POSSESSION IS 9/10TH OF THE LAW
SIX DEGREES OF HELL is a rather perverse twist on the six degrees of separation theory. Writer/director/co-star Joe Raffa weaves a tale of ghostly possession and psychobabble focusing on young June and the psychic forces she is destined to release upon the world.
A clever premise falters at times, with incoherent plotholes and reckless sound editing. The performances are on a community theatre level. Some of the make-up effects are good but due to its obviously limited budget, there are some laughable ones, too. Some of the blood looks like tomato juice.
The presence of Corey Feldman as a punkish paranormal investigator adds little more than a vehicle for narrative exposition. The final scene seems an indication of a potential sequel.
SIX DEGREES is entertaining in a sleazy way and rental would be wiser than purchasing. One viewing should be enough.
IT'S HERE
The film consists of a "Dead TV" group who operate a Haunted Hotel, one with an evil history. The script centers around June (Nicole Cinaglia) a young lady who is a "psychic beacon." The basic idea, which was not well developed, is that satan(?) of some evil desires to leave hell. This is done in a six step or six degree process which requires killing individuals close to June.
Part of the picture consists of a psychic who is called in to investigate what had happened. It gave zero contribution to the film other than set up for a sequel. The execution of the Horror Hotel itself I enjoyed. The special effects were decent. The dialouge needed improvement. The film seemed to have either been poorly written, directed, or died on the editing floor as it didn't come together the way a horror film should come together, i.e. it had good scenes, they just didn't tie them together properly to hold our interest.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, corpse nudity.
Holy Horrible Horror flick
First let me say that I'm a big Horror movie fan, and this my friends was just plain embarrassing!! Corey Feldman was terrible, I think that all those years of partying have fogged his ability to even halfass act!! This was NO LOST BOYS!! This movie jumped around way too much, and the acting in general sucked! The only thing about this movie that was entertaining was that it was so corny it made you have to laugh at times. So, don't waste your time or money.
