TRANSYLVANIAN CURSE is another zero budget indie horror flick with a hackneyed and largely uninteresting premise. A bunch of theatre actors hole up in a remote location to rehearse their latest horror play, only to discover that reality and fiction are becoming somewhat mixed. This film's sole saving grace is Robert Englund, finally cast in a leading role instead of appearing in a minor cameo. Englund plays a witness to murder whom nobody believe and is a real hoot; it's a pity the rest of this slow and pedestrian picture can't match him.

John (Robert Englund) is a washed up, 9 week sober actor who scores a gig in Doylestown, Pa....The land of missing pets. If you take note, the German Shepard that later appears was lost near Elm and Pine. Nicholas (Daniel Gadi) has gathered a group of actors for his play, which they will perform at the manor where they all will stay. He has an old book and when the actor touches the book, they become the character in the book, except for John, who in real life is like the character in the play. "Kantemir" is the name of the play which hails from the name of a Bulgarian village. If you read the by-line for the film, you should be able to realize that the play will take on a form of "10 Little Indians."

I guess if you have never seen something like this before, say you are 13, you might find this entertaining. But for a seasoned movie watcher, wait for a Redbox special.

I like to think of myself as a cine-phile.As someone who loves and appreciates he art of watching movies. Finding the appreciation in a work of art can be challenging however. And 'Kantemir' is a prime example of that.

This viewing is painful simply due to the fact it was just a tedious venture. The premise sounds promising. Washed up has beens or never wases gather to perform a play. Then the director shows up. This guy can't act. Not one bit. He looks like he's going to kill someone at any given second. He just looks like a douche.

Non of the actors are memorable. Robert Englund does deliver a string performance considering how weak the script is and how bad the direction he receives is. Cinematography is probably the best thing about this film. Even though it takes place in a few settings the scenes on the mansion look really nice.

The biggest problem for me was the pacing. Its very "one note". The score tries to add urgency but the direction never delivers. In fact, I'm not convinced this movie HAD a director. There is so much inconsistencies in the scenes it just seems like the director wasn't on set much.

Over all this movie seemed like a giant waste of money. I mean aren't there worthy scripts out there needing to be shot? Why pick this incomplete script? It seems like the script would have done better in more capable hands. This director made it worse.

The even though the director of the play was horrible he wasn't as bad as the white cop. Holy shite that guy is so clichéd its ridiculous. His acting was some of the worst I've ever seen ESPECIALLY in a low budget horror movie. And that's saying something.

This movie was a mistake. The producers should be ashamed of themselves.
