Warning: Spoilers
I agree with the other reviews. It's a cluster f*** of other movies mashed together, you don't feel for the characters, and overall the acting was not so great. *SPOILER* Here is why I felt the need to write a review. The premise is that the devil invented cinema in order to steal souls, and the Le Prince family gets possessed by him each generation. OK so that is like 5 or 10 souls every 15 to 20 years, seems like the devil would work on a bigger scale but whatever. The real kicker for me is he can't take your soul without the camera. The fu**ing devil is possessing someone (not just a demon THE DEVIL), but he can't get ya if you just close your eyes or look away from the camera. WTF. I can't believe this didn't land in any other reviews, but just this fact alone makes the movie 100% laughable. I was waiting for them to be like "I closed my eyes devil ya can't get me ooooh, home base, I'm safe". It's not the worst thing ever, but it is an hour and a half you won't get back.
