THE PLOT THUS FAR
A killer uses an 18th century machine with supernatural powers to terrorize students at a college.
WHAT WE THOUGHT
Student Ben Rutherford inherits a strange device from his deceased father. However, the device is stolen and out of the blue his friends are murdered, one by one, in a bizarre way. Ben and is brother Marcus have been estranged for years, but they get close again and discover that the machine is a tool built for revenge by Rubenstein in the Eighteenth Century. Further they also find that their father had killed his partner Robert Shawn ten years ago and now someone is seeking revenge for the sins of their father.
I thought the revenge machine was an interesting take on the voodoo idea, the way it’s victims died was not that interesting to me; that is to say, no more so than if a gun or knife were used. What was interesting to me was who was doing it and why. That is what kept me going. Before I saw the movie I thought it was going to be another of those typical young people horror films.
The DVD comes with a production featurette and trailer. The A/V Quality is ok for indie foreign horror. However, it lacks any punch-up in the back channels. The end result is a muddy mess that never quite gets the job going. Therefore, I’d recommend a rental at most.
RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW!
