An American journalist accompanied by her colleague and her photographer boyfriend travel in Poland to unravel the mystery about an american student that has been missing since his trip to a village in Poland. When they get there strange things start happening. They sight a strange cloud of smoke near the village woods and find the same statement mentioning the cloud in missing student's diary (which they recovered from the students mother before the trip) How original, right? Bla bla bla, Poland is a creepy, undeveloped dump, where poor americans find no shelter and are hated by everyone but children who seem to speak english although the village itself does not have electricity or any kind of communication to the rest of the world and therefore America. In spite of villagers warnings and threats not to go near the cloud, they of course, being Americans and therefore smarter than stupid South Eastern European people ignore these remarks and head out to solve the mystery. Little do they know how fucked they're going to be.
Reasons this movie sucks:
1. Poland is actually Canada (the movie was filmed in Canada)
2. they don't speak actual polish in the movie (there are some cardinal mistakes in the pronunciation)
3. that statue in the mist reminds me too much about something I already saw in another movie
4. If we omit the fact that this has a horrible and unoriginal story, the fact that stereotyping characters is one of the main thing the writer uses to develop them, it was enjoyable.
I liked gore moments, which were really innovative, how the movie obviously took inspiration from exorcist like movies and the surprising twist the movie exposed just as I thought of leaving the room. It's worth watching if you're really a big horror fan.
Also if you could somehow cut out the boring parts and only leave the ones where they kill people and exorcise demons that would be awsum!
Btw, haven't seen any other movies by this guy, but I'm thinking about downloading Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2007) .
