Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Platypuschow Eternal Damn Nation was a horror I found on the Youtube channel Kings Of Horror, a page that showcases independent horror but alas mostly the worst of the worst.It begins well with a fantastic scene and soundtrack so that certainly got it off to a promising start. Alas the lack of budget is very apparent, the requirement in a movie like this for sfx is very frequent and they range from average to dreadful.Thankfully the cinematography is better than you'd expect due to filters, good camera work and a few sneaky shortcuts.It tells the story of a girl who comes under attack by the forces of darkness and the mysterious stranger who comes to her aid. Sure this is hardly original but it actually manages a decent payoff.Poor action, crappy sfx and some embarassing acting hold it back from being anything even remotely special but it manages to remain watchable regardless.Eternal Damn Nation is one of those good bad movies, that's an absolute mess but if you sift through it's flaws there is entertainment to be had.The Good:Great openingFilters disguise limited budget fairly wellGreat soundtrackDecent twistThe Bad:Some of the cinematography is weakAction is a bit naffSome laughable over actingThings I Learnt From This Movie:Wade through enough crap and you'll always find corn

Leofwine_draca ETERNAL DAMN NATION is a typical slice of indie horror nonsense about two characters. It's about a dysfunctional couple who end up teaming up: the guy is a mysterious loner, devoid of interest, while the woman is supposedly plagued by invisible demons. What follows is an unconvincing depiction of small town life invaded by supernatural forces. There's a tame sex scene, some wooden acting, and a few artistic moments, but generally this is a seen-it-all-before bore.

sgcim The director also wrote, produced and starred in this film, so you've got to give him credit for pulling off a good supernatural flick on a low budget. The acting, direction, camera work, dialogue and score were all good, so it was a cut above the trash you usually see in these types of movies. There were some good rock tunes in it, but it also had some good orchestral/choral music for the historical parts with Lucifer, heaven, the angels, etc... The story line was similar to the Prophecy movies, but I liked the twist at the end, which added some more complexity to the typical good vs. evil plot. I also liked the fact that it struck a good balance between the darker and lighter tone of the film, which kept it from getting too monotonous.

MartinHafer Generally, I like IMDb's policy that reviews must meet a certain minimum length to be posted. Originally folks could post just a few words about a film and that was it--a lousy way to do a review. However, there are STILL a few cases where I DO wish I could just say 'it's bad' or 'I loved it' (if it's a blockbuster with 183482342 reviews already). In the case of "Eternal Damn Nation", I thoroughly disliked the film but don't want to come off as too mean or go on and on about what I didn't like. This being said, it's not very good and hope that perhaps the filmmaker and his crew and actors could all just use this as a chance to make their mistakes, learn their craft and get better. I wish them luck...but did not like the film in the least.
