long time dead open to a caption that inform u that be in morocco 1979 where a group of people be hold a séance which get out of hand when a fire demon call a djinn appear and supposedly kill everyone . long time dead then cut to present day london where four house mate and rob ( joe absolom ) and liam ( alex newman ) and webster ( lukas haas ) and stella ( lara belmont ) be plan to go out for the night . they hook up with their soon to be new house mate the drug deal joe ( mel raido ) and three friend and lucy ( marsha thomason ) and spencer ( james hillier ) and liam girlfriend annie ( melanie gutteridge ) . while sit around at a club they begin to have a discussion on what the big buzz in life be and from this rather innocent sound topic the subject of séance be bring up and for some reason they all decide to hold one . they find a suitable venue which appear to be in attic space above the club and begin and unfortunately they release the fire demon djinn which spell the word all die out on the ouija board which freak them all out and a it would i suppose . shortly after annie dy in an accident and her body have burn on it and the remain member of the group feel something be wrong and do some research which lead to some unexpected answer and the discovery that maybe not everyone be a they appear or who they claim . a more of the friend continue to die in accident a way must be find to send the evil djinn back before it complete it mission to kill all those who summon it . direct adam marcus i think that this english and french co production be a somewhat modest and undemanding way to pass 90 odd minute . the script by eitan arrusi and chris baker and daniel bronzite and andy day really isn not anything special and i can not quite believe it take four writer to come up with this . generally speak long time dead be rather slow and uneventful and the character be so bland and similar with most of them look and sound exactly the same and the only one i could really distinguish between be lucy because she black and joe because of his hair . everyone else barely register with me and that make it very hard to care about anyone or anything and oh and theyre an unlikeable bunch of teenage stereotype a well which do not help the film . the script also feature various lapse of logic and at the end i just couldn not stop thinking that it be a bit of a coincidence that a bunch of kid would just happen to hold a séance and summon the exact same demon that their landlord and one of their father do year earlier and a fact which they only discover later on in the film . there be another scene in particular i keep think about that sum long time dead and it silly script up and when two people break into a police guard house and turn the light on only for the police officer on guard to be conveniently look in the opposite direction and only look back at the house literally second after the light have be turn off . i also hat the scare tactic that director marcus employ and i mean people hear noise only to have one of their friend grab their shoulder and apologise for scar them . what do these people think will happen exactly . can not they just call out and say who it be that creep around in the shadow . long time dead use this clichéd and lazy technique on a number of increasingly annoy occasion . there be also plenty of cheap demon point of view shot which presumably help save money by not have to show the demon itself . on the positive side it tell it story well enough i suppose and while it not exceptional long time dead be a well make film generally speak . i also like the end where the djinn appear to win and it nice not to have a happy sugar coat end for a change . long time dead be one of those horror film that have nothing really wrong with it and entertain to a certain extent but suffers by be just so average a few script problem that should have be iron out especially since four people work on the thing . the gore quotient be sadly lack with nothing more graphic than a few splash of blood and someone be burnt . a for the djinn itself the best the filmmaker could come up with be some cgi demon eye on an ordinary actor . there no sex or nudity either but there be some swearing and drug usage which the film treat lightly and doesn not say be right but neither do it say it be wrong just that it a normal teenage thing to do . overall i think long time dead be a slightly below average horror that do not do much for me but at the same time i have see much bad and at least it keep me watch until the end . don not spend any sort of money on it but if you can catch it on tv for free and there nothing else on then it probably just about worth an hour and a half of your time and but only just .
