Scarecrow-88 Edward Furlong, Cerina Vincent, Amber Benson, and Callard Harris go into an underground tunnel connecting Mexico and the United States to negotiate a drug deal coming in contact with "El Intermedio" ghosts "between worlds" who operate at the power of a vengeful farmer(Steve Railsback)whose son was a victim due to the abuse of drugs. Blood in a vial released by Railsback sends the ghouls hunting for fresh victims. We see that those killed remain as new Intermedio. Murky photography(ugly is more appropriate), inane dialogue(vulgar language isn't always colorful, this movie's a case in point), tacky special effects(particularly the gore murder sequences such as a chain gouging a victim's eye, another getting cut in half by a saw blade), and terrible acting(lots of screaming and bickering has the tendency to strain even the most tolerant of people's nerves)make INTERMEDIO a lost cause. It's not surprising this irredeemable slop was released through THE ASYLUM, and the names in the cast(Railsback, Furlong, Vincent)don't escape unscathed(you wade through the sewer long enough, it's impossible not to get crap on you). For most of the movie, Railsback is shown up close, letting out dabs of blood from a vial, only appearing a bit at the end to drug those who are able to escape the tunnel and inform us as to why he's trying to kill them. Vincent's impressive figure and beautiful breasts can only take a movie so far.
noeltate-1 This has to be without a doubt one of the worst movies with some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Pathetic does not begin to describe it. Painful on the eyes and ears would be an understatement. A bunch of teenagers with guns run around in a cave yelling, screaming, and cursing at one another while a mad warlock controls spirits that maim and kill them in some mysterious way-they get sucked through doors, sucked into the ground, become covered in blood. At least one of the guys was relatively nice looking and almost provided eye candy. That's about the brightest point of the movie other than when the credits roll and you realize that it thankfully has ended.
Jack Some kids decide to buy a whole pile of weed from some Mexicans. The deal goes down in a series of tunnels that run under the US / Mexico border. The tunnels are haunted by killer ghosts. The trouble is, these kids just aren't written or acted very well. Cerina Vincent is the movie's sole high point: She at least manages to be likable, though not terribly interesting. The other kids are all fairly annoying. There's one girl on crutches who can't keep up with the others when the ghosts start attacking, she whines a lot, wants to stay put until somebody comes to rescue them, wants to dig her way out; she's basically an overemotional moron. Edward Furlong's character is also quite annoying. He starts freaking out and basically losing it once the situation gets too stressful for him. At one point he gets stabbed in the leg and Cerina has to physically drag his fat butt around for the rest of the movie. It's a chore to watch, especially since he whines and moans and whimpers the whole damned time. There's a couple of other guys as well, they're not really worth mentioning. They run around a lot, eventually getting killed.The ghosts aren't very impressive at all, they just look like goofy CGI creations. The movie isn't scary, it's just tedious. It might have worked if the writer had given these people some interesting, personality-driven things to say, but instead it's all just annoying, melodramatic crap. There's basically no plot. Ghosts menace kids, they run, repeat repeat repeat. Some guy is apparently in control of the ghosts, his kid was killed in the tunnels long ago. How did this make him boss of the ghost? I have no idea. Like I say, the only good thing about this movie is watching Cerina run around in a tight T-shirt. That's always nice to watch.
stsinger I hate to dump on independent, low budget horror films, but, man, is this film bad. Edward Furlong, who has appeared in A-List films, must have needed a paycheck badly. He pretty much just mails it in here, just sort of screaming instead of trying to do any actual acting. The other actors give it a better attempt, but are just sort of lost. Technically, the film is a mess -- the effects are weak, and both lighting and sound are both really bad, so at times it's tough to see or hear what's going on.There's also no T&A to speak of, although the smoking hot Cerina Vincent tries to accommodate us by thoughtfully using half of her shirt to make a bandage about 1/2 hour into the movie. So technically she's wearing a very sexy outfit for the last hour of the film. But the lighting is sooooo bad that you can't really tell.Usually, I recommend all low budget independent horror films, but I'd take a pass on this one!
