Kill Katie Malone (2010)

Undescribable Perfection

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Absolutely the worst movie.

I must admit that I had initially expected a bit more from "Kill Katie Malone" than what actually was presented on the screen. The DVD movie that I acquired was titled "The Haunting of Katie Malone", not "Kill Katie Malone", so needless to say that I had expected more in the ghost and haunting department."Kill Katie Malone" turned out to be a late teenage horror movie laced with elements of supernatural horror in form of an apparition. Was it scary? Far from it. Was it entertaining? Mildly so.I don't really understand why Dean Cain was brandished as headlining on the movie cover, because he was in the movie less than 5 minutes. Sure, I know that it was because he was the most famous of all the cast in the movie, but it was so wrongfully a means of luring people in.The story in "Kill Katie Malone" was a mediocre storyline which really didn't make much sense. It is about an ancient box which contains the malevolent spirit of Katie Malone. Anyone who buys the box will own her spirit and can set her free, but always with a deadly result. Once freed of captivity in the box, the owner can only part with the malevolent spirit by selling the box to someone else.There were aspects of the story that were fair and interesting enough, but the overall picture was one of being less than mediocre. So don't get your hopes up for this movie.The acting in the movie was adequate though, despite the fact that the actors and actresses were struggling with an inadequate storyline and script.For a horror movie, then "Kill Katie Malone" was frightfully devoid of anything scary or capable of making you jump in your seat. So that was an anchor around the movie."Kill Katie Malone" was hardly a memorable movie in any sense, and it wasn't one that left any lasting impression in the horror genre.

The plot: A trio of college students buy a box with a ghost in it, not expecting the box to truly be haunted.Kill Katie Malone is basically a combination of the Robert Louis Stevenson short story "The Bottle Imp" and some stupid eBay auctions that caught the attention of the media, when people tried to sell ghosts. Predictably, eBay wasn't very amused, and it's now against their Terms of Service to sell ghosts, haunted items, or other supernatural things.Apparently, these kids got in before the ban, and they buy a haunted box. Ooooh, creepy. The ghost allegedly has the power to grant wishes, but it's very clingy and family-oriented. If you say anything about abandoning her or breaking up the family, it tries to kill you. The only way to get rid of it is to sell it on eBay.This is an absolutely ridiculous idea for a movie. The Robert Louis Stevenson story was actually quite interesting, because it offered what seemed like an unsolvable paradox. Kill Katie Malone, however, is just a generic slasher with a stupid plot. I'd have trouble recommending it to anyone, even bored teenagers. If you've got nothing else to do, I suppose you could waste your time on this, but I'm not sure why you would bother, when you could memorize prime numbers or the digits of pi. Either would probably be more exciting than watching this movie.

Come on. Why is it, anytime someone has wishes they never wish for 1 trillion dollars? Lame movie, lame characters, lame everything. Stay away from this movie. The wishes let you down. Give me three wishes 1.) 1 trillion dollars 2.) Immortality 3.) 3 more wishes. Why not give the ghost to a frat house or to some poor from the ghetto capitalist business student with a evil history of his own or something. No lets give it to three lame as students who wish for a rose a $40 bucks. As soon as I saw that there were going to be no 1 trillion dollar wishes I returned to browse in netflix. I am the kind of guy that reads a description of a movie where a ghost is giving college students wishes and I am all in. Then they wish for a rose and $40 bucks and it comes true and the first thing that comes to there mind to prove that it wasn't one of them pulling a prank was to wish for something without the others knowing what it is. No to prove that it wasn't a prank you wish for 1 trillion dollars. Retards.

When I first saw the trailer, I knew the movie would be filled with action and moments of WOW! It's not the average slice and dice, it makes you pay attention. Katie is a bad little girl but you love her. Lil J's performance is amazing! He's believable as the side kick friend. You have to watch this movie from beginning to end! Great for a low budget thriller!!! I can't wait to rent me a copy of this movie and watch it over and over at home. It's not for everyone's taste. No naked girls, just plain horror and jumping out your skin moments. Dean looks great and it was so good to know that a Hogan CAN act!!! It's one of the "must see" movies of the summer. One you will truly enjoy. American horror at it's best.
