Thoughts? 

Trying to reach the limits of evil... but evil has no limits.

addicted to horror

the plot
A woman receives a strange phone call from her believed to be dead daughter, luring her into the world of a diabolical cult.

the good
- somewhat creepy
- interesting premise
- decent acting
- the opening scene

the bad
- gets worse as it progresses
- confusing storyline
- fails to deliver any scares or thrills
- awful conclusion
- mind-numbingly tedious pacing
- underwhelming production value
- weak jump scare attempts

the ugly
- moderate violence and gore
- low scares and frightening scenes
- moderate nudity and sexual themes
- moderate profanity

things I learned from watching this movie
- a woman and an ex-policeman can be given access to talk with a convicted and deranged criminal
- pythons have different sized nipples
- some diabolical cults are made up of some of the most harmless looking people
- you can find anything on the internet nowadays

summary
Starting off in full force with quite a disturbing opening scene, The Nameless seems to go in the right direction at first, but ultimately ends up taking a path marked by uninteresting plot points and a tedious pace. With the storyline slowly decending into a confusing mess, the scares coming off as cheap and uneffective, and the final twist delivering the killing blow, The Nameless turns out to be nothing more than a waste of time.

horror meter: 2 evil stars (out of 5)
