Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
The Worst Film Ever
hyped garbage
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
AVARICE is an indie horror movie, shot very cheaply in a single house with a couple of family members. The plot is a throwback to '80s horror such as MONSTER IN THE CLOSET and has as its protagonist an obnoxious and spoilt little boy who quickly gets on the nerves. The story sees him accidentally summoning up a demon in the attic, but the director seems obsessed with cardboard boxes and endless scenes of the kid running around and hiding, which is about as interesting as it sounds. Certainly there's not much meat to this one.
As I watched this, I got thinking this felt like some family's art project or something. Then I checked the credits. It was. "Mom, dad, kids, let's make a movie!" Now imagine the results. Yup. It's what you're imagining. I gave a couple points for the music. It's not half bad. I thought it better than the crap John Carpenter used to turn out for his films. Otherwise, the acting is stilted. The props were either what was laying around or something that looked like it was constructed for a college play. I'd say "high-school" but it wasn't quite that bad. At least the monster's face was appreciably monstrous. This might be a good film given the MST3K film, but unfortunately, I don't think it can rise to the status of cult film. It's just too dull.
