13 Seconds takes you into a deadly art gallery that reveals death and torture on every canvas that comes to life in the most horrifying way - and shows the evil that lies within each of us. We all have thirteen seconds - just enough time to live out our last nightmares, before the devil comes.
That's what the back on the dvd says.
If I would have written the synopsis on the back of the dvd, it would have read:
Wanna be rock band goes to haunted art gallery to record their new album. Only instead, they do a bunch of drugs and get all freaked out because the blank pictures on the walls start showing images of themselves being slaughtered and killed by a creepy, white, devil man who drools.
I'm trying to think of something to even say about this movie.
I guess the first thing I noticed was that it was all over the place. It felt like the director had a really bad case of A.D.D and couldn't complete a scene without losing his track of thought and going to the next scene - only to remember he had something going on and jumping back to try to finish the previous scene, but still unable to do it, thus going back to the scene before it. Or after it, or...
Wow, I actually kinda feel like that director just trying to write that last run on sentence.
The other thing that bothered me was the fact that NOTHING lasted 13 seconds (except the directors attention span) It states that they have 13 seconds to live out their worst nightmares, only I counted and it was always waay longer than 13 seconds. Why name your movie that, and then lie?
Now, I know that when trying to watch over a thousand horror movies, you are going to come across many low budget films. I'm prepared for that, and the sad thing is, I know this isn't going to be the worst movie I view during this journey, not by a looong shot.
The movie was bad. The story was bad. The acting was bad. The sound effects were over done. The stunts were cheesy.
But, the monster was spooky and the gore was ok, and sometimes even believable (Look at me, finding something good to say. )
Overall, I would say to totally skip this film. I'm not really sure how it got a distrubution deal in the first place.
