Tabernacle 101 (2019) User Reviews

Rubbish

[iansrd · 3/10 · 31 August 2019]

Obviously spent a whopping £5 on special effects and probably less on the actors... general disaster of a movie...

How has this gotten so many stars?!

[ferreirinhav · 3/10 · 11 March 2020]

Wow. Yikes. That first half of the movie we could make it through was so difficult to watch. The cinematography (lack thereof) is almost impressive! I had to shut it off once a character is quoted saying: "we've got to transform you into an avatar." I LOVE horror movies and appreciate good lower quality ones as well. This one was brutal.

The only good acting I seen is from the guinea pig. :)

[rbarden-53599 · 3/10 · 16 September 2019]

This film is not worth 7 stars.. are you kidding me ? Seriously I don't mind people making films but don't try to boost your rating with reviews.

The special effects are cheap, the acting is not great, the filming is not great.. nothing is even mediocre.

I usually watch films that are 4 stars or over but this one isn't even close...

And the computer counting down made me laugh..

The subject has been resurrected :))

Shatliners

[lounatik12 · 1/10 · 15 December 2019]

I simply don't understand all the high ratings for this dreck. I guess the filmmakers have lots of family members. It's not the worst thing I've seen, but it's still hot garbage.

Terrible... what a waste of time

[mjwmgeffen · 1/10 · 23 November 2019]

The acting is horrible, special effects are horrible, everything is horrible, it's just painful to watch. A complete waste of time. I don't know how this got an 7.5

Awful

[Mehki_Girl · 1/10 · 9 December 2019]

Didn't these people watch Flatliners or read a medical book? The brain dies after 6 minutes. They didn't gradually cool the bodies to suspend and preserve brain function (people have been revived after "dying" in cold water or snow - there's a saying, you're not dead until you're warm).

So from the beginning, the movie is just silly, with bad acting and cheap effects.

Total disappointment

[sedakalan · 1/10 · 28 November 2019]

It was just a time loss.Effects were very funny.These bio energy or spiritual stuff is not as simple as it is in the film.I couldn't get how it is rated so high...

The score is a trap ... RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

[ZeroCoolRO · 1/10 · 9 December 2019]

Even from the beginning we can see that acting is poor here, and we have to do with amateurs.

Now, second thing... why would you go to sleep during night in a tent in middle of nowhere, or forest... whats so adventurous in this?

When the experiment started, they made 30 million viewers in less than a hour, kind of impossible, dont you think?

Now he have angelic powers .. Jesus Christ this movie is so lame. He can "shot" white beams of light thru his hand and heal with them.

He have the telekinesis powers, he can teleport, he now can use telepathy, he can call multiple people on same time on phone and already have a pre-registred message ..

Now what he kind of time travel? He was a nobody, died and when came back to life he leveled up and gathered all those new powers :))

The movie is mega dumb and extra pathetic ... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME !!!

Witches can be sexy, too

[MOVIE-REVIEW-POOPSHOOTs · 7/10 · 17 February 2020]

This movie is weird. But don't let that turn you away, if your the type to turn away at weird. If you prefer normal, that is perfectly fine, just remember that you could never have one without the other. There is no weird without normal, no good without evil, no dark without light. No life without death. And Tabernacle 101 explores these ideas without getting preachy or disrespectful. And the movie progressive with such ease, that there is no time to think about it as it unfolds before us.

The curious plot and some of the great, character-driven dialogue may be a bit 'nerdy' or 'weird' at times, but I guarantee you, your mind, like mine, will not have time to begin it's petty, judgmental filtering (unless you already gave up on the film because you have no idea what is going on). Instead, your brain will watch and absorb Tabernacle's raw emotion, whether you are feeling scared less by a satanic albino chick shoving an upside-down cross in your face and staring into your soul with eyes that could literally be the most terrifying I have ever seen.

As our protagonist, Frank, begin his joyride into another realm, he develops a very fun, cute, comical but nevertheless, dire and absolutely imperative friendship with Meredith, who'm he had despised such a short time ago for her beliefs and faith in a higher power. She is mysterious yet very strong-willed and persistent. She is also the hottest witch you will see in any movie this year as well, and

It really sort of reminded me of Frodo and Sam in a weird way. Yes, that is how deep yet very simple the themes of this movie are explored, where friendships good or bad can take us.

I could go on about this movie forever, so I will just tell you to go watch it and enjoy the unexpected, the fright, and the fun yourself.

I didn't think a movie could lower my IQ by half.

