Hallowed Ground (2007/Genius)
Picture:
C Sound: C+ Extras: C- Film: D
People
are being crucified and killed as scarecrows in David Benullo’s tired,
unoriginal exploitation flick Hallowed
Ground (2007) where a young lady and friend are trapped in a small town and
all those there are part of a sick cult.
Now they want her (Wicker Man
style) to sacrifice so they can full some sick prophecy. Unfortunately, Benullo wrote the script and
cannot find anything original top put in it, the ultimate horror of watching
this often violent without a point mess.
This one should be left on the ground.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image looks poor, with detail troubles, motion
hazing and a host of other flaws that make it even annoying to watch. The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix can be harsh and is
uneven in its use of surrounds. Trailers
are the only extras and we can see why.
