Review of Playback (2012) by Richard C — 16 Jul 2012

Eighteen years earlier, a man murdered his mother, father, and adopted sister before being gunned down by the police, and before he could kill the infant child.

Now a group of high school film students are researching the murders and trying to re-create the events, but someone - or something - doesn't want it to happen. The students' research uncovers a man named Louis Le Prince, who some say made the first film - and everyone in that film died right after making it. Now an evil spirit is in the video, and is searching for the lineage of Le Prince - the child that was spared eighteen years ago.

This movie was supposed to last one hour, forty minutes. I had it done in 45 minutes. The "storyline" is ridiculous, made no sense, and got even more confusing as the movie progressed. I guess if I had actually paid attention I would get it, but I didn't want to waste my time.

Oh, and Christian Slater is in this. Sad to see a once respected actor fall so far.
