7/10
The end is near... If you believe...
4 November 2011
"After the tragic death of his wife and child, famed American author Joseph Crone travels from the United States to Barcelona, Spain to reunite with his estranged brother Samuel and dying father, Richard. However, fate has a different plan for Joseph as his life becomes plagued with strange happenings and the constant sightings of the number 11. Curiosity quickly turns to obsession, and Joseph soon realizes that this number holds a horrific meaning not only to himself but possibly to all of religion. Isolated in a foreign country with only the support of his companion, Sadie, Joseph soon realizes that 11/11/11 is more than just a date, it's a WARNING!"

For all you Darren Lynn Bousman Saw fans out there do not expect anyone to get blown to bits or sliced apart or ground into human hamburger... this film is one that will have you jump out of your seat rather than puke on your popcorn. Visual trickeries, eerie sounds and music will set the tone here. The Spanish scenery is enjoyable and the cast plays very well. The undertone of the film has an Omen-like quality that comes to a head toward the end on the title date in the film.

Overall a good thriller especially if you are a church goer, bible reader or believe that the end of our existence rests in the hands of the supernatural rather than our own selfish destruction of this otherwise perfect planet.

I enjoyed this film and give it 7 of 10 for corny demon make up and a few overly obvious CGI bits. Otherwise worth the watch... maybe even a second time...
