Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Boring, long, and too preachy.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

What. The. Hell?The oddest film I've seen this year. There were bits I really enjoyed, but they were like the chocolate in a fish pie.We start with an interesting scene of two lovers killing each other alternately - watch it to see what I mean. Then the credits show there's real talent in the music and cinematography. Then it's a social drama that develops into a grotesque slice of London's lower class as we're taken inside a tower block inhabited by an unlikely selection of misfits.The acting is very uneven. I liked the lead actress, but several people are given extended lines they aren't fit to deliver. About halfway through the dialogue becomes soap-opera - it's like the actors are trying to explain the film to themselves. The character best written was the bubbly blond, who surfed along as comic relief.At the centre of the chaos is an evil spirit on an abandoned floor of the tower. To get to the secret we have to struggle past gratuitous sex, a parachuted-in love interest, a zombie apocalypse (the literal shambles), a few very funny lines and reactions along with a lame meta commentary where the film takes the P out of how C it is ("Time for a rewrite"), plus a day out for every extra in the London film biz. When we get to the secret the film throws in more social commentary.Overall there are far too many characters, the pace is all over the place, and the tone and themes are confused. I could go on - the Brits have the talent to do good horror but not the conviction to do it consistently.Try two films with a similar feel but much more structure and competence: Scribbler, which has eccentric misfits in an evil tower block + Dead Set, which is the Brits doing satire properly back in 2008.

I don't know what to make of this movie. It was a really weird one. Just when i thought that i knew where the plot was going, it got to a point where I lost it! In the end it made some sense! So it is a mediocre movie and it's up to you if you like it or not. It has its points though.I played this movie for my friends so we could hang out and watch something for fun. Even though they didn't like horror movies so much this got their attention and no complaints were made. I think they actually loved it. As I said I found it mediocre so go figure! Back to the movie! It has ghosts, possession of a kind, weird zombie like creatures, it has it all. Basically though, it is a ghost – possession type of movie. The acting is not that good and the story has potentials, you want to find out what is going on, because you can "see" the question marks piling up above your head.Have fun watching it!

This is a sad excuse of a film.Nothing really happened in the movie.Z-horror flick.Girl looked nice. Mewes looks out of place. 'Fishermen' and 'silent but deadly' where masterpieces compared to this 'homemovie'. It was made in England and it looks like the bleakest place they could find.Camera work was non existent and FX straight out some halloween party store.Was some what sad because I usually root for Jason Mewes films either with Kevin Smith or with out. Looking at the budget of this movie I think Jason Mewes got cheap. Leaped from 10+ to below zero.I will be very cautious with the next one.

I do not normally comment on movies but this one needs to have an alert before you watch it, it is that bad! The Devil's Tower is by far a 'b' grade movie, and yet another zombie one at that. All we see lately is zombies, there's plenty of movies that are better than this one. Roxanne Palette's acting as really gone downhill since she left soap opera's in the UK. She's had a few minor parts in other 'B' grade movies, but they were worse than this one. I watched this one for about the first 20 minutes, that was enough - If you are still in to the Zombie Feast movies then watch it, else if you are like me, you will avoid it like the plague! It must be that time of year again when writers are just throwing out all the rubbish for Halloween.
