The Calling (I) (2000)
1/10
Needless dead animals and awful acting
7 August 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I wish I could give 0. This is terrible. The negative feelings toward this terrible film started (no, not with the immediate terrible acting) with the image of a skewered guinea pig on a fence - first, what the hell is a guinea pig doing in a park? Secondly, I don't understand why films need to stoop to the level of killing and torturing animals to 'shock' (I am a seasoned horror fan and enthusiast, however I draw the line at animals suffering). I turned the film off when the child kicked his dog - and I'm glad, after reading another review which says that he then goes on to hang his dog. Luckily I didn't spend any money on this - it was shown on the Horror Channel late at night. But other than what I've pointed out, the acting is terrible, the film didn't explain itself very well - I didn't know what was going on. What I did get from this film is that it was trying and terribly failing to be The Omen. But hey, don't take it from me. I turned the film off after about 20 minutes.
