Review of Ogre

Ogre (2008 TV Movie)
2/10
Gingers snaps into a really bad movie
28 June 2009
Bo Duke is the leader of a small town that existed outside of time since the '50's (1850's to be exact). For the inhabitants of said town to continue to exist ageless and disease-free, the townspeople have to sacrifice one of their own to a horribly-CGI'd ogre. Cue a group of curious college students who are searching for the mythical town 150 years later and find more then they bargained for.

There was a time when John Schnieder was beloved by millions as one half of the Duke Brothers on the mega-hit show "the Dukes of Hazzard" & then the cult hit "Smallville", seeing that this film starred him piqued my interest. But the moment I saw the incredibly lame 'ogre', I realized that I'd be in for a fiasco. An emotionless, acted-by-the-numbers fiasco. No one really stands out besides Schneider (and even then only because of his past glory) thus making this film highly forgettable fluff. Catherine Isabelle of Ginger Snaps fame also has her talents wasted as the put-upon daughter of the town's leader.

My Grade: D

DVD Extras: Just trailers for this film, "Sharks in Venice", "Ba'al: the storm god", "Way of War", & "Contract Killers"
