13/13/13 is a typical indie horror film with a story supposedly based on Mayan prophecy and the like, although in fact it feels more like your bog-standard zombie flick. It's one of the very cheapest films that The Asylum have ever put their brand to, and that's saying something. There's little menace here, and some cheap gore, amid plenty of bad language and worse performances. The whole thing is infused with predictability and stupidity in equal measure. The worst thing about it? The cheap digital look which saps it of life and vitality, rendering it blue, grim, and depressing.

The premise of the plot was what drew me in, it edges on conspiracy theories and I was thinking (half way in) maybe they'll redeem themselves and give us a good reason for the death and destruction people were plowing their way through..The whole movie was killing, stabbing, slicing, screaming, dying, crying and then kill'en some more.. There are no special effects and I give credit to the actors, it had to have been a grueling movie to make but while I give one star for the actors in the movie showing up and acting their hearts out; the second star is for the director getting me to sit through the whole thing by giving us a strong hero to follow.. but that's the extent of my benevolence towards 13/13/13..

I streamed this movie on Netflix and thought this would be watchable. But, it wasn't. The acting, writing, editing, directing, dialogue and plot was terrible. How did this movie EVER get made? Anyone who rates this movie higher is on crack. It was like a mix of "American Horror Story", zombie movies, "The Crazies" and the "Scary Movie" film series. The writer/director shouldn't be making movies anymore! The plot and the DVD cover looked like it was written by a 5-year old. The laughing, swearing and music was terrible, too. T I know that The Asylum is putting out garbage like this. A girl named Kendra in this movie, is trying be be a rip-off of "Carrie". It was like a very bad copy of "World War Z"! It felt like I was watching a VHS! Also, this film starts in washed out, low contrast mode. And the color contrast was low as well. I give this a 2 out of 10.

Written and directed by James Cullen Bressack who brought us "Hate Crime," "To Jennifer," and "My Pure Joy." Knowing and enjoying James' style, I anticipated a lot of insane moments and he didn't let me down."For millennia, calendars have added an extra day every four years. In doing so, they have violated the ancient Mayan calendar. Now, we are in the 13th month of the 13th year of the new millennium, and the few who survive will battle a world of demons." The demons basically have infected almost everyone and turned them into crazies. The infected are insane killing machines, but they're alive and not zombies.The sky was the limit for James to go ballistic and he sure did. Horror movies like this are typically slash em up, but James added some fun characters to make the movie even more enjoyable and you may even snicker during some disturbing scenes.It begins with us meeting the guys on a camping trip. When Jack (Trae Ireland) returns from the trip everything appears normal…..sort of. His twelve year old daughter Kendra (Tiffany Martinez) smashes a spider in her hands and eats it. His wife Marcy (Calico Cooper) is compulsively scratching all the skin off her arm. Jack takes her the hospital and experiences the doctors acting all hard ass dropping F bombs left and right on him. Meanwhile back home, his daughter is in a heated and distressing argument with Jack's friend Trevor (Bill Voorhees). Spoiler, Kendra wins.It's pretty whacky and disturbing in many ways and I have to admit funny at points. Simple things, for example, Quentin (Jody Barton) and Joe (J. Scott) are sitting on the couch drinking beer and you can hear crunching of Trevor's head being smashed on the concrete outside by Kendra, all while Quentin and Joe zone out watching TV. In one scene Quentin stabs Joe and they laugh as if they smoked a pound of marijuana, and then laugh even harder when they smear his blood on the wall. Quentin and Joe definitely are the Beavis and Butthead of psycho killers.Jack and Candace (Erin Coker) are the only sane people and meet in the hospital while the world around them is full of crazies. They team up to escape the hospital and get to Jack's house to save his daughter. Yeah, the daughter who eats spiders and smashed a guy's head on the concrete.The film maintains the insanity throughout as Jack and Candace struggle to make it to 13/14/13. What would be more dangerous than "13/13/13"? James Cullen Bressack and Jared Cohn teaming up to write "14/14/14" On the DVD be sure to check out the bonus features which includes a "Making Of" and "Gag Reel."
