Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

If you've ever seen a mega-church Halloween hell house you know exactly how this goes. Except for the boobies and f-bombs, I can easily imagine this being shown to the church youth group. They should really consider making a nudity free cut for the church circuit.The monster costumes were surprisingly good practical effects. Yeah, it is obviously humans in costumes, but it still looked better and more "real" than the terrible CGI you get in a lot of low-budget films. Props for that.The setting was pretty good too. It was believable as a dilapidated abandoned hospital. The lighting was sufficient to see what you needed to see.The acting was not very good, but that is par for the course with low budget horror movies. Pretty much made-for-TV quality acting.The dialog was clumsy. Especially the swearing. The swearing was really inauthentic and a bit random, as though written by someone who doesn't swear but decided a movie about "bad people" needed swearing.A basic morality play. You probably won't find it scary unless it is the first horror movie you've ever seen though. It is more concerned with pushing a moral than in being frightening or entertaining.

Kingdom Come is based on a cool and somewhat original premise. The acting is kind of shaky but passable. The problem I had with it was that instead of building something creative off of that premise, the filmmaker merely gives us a dime-a-dozen B-grade horror flick. It's really too bad, because the film maker here could have made this movie into a really good mind f!@k for the viewers by giving us a tale about sin, redemption, faith, etc. the fact that it (spoiler here!) touches upon the abortion issue was also rather tasteless. As far as the camera work went, is the director aware that Thomas Edison invented something called a light bulb more than a century ago? The film is so dark it's hard to see what's going on at times.Overall, expect to see this movie played at 2am on the SyFy network.

Seems to have a solid premise, and it kept me interested for about half an hour. Then the pace dropped and the dialogue fell apart, with lots of irritating Q&A and some lines that any actor would be ashamed to deliver. Apart from the guy who plays the devil with a double helping of blue cheese: "enduring that kind of pain must be unbearable - mwahaha". Yes, that bad. You end up with cardboard characters in a dumb morality play. Plus the premise becomes confused because the victims start out dead, but then two are alive. Plus those stupid demons. Not only is there nothing new in this, it deteriorates so badly that you can sense the cast losing all conviction.It is worth waiting to find out why the little girl is in the movie. But too many things have gone wrong by that stage. Totally ham-fisted.

This is what happens every Halloween - an abundance of really bad horror films.'Kingdom Dumb' is another one of those 'a group of strangers, probably already dead, awake in a strange place.' Instead of keeping us guessing for a total of thirty seconds, the director just threw this group of idiots in an abandoned hospital, letting us know right away where the twist was heading. The acting is dreadful, although whenever you have a guy playing Satan, whether it be Al Pacino or the guy in this pile of crap - you should expect some overacting, since the part usually calls for it. So, he ends up being the one character in the film somewhat tolerable.Random Ramblings of a Madman: 'Kingdom Dumb' is a horribly dull film - something even the worst horror films should never be.
