Review – Ogre

This reeks of cheap knock-off of The Village, though to be honest I can’t say that for certain because 20 minutes or so into Shamalayan’s movie I was reminded that I’d sworn not to watch any more of his movies and shut it off. At least here we aren’t really expected to take the production seriously. The role of bad guy is shared between John “one of the Duke boys” Schneider (whose acting hasn’t improved a jot since the TV series that made him semi-famous) and a computer-animated ogre. Thank goodness they gave the thing a loincloth! Aside from Schneider, the cast includes a couple of refugees from Freddy vs. Jason and not much of anyone else. The script and production values are likewise weak. I guess the Sci Fi Channel has shown worse, but this is still nothing to write home about. Mildly amusing
