Review :

A decent idea done poorly

There are worse movies out there than The Secret Craft/The Surge. The film did at least have a decent if not entirely original premise going for it, and Alice Frank and Edward DeRuitter are not bad in their roles. I'll also say and agree that the teens are sexy. Unfortunately that is all I can say really in The Secret Craft's defence. The low budget technically really shows, with camera work that makes you feel that you're on the world's rockiest see-saw, flash editing that gets nauseating very quickly and low lighting that tries to be atmospheric but ends up being obvious. The music is all loud and monotonous with no subtlety or atmosphere, while the direction is hopelessly misguided, never taking full grasp of the story and doing nothing to serve the actors. The dialogue feels awkward and has so much cheese that it makes you wince, while the story is generic and predictable with the origins of the powers both very underdeveloped and confusingly handled. The characters, forgiving for a second that they are stereotypes, are annoying and cartoony with the villains particularly unbelievable. The acting on the most part is amateurish, Melissa Renee Martin faring worst, being entirely too feeble for an incarnation of evil sort of character, she acts cruel but that's all there is. Matthew Scollon is bland as his heroic character. So overall, has a decent idea but has little else to recommend otherwise. 3/10 Bethany Cox
