Long time to be sitting bored. Review on Long Time Dead Movie

Another British film, I must say I’m not partial to British films they don’t tend to be as good as the American ones, I know lots of people will disagree with me there! Still, Long Time Dead was about ouija boards and I am partial to them, anything a bit different. Well, the ouija board is in the film for all of five minutes, the only good five minutes in the entire film. This is because none of the cast talk. The film is about a group of teenagers who decide they might like to try the ouija board while out clubbing one night (as you do). So they all take a trip down to the dark, cold, completely quiet basement (which ALL nightclubs in our area have!!) and rip up bits of paper (which you always carry with you when you go clubbing) and make a ouija board. A spirit is then contacted and they break the link to the spirit and it’s trapped in their world and wants to kill them all. Obviously it’s an evil spirit, a Djinn in case anyone wants to know (previously cast in Wishmaster). This film could have been good, there is a storyline there but they don’t make anything of it.

The acting is terrible, really wooden. Like they are reading the scripts while filming. Nobody of any note in the film, you may recognise Matthew Rose from Eastenders who plays Joe. The scenes also all look as if they have been filmed in the same place, I think they just rented out a warehouse and didn’t leave until they finished filming. Someone also lent them their loaf of bread on wheels (VW van), which featured more than any of the cast. I got bored of the film about twenty minutes in and didn’t really pay much attention to the rest of it. Don’t go and see this film if you are tired because you will fall asleep!

Not a film I would recommend anyway, they did leave the ending open but I don’t think that there will be another, unless someone lends them a tenner for the budget again.
