Only one question......why??

Ok, take yourself a dozen really bad actors, actors that are so bad at what they do that they even get rejected for soaps and adverts, a plot that makes no sense at all, a location that couldn't be scary if it tried for a hundred years, and a guy who who decided to shoot this whole mess on his home camcorder, with his son walking around with the sound mike thats really his toy karaoke machine and then you have an idea what 13th child is all about.

I can't give away the plot because it lacks one right from the beginning. And the only reason I actually sat through the whole of this joke of a film was because I had the feeling......"its got to get better........." but alas, it didn't. The only good thing I can say about this film was the fact it wasn't longer.

Avoid this if you can or watch it if your insane!

Better avoid this movie.

There's nothing much to be said about this one. It is simply a really bad movie!

It is boring, not scary, makes no sense, has not ambiance, the actors need extra classes, the effects are painful, and the monster himself was so bored with the whole thing that it must have gone away before they could finish shooting!

Terrible

As I began to watch this i started to realise that something was wrong. i checked the little plastic slip and found to my surprise that it was made in 2003 here is a quick breakdown as to why i was so surprised:

Acting/Acting stars : Terrible = 0

Camera work : Terrible = 0

SFX: non existant + availability at date of relese = -10 (yes thats minus 10)

Storyline: basic, brainless and at times difficult to follow = 0

Comedy value: so bad in places its funny = 10

Horror value: non existant, a slight disadvantage to a horror movie me thinks = 0

Overall: This horror movie is about as scary as a walk in the park on a warm summers day. As such should only be watched for comedy value (by the way i only gave it 10 in comedy to make it back up to 0)
