, the scenes, the buildings, the spirit of dark halls and holy places is well combined with a tastefully soundtrack.
So, in my opinion the picture is worth to see and hear it once, you will not going to regret the spending of time and get some interesting 100 minutes while watching it.
Vlad (2003)
bad like the bit of a drunken vampire....
so, I thought, nice, a new dracula movie, a bit of suspense, erotic, history and horror - but I was really wrong.
The actors look nice, like Barbie and Ken are running through the woods... the costume design, acting and score is like a tv show.. like hercules/ xena.
Mr. Zane, did a good job in dying fast (after 30 minutes).
The plot and the way through the movie is such badly cut - you are feeling - you must have been fallen asleep and missed the important parts.
The score, is as bad, as the screenplay... it does not fit to the screenplay and did nothing in favor for the quality of the scenes.
I got trouble to find a category for this kind of movie, perhaps, you can call it: REAL-TIME-HORROR-EXPERIENCE it is so horrible to watch and wait for the end.... so, don´t waste your time and money.
