Lo Review

Love presents many challenges to couples…but none so daunting as the one Justin faces with his girlfriend April. Kidnapped by demons, April’s mystery begins to unfold when he finds an ancient book that she has left behind. Using the book, he contacts the demon Lo, ordering it to help him rescue his girl from the fiery pits.
Lo takes a good concept for a film and then makes a not so good film from it. The apparent low budget could be forgiven, but the stage play setup and extremely cheesy parts sprinkled throughout the film take away from the experience. Fans of extremely cheesy films may disagree with me and may enjoy that aspect of it, but it definitely wasn’t for me. The character Lo was done pretty well and was my favorite part of the film, but on the flip side I totally hated the demon Jeez along with his corny song. Jeez should have been more scary than comical, since Lo was able to pull off the terrifying, yet funny at times role. The protagonist Justin was hit and miss, at times he reminded me of Bruce Campbell from Evil Dead, especially with some of the facial expressions, but other times he just overdid it.
The main problem with the film is it was very inconsistent and just when I started liking a part, they interrupted it with something stupid. With a bigger budget and some better editing it could have been good. Lo still had some redeeming value and some people may enjoy it, but it won’t be for everyone.

@Xinara Dae – Point taken, however I HATE big budget eye candy. I tried to like Lo, and did like some parts, but as an overall movie there were the bad parts pointed out that took away from the good parts.

Perhaps your love of the big budget,eye candy crap put out by most studios has jaded your taste for a story well told and imaginatively presented? This film is one I would challenge any who see it to soon forget. The haunting tale will both amuse and delight. As for as Jeez, I enjoyed the moments he had in the movie, after all, all demons are not alike; I would imagine Hell would be pretty boring otherwise. Films are created to entertain and perhaps move the viewer in some way, this film accomplishes both. I would suggest it to anyone.
My rating? 8/10
