Dying God (2008)

In a dark and decadent city, corrupt cop Sean Fallon will have to face his own demons to put an end to a series of brutal rapes and murders of the most weirdest kind. With the help of the local pimps, Fallon will go on the hunt for a serial killer...We have B-movie celebrity Misty Mundae as Mary and genre favorite Lance Henriksen as a wheelchair-bound jerk. And that is about it.Honestly, I felt like there was something to like about this. Dirty cops, a serial killer and prostitutes... that already makes a good story. The acting was good, as was the location scouting. But for some reason the production value just seemed bad, with the cameras coming across as cheap. And that brought it all down for me...

It is extremely rare that I do not finish a movie that I start but this movie was awful. I tried to hang with it but this is not just an ordinary "B" movie. If there was a home for "B" movies, this one would be left out in the cold. The acting was as pitiful as I have ever seen. The male lead forced every word he spoke. If this gentleman had any acting classes it is my guess he did not do very well. I had absolutely no feeling towards his character, a good actor brings you into his role and makes you feel his sorrow and pain. In this case the only pain I felt was in my stomach which was made much better when I turned this waste of film media off.

If you started off with the premise that you could make one of the worst films ever whilst talking to a group of ten year old school kids, and then wrote a script together with them that contained no original dialogue, a plot that was predictable in every way possible and then cast a bunch of incompetent actors (Even Henriksen is bad in this one!), mix it together with an absurd blend of clichés and some bare breasts, then this is what you would probably end up with.Some films are so bad that they're good fun. The trash aesthetic and all that, but this one is just trash. Rubbish. Truly and utterly awful.The only thing that kept me watching was the vague hope that it couldn't get any worse. But at least it didn't disappoint in that respect.The score was good. And there you have the one and only redeeming factor for this execrably bad, fetid piece of tripe.Cheers, Will

Default Fabrice Lambot's DYING GOD Dying God (2008) Dying God Delivers With Original AppealThe MySpace official page for Fabrice Lambot's French-Argentine horror Dying God is online, and on that page is a poster for the movie. Also, Brad Krupsaw's blog for the movie is online.The screenplay for Dying God was written by Lambot and Jean Depelley, based on a story by Nicanor Loreti and Germán Val.The movie's cast includes James Horan, Lance Henriksen, Erin Brown (a.k.a. Misty Mundae), Agathe de la Boulaye, Enrique Liporace, Victoria Maurette (she's also in Albert Pyun's Left for Dead and his BulletFace), Ivan Espeche, Samuel Arena, and (Brad) Krupsaw.Dying God has a surprisingly original story and though the movie starts to flail early on from the flat acting and low production costs, once Lance Henriksen shows up at around the half-way mark things start to look up.James Horan does a fine job himself and all the girls do a great job too.After 15 minutes, stop and turn away from the screen. Yell as loud as you can to overcome the feeling of turning off this movie due to the horrible acting and post production, but then keep watching, I don't think you'll regret it. If you like horror and have a quiet afternoon to kill this one's worth the watch.The movie is basically about a very cool legendary monster from Panamian folklore who is about to die, desperate to find a mate to continue his species, the only caveat is most of his prospective mates don't survive the first coupling.An intensely gory film with a cool monster that while starts out bumpy won't disappoint for a low budget horror it's a bit of fun.
