666: THE PROPHECY is ANOTHER end of the world/prophecy type religious horror film brought to us by SAW II director Darren Lynn Bousman. He's an odd choice to helm a film like this, but after watching it I can say it doesn't really matter; this film is a mess anyway, lacking both budget and adequate lighting, and the story that plays out is the most predictable you'll see.The film was financed by American backers but apparently shot in Spain. The dull protagonist finds his life haunted by the number 11.11 and is soon convinced that some world-changing event is coming about that only he can prevent. There's a massive twist here, but it'll surprise nobody watching, and the rest of the film is mired in poor acting and over-dark cinematography. Some brief but rubbery effects don't help much. The best thing I can say about 666: THE PROPHECY is that I liked Wendy Glenn and that there's some adequate foreboding built up along the way, but that resolution really is poor. As a whole the film is similar to the Jim Carrey vehicle THE NUMBER 23, but just as disappointing.

After the death of his wife and child, an author travels to Barcelona to see his estranged brother and dying father, where he learns that his life is plagued by events that occur on 11/11/11.This film comes from the mind and eye of Darren Lynn Bousman, one of the modern masters of horror. The movie as a whole did not do that well and one review called it "uninspired". I will say this criticism is not warranted. While not his best work, this is by no means a terrible film.We have a great Kathy Bates reference, and even Urantia is worked into the plot (which may be the first time I have ever seen that). The film was most popular in Brazil and Russia, for reasons that are unclear to me -- it could easily have been a minor hit right here in the states... why was it not?

11-11-11 was almost as bad as discussion forums say it is. The cinematography was on point, the acting was good, and the plot was engaging enough but it only had TV movie quality and the climax was terrible with unnecessary special effects to match. Costumes and makeup were equally as terrible. The script was bad. You expect more from Darren Lynn Bousman but you're not gonna get it here. It's low budget all the way but if it had a better script, I think he could've made it work. The payoff isn't good. You'll feel like you wasted your time because the ending is so poorly done. The Collector and The Woman in Black are good examples of how things should happen when trapped inside of a house of freaks. Not that The Collector is a good movie in comparison to The Woman in Black, which is a damn good movie and recommended, but it's the path that 11-11-11 should've followed in act three leading up to the climax. As it is, the ending comes across as going through a county fair haunted house ride. The movie isn't completely bad because I watched the whole movie but definitely not great. I've seen worse (Ultraviolet, The Day the Earth Stood Still).

First of all, anyone who has ever lost a child needs to stay the hell away from this movie. For real. It's harsh.This movie premise had potential. But it promptly derailed into WTF country. First, the soundtrack. The overly intense, Latin chanting filled, LOUD, and ever so dramatic music just ruined any creepy factors. The music was DAH-DAAAAAAHing nonstop. Also, how was it that Joe couldn't speak Spanish? How do you manage to grow up in Spain and not learn even basic tourist Spanish? And then poor Joe just kept seeing Emperor Palpatine everywhere. The twist was super predictable. At the church service, when his brother got all creepy and looked at him (amidst lurking Sith Lords), I was shrugged and went "Oh, he's the anti-Christ", but the OMG TWIST really was botched.Sadie was about the most pointless character.
