GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

stingstungme ..was the rating on another movie site. That isn't the one I give it. When I saw 5.9, I figured it would be a decent movie at minimum. After the third or fourth spoken line, I paused the movie and checked the rating. The acting was that freaking bad. It said 5.9/10. I returned to the movie. I figured it would get better.I checked the spoiler box so if you missed it, you have one last chance to flee.When part of the group was released at the beginning, I thought to myself, "Oh they are getting rid of the bad actors. I won't have to see them again. The movie is really going to start rolling!" WRONG! The released group was taken to a private room and we would spend the rest of the movie TRAPPED with them.When it was revealed they had to kill off one another, I erroneously assumed they would kill off the worst actors first. Wrong yet again.If you haven't picked up on it yet, the movie is filled with bad acting. The only believable actor was the preacher (Thomas Howell). Everyone else was bad. Some ridiculously worse than others.When a movie fails, people discuss why so. Some say it was the acting and others will say it was the story or the lines. With this I can honestly say it was both. If you replaced these actors with Oscar winners, the movie would still fail because the dialogue sucks. There is nothing there.What makes things worse is that we never hear each person's story. How can you figure out who is the guiltiest when you don't know why most are there? It seemed as though there was quite a few innocents.The basic idea behind this was interesting but that's all.

gerry barnaby Film Reviewer Likes : The entire premise of The Devil's Dozen is pretty obvious to anyone who's a fan of portmanteau horror, twelve disparate strangers are thrown together in a room and must recount their past misdeeds. The gimmick here is that someone must be killed every twelve minutes and it's up to the group to ensure the sole survivor is the most righteous one. This has that tale of the crypt keeper feel to it but it not a brilliant film or an Oscar winner, with the ending it show it also has that film devil concept to it, but this is one film I wouldn't rush out to buy on DVD. It is how ever a DVD you should rent first before paying out the price in the store for it, because it wasn't the greatest film to watch has this type of film has been done some many time there getting old.Dislikes : Where do I start, the subplot to the script is seriously poor in telling the story because there is not back story of any reason given than the fact they have to kill each other, the actor was OK but it wasn't brilliant, there was a few actor that weren't convincing at all it felt wooden at time like they've fresh out of acting school or still students of acting.The fact that the story is they have to kill each other in 12 minutes you don't get to feel or get a feeling for the characters because there no time to real get to know them & what they've done to realise why their there.it a very poor written film in script the concept is good but I think it could of been better.

pabrookes The entire premise of The Devil's Dozen is pretty obvious to anyone who's a fan of portmanteau horror — twelve disparate strangers are thrown together in a room and must recount their past misdeeds. The gimmick here is that someone must be killed every twelve minutes and it's up to the group to ensure the sole survivor is the most righteous one.So herein lie the two big issues with this film. Firstly, as someone who's enjoyed the likes of the Vault of Horror and Tales from the Crypt movies, I knew pretty much how it was going to end. Secondly, as eleven people have to die in about seventy minutes, there's no time to develop any of the characters, so they end up as crude stereotypes.Its only saving grace is that, for something clearly filmed on a micro-budget, the production values are pretty good.This would — with fewer characters and less gore — have made a pretty good episode of The Twilight Zone. But I wouldn't recommend it as a film.

Flow We had "House of 9", we had "Would you rather" now we have "The Devil's Dozen". Movies with the same plot are starting to become a phenomenon sadly, cause lets face it, we have 100 The Blair Witch Project & Paranormal Activity copies, easily another 200 zombie movies per year, exorcism films are becoming a trend and haunted houses + gore are becoming something of a natural thing here.Did we need "The Devil's Dozen? No! Is it really that bad? Well let's think: 1) the acting, especially from the ladies, is laughable, annoying and just sad. 2) there is one Afro-American here and they made a complete stereotype out of him. 3) way too easy to predict. at one point one character says "I did not see that coming". Hah! That was one funny line tho. 4) originality? far from it. 5) nice kill-shots? nothing like that here. 6) logic? escaped from min 5 I think, run away and left you alone with Devil's Dozen. maybe you'll be luckier, and see it with some friends and laugh a little.Therefore, The Devil's Dozen is nothing new, nothing impressive, slightly under average, not a complete letdown, but it's way too easy to find something better. Therefore, my advice, leave it, try "House of 9" that one has some good parts as I remember.Anyway, if you do decide to watch it, and you have seen other horrors like it, post a comment here, tell us what you think, is this a good add to the gender, or sadly, another Dozen movie.....
