this mess start off with a real tank run over a car and intercut with image of a toy tank . this be follow by a family drive home from a birthday party without say anything . the unexplained tank and the untalkative family take up and i swear and over 10 minute of film . finally and the family see a car after it have be in a wreck and decides to report it to the proper authority and only to find that the citizen of the town be all hide in their house and and the cop be hide in the police station . interesting . almost . when the town folk come out due to the family presence and we learn that both the writer and editor be conspire to substitute suspense with incomprehensible storytelling technique in the hope that the audience inability to tell what go on will somehow bring unease upon the audience . and it work . . but not in the way they think it would . i be very uneasy with how bad this movie be and but not scar at all . the dialogue be compose of thing that make little sense . not in a fun david lynch sort of way and but a sort of i walk in during the middle of a boring conversation sort of way . over the course of the next hour and we learn that the movie maker try to bore u into be afraid by show tediously mundane scene combine with the above mention what go on . type scene . the plot involve something along the line of gentle look old folk put child into a trance through the power of satan and then bring them to a party to play with toy and and an even more sinister intention and and it up to a group of white men ( everybody white in the movie ) to grab their gun and save the day and and a tag a long eye candy woman who whine at the drop of a hat . they look for the kidnapped child by look in random place and yell the kid names . this be a great horror movie for any person who have never see a horror movie because that person be frighten by the mere thought of satanism and paganism and wicca and or even catholicism due to a lifetime diet of brainwash from the trinity broadcast network . this represent satanism a elderly folk in halloween costume with candle while mingle at a party and in front of an ankh . replete with a priest spout completely make up nonsense about satanist and while call them witch . the message that anything that isn not protestantism can be all throw into the same category for easy condemnation . about 30 minute of footage be waste to show mediocre elderly actor awkwardly babble overwrought pseudo satanic gibberish corny enough to make a teen goth blush and almost always in olde english and and sometimes in latin that may or may not be make up word . highlight include a guy laugh at the idea of little green men for a solid 3 minute and a family star out of the window of their car without talk for 10 minute while listen to elevator muzak . a priest study satanism for 4 minute with ooh so scary drawing of demon to scare the church lady crowd . random shot of doll . random shot of child . paint instead of blood at every chance . film school level dream sequence . introduces unimportant character who do nothing before they exit . sometimes and they act a if the nothing that theyre do be a big deal . the directing be sloppy at best . an example of the directing include a scene at the beginning where a man and woman be kiss and the man pull away to look lovingly into her eye and some dark red paint fall on her cheek . look up and they see that it not blood and but droplet from a girl snowcone . snowcones be ice and color or flavored water and and would not have produce droplet of the same texture a paint and not to mention the fact that her snowcone be a bright reddish orange . hackneyed writing and certainly and but make even bad by the bad directing . it then cut to an alternate shot of the man and woman and and girl and show that she stand about four foot away from them and so the snowcone wouldn not have drip on the woman even if she would hold her snowcone out over the woman face . way to go and editor . of course and the acting be blah . the acting by the whole cast could be put on a scale and balance perfectly between overact and underact . the director most offensive technique be to give the actor no motivation and then go out for lunch a the unblinking eye of the camera leer a the actor make fool of themselves . and and finally and after all that and we get to an end that would have be great have it be handle by competent people and not jerry falwell .
