Review of 13th Child

****spoilers****"13th Child" was really a terrible movie. The acting was bad, the script was worse, and it was one of the least scary horror movies I've ever seen. However, this is still a movie that any Jersey Devil fan would be pleased by. I am a New Jersean, and I have heard all the folklore surrounding the Jersey Devil, and was excited to see this movie. I was partially pleased by it, in the sense that this was a Jersey Devil horror movie, and there was a pretty clever twist. For any average Joe person, I can see why this movie would seem awful. There were parts that were stupid, and there were incredibly boring parts. But, as I said before, Jersey Devil fans will be pleased nontheless. Also, my final and biggest criticism would have to be the way in which the Jersey Devil was portrayed. I have always pictured the Jersey Devil as being vicious and volatile, almost like a velociraptor. In this, the Jersey Devil is a lumbering guy in a costume, with mechanical jaws that move up and down. I think that a more suitable look would be perhaps a computer generated devil. I really think a big-budget Hollywood Jersey Devil movie should be made, just because this independent movie didn't have the money to create the look that I think many people have thought of the Jersey Devil as. Also, the corpses and blood in the movie were incredibly fake. Even more fake that movies made in the 60s and 70s. So, if you're into NJ folklore, and have heard the legend of the Jersey Devil, check it out. It was crappy, boring, and stupid, and the Jersey Devil was a guy in a costume, but a pleaser for fans of the Devil. As for me, I give it a 4 out of 10. ..
