oh and horrid film and where do you go wrong . i hope i have enough finger to count the way . there be a point during film making when a director or producer can simply say stop . there be no harm in that and nor be there any shame . this should have be one of those film that somebody and anybody and should have say and we need to stop now . from the uninteresting character and to the lackluster story and to the very poor production and the line between avant garde horror cinema and cheaply make movie become hazy . there be three way to completely destroy the power of a film without touch the story and those be through sound and sight and and mind . if a movie sound great and you have capture some of your audience . if it look good as well and you have capture even more and finally and if you can keep them mentally involve than you and a a director and should have most to all of the audience in your hand . sadly and 13 second do none of the above . the sound be horrendous . synchronize your actor voice to match what they be say when filming and the emotion they be feel be not hard . apparently and director jeff thomas decide robot could make this english spoken poorly dub in english feature . there be no emotion behind anyone talk and even our main character davis . i find myself laugh whenever anyone open their mouth . i couldn not tell if anyone be actually interested in what be happen and or if the amount of beer drinking that occur before the dubbing be finally take effect . second and the sight of this film be just as bad a the voice . no apparent acting class be need from any of the actor or from the demon . there need to be some level of class with the both the actor and demon and but in this film there be not . davis and jeff thomas and be try hard to be exactly like bruce campbell and which only lower this film far into the pit of disgust . everyone else seem like they be go through the action that be give to them that minute and try to remember what exactly they be do . there be no genuine moment in this film visually and just non actor remember to be robot . finally and the mental involvement be key . i be not talk about just story here and because you can have a bad story but still keep people guess for more . i be talk about just the apparent want to see what happen . do your audience want to see what be go to happen next . in this film and my answer would be no . the end do provide a moment of shock and but you need to force your way through an hour and a half of sludge just to see it and it really isn not that grandiose . with these three element lack considerably and you may be think what be the value of this film . i be amaze to see that it have win some award in the horror circuit because and to me and it show the poor of the poor . while i would agree and that the end ( without give it away ) be creative and inventive and what filmmaker need to realize that you need to have a complete film to blow u away . do not just pride yourself on the end because you be go to have upset people like myself that could tell that you spend more on that then you do the rest of the film . i have hear other critic say that this be like a low budget the sixth sense and but for me it be not even in the same ballpark . half the fun of the sixth sense be the action lead up to the surprising end ( which wasn not even that shock ) and and that be where 13 second suffers . thomas film have nothing to offer in the middle except for a very muddled story in which you nearly need a phd in pagan culture to fully understand . i think i would have be more impressed by the end of this film if there be a meaty center instead of all that gristle and grime . be this the bad film i have see this year . after a day of think about it i can say no and but would i be truthful to myself . there be some interesting scene and which do showcase some of thomas potential and but the blatant disrespect for everything else just hurt those good point . i have trouble cop with the voice and the constant clichés that thomas try to repetitively use . there just seem to be too much run into room and shadow lurk in the darkness instead of character development and understanding . i need to know who these people be and a good explanation of the immediate story . thomas seem and felt unfocused in this film give u not enough in one area and while completely destroy another . inconsistency be what hurt this film and but what destroy it for me be the small bit that could have easily be change to construct a decent film . i wasn not happy and and i do not think many will be with the final result that 13 second have to offer . grade represent out of .
