Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fresh and Exciting

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

My main reasons for seeing 'The Cloth' were that the idea was sort of intriguing and that it had Danny Trejo and Eric Roberts (the two biggest names and not exactly bad actors, Trejo especially has shown his ability to be one of the least bad things about bad films) in it. Expectations were not exactly high but it was not as if it was watched with the want of it being bad. With the sole exception of an attention-grabbing and unsettling opening, which actually gave off a promising first impression, 'The Cloth' manages to be a complete mess at the end of the day. It wastes everything that the film was seen for in the first place, and ruins a not bad premise with execution that describing it as sub-par is being far too kind. There are certainly far worse films about, films that don't have any redeeming qualities (something that for all its badness 'The Cloth' did have), but for its subject matter this was one soulless film.'The Cloth' is incredibly amateurish visually, insultingly so. It is so chaotically and self-indulgently shot, making a lot of the film incoherent, and the use of lighting couldn't be more inappropriate or random (some of it made me feel ill, anybody with a neurological condition beware). Atmosphere is zero. Worst of all are the special effects and the look of the demons, which would have even been badly out of date in the 60s let alone in a time where technology and effects on the most part have significantly advanced when not overused and abused.Sound effects and music are far too loud and intrusive, any tension, suspense or creepiness are completely ruined by the sound and music making it far too obvious what was going to happen. When it is not hard to understand (which a good deal of the time it's as incomprehensible as the production values), the dialogue is enough to make even the most childish child feel dumb and it constantly sounds awkward. After a promising opening, the story goes downhill quicker than one can down a fizzy drink can quickly. It is just so dull and it was like no heart or enthusiasm was put into it, judging from the molasses-slow pace, the lack of atmosphere and personality and that it doesn't even try to make sense.None of the characters are interesting or engaging, very little is learnt about them and we don't care because some are annoying and others are like walking robots. Don't expect Trejo or Roberts to save it. Both are woefully misused with far too short screen-times (especially Trejo) and both are pretty lousy, with a very hammy Trejo and Roberts at his most bored-looking (actually looking like he regretted taking part). Having said that, they are acting masters compared to the rest of the cast. There is an excessive amount of chewing-the-scenery-to-pieces and even more an amount of somnambulant sounding-drunk acting. The direction makes failed student film project directing look more professional. Overall, wasn't bad to begin with but everything else when it rapidly went down south was a disaster. 2/10 Bethany Cox

IMDb cites the budget for this epic at 4,000,000, but that cannot be. It is impossible to discern where such a sum could be on screen. The camera work and cinematography are at the amateur-hour level. Aside from the much-mentioned head cropping, the picture quality constantly shifts - a scene featuring a redneck couple in a pickup truck looks like it was shot on a non-HD digital camcorder - and character reaction shots seldom match up. The special effects are also distinctly unspecial. For instance, the supposedly important demon emerging from Hell is visually incoherent, as are many of the 'fight' scenes, all of which possess only rudimentary CGI. I rented this in anticipation of a B-movie extravaganza of Danny Trejo and Eric Roberts schlock, but I was robbed! Instead, I was subjected to two thespian non-entities with Danny and Eric making the odd appearance (and I have no idea what Eric Roberts' character was supposed to represent or be doing - probably exactly what Eric thought). Furthermore, the film makes little sense and the conclusion is abruptly reached nonsense, all of which adds to the incredulity regarding the apparent budget. $4,000 I could believe, but $4,000,000? Either the figure cited is a mistake or Danny Trejo and Eric Roberts charge a lot for cameos!

I apologize in advance to anybody who was involved in making this movie, but it was horrible piece of crap! I could not finish it. The acting was terrible, the plot was cobbled together and the script was poor and did nothing to make me care about any of it. Special affects were horrible and some of them just didn't fit at all. I know what they were trying to achieve, but they missed the mark completely.I wasted at least 30-40 minutes of my life before I made the decision to pull the plug on it. If I hadn't have gotten this as a free rental I would have been furious. I wouldn't even call this a 'B' movie, more like a 'C' maybe a 'D'.Do not waste your time. Watch something else instead like paint drying.

This is the first movie I actually just ejected out of the DVD player and completely bailed on. I had hope on the first scene, which wasn't bad as far as a low budget movie goes, but it just collapsed from there. Not one single actor here has any more experience than a freshmen level drama class, and I don't necessarily mean college. And the tiny scenes with veterans Eric Roberts and Danny Trejo, who gave Oscar worthy performances by comparison, just made you see how absolutely bad the rest of the cast were. Then the amateurs are given a limp, vapid, and clichéd script desperately crammed with exposition, which again, I tried to overcome. Then the direction and editing pound the final nail in the coffin. Scenes where "actors" blow their lines and try to repeat them are left in uncut. The laptop grade CGI effects are teased but then never used. After the fight scene in the garage where all the punches and special effects were all off-screen , I cried uncle and hit eject. There's a reason the first scene is the DVD cover, its the only successful part of the movie.