[scarekrw · 1/10 · 23 November 2019]

Probably the worst if not the worst, 31mins of any movie I've have had to endure. To fix this problem I chose to turn the movie off. But my IQ was lowered that much it took me 10mins to find the keyboard mouse right in front of me. There is no way it's over 1 star. The glowy air bubble was enough... no more. .

Flatliners almost

[oliviaporterr · 8/10 · 2 October 2019]

Reminded me of Flatliners but they had their own twist to it. Production team needs to step it up but it's still a movie you can watch and enjoy

Deep!

[edwinsosaa · 7/10 · 29 January 2020]

Great storyline, the tension held through right the very end. I think many people on here are disappointed by the special effects but do remember this is an indie-film. Not to sure what some are expecting.

How on earth did this get 7.4 stars?

[choezom26 · 1/10 · 25 September 2019]

I have to wonder if the ratings that got it this many stars are all from friends of the production team? The plot is thin, the editing slow and not particularly well executed, the acting terrible (there are times I'm left to wonder what on earth they're trying to do with their faces) and none of the characters are relatable or in any way likeable - least of all the protagonist unfortunately. He's neither the hero nor the not-very-nice-yet-effective antihero who cares about others deep down. He just comes across as a genuinely selfish, small man trying to make himself feel better. The foley and voiceover work is poorly done and completely distracting, breaking you out of the film's world constantly (for example hearing the click of a door closing on a shot of a door that hasn't closed, or dialogue that doesn't match the actors lips and a tone that doesn't fit the expression on her face). The story initially seemed like it could be interesting but there very quickly became too many inconsistencies and holes for the viewer to buy into the idea, with no explanation for why we should accept things that make no sense - from a scientific, theological, or social perspective. I'm over an hour in and so far no new ideas have been presented over similar films/tv. The film moves too slowly to keep me interested in glazing over these inconsistencies to see if it will eventually provide anything new unfortunately. Some reviewers here are giving it leeway for being an indie production, but indie doesn't mean it has to be bad. Take a film like Primer - it's indie & low budget but it knows it's limitations and works within them cleverly, while presenting fully thought out, original ideas. This, unfortunately, does none of these things.

This film does not deserve it's rating

[goktuginceoglu · 2/10 · 13 December 2019]

Don't expect too much by looking it's ratings. Cheap production and bad acting. Plot was ok though.

The Amazing Adventures of Jesusman!

[bhsfacebook · 2/10 · 27 December 2019]

An obnoxious atheist dies and returns from the dead as Jesusman. He gains all sorts of supernatural abilities and does light saber combat with demons. Pew! Pew! Pew!

So pretensious that it sports a crucifixion. The acting and writing were surely dredged up from hell. The cheap CG special FX make the whole thing much funnier than this load of awful ever intended to be. It's the icing on the cow pie!

Pew! Pew! Jesusman to the rescue!

Terrible

[lilacza · 1/10 · 11 September 2019]

It looks like someone has watched flatliners and thought that could do better .. Well they did not. Terrible acting, story line and those special effect ughhhh. Don't waist your time

Resist the temptation!

[gestapolama · 1/10 · 29 September 2019]

Acting: 0 Production: 0 Plot: 1 Fear Factor: 0 I cannot find one redeeming aspect to this embarrassing let down. The actors, director, et al should be punished. I feel like I've been conned. How high were the people who gave this anything more than a 2 rating?

I'm sorry but no

[zaethermind · 1/10 · 6 September 2019]

I don't usually write reviews but this movie's rating got my attention. I couldn't watch it, I'm here to tell you it's overrated.

Garbage

[voidhabit · 1/10 · 3 September 2019]

I seen low budget videos on Youtube better then this movie, how this movie got 7.3 on IMDB? I created an account just to accurately score this is ridiculous movie.

A Three-Headed Genre Monster

[TheAll-SeeingI · 10/10 · 30 September 2019]

"Tabernacle" terrifically merges only the best time-tested elements from the horror, science fiction, and supernatural thriller genres to deliver on the promise of a great concept.

Somehow marrying "Flatliners" with "From Dusk Till Dawn" while throwing in a sharp dash of "Hellraiser," this film is a stony, otherworldly buffet of the good stuff. Frank Bennetti (David Hov) is a loudly bellyaching atheist and vlogger. Ironically -- and just like the worst of any denominational religious zealots -- he's so preachy and certain of his beliefs that he's dedicated his life to jamming them down the throats of those who think differently. His online videos attempt to debunk religious claims, which he takes to a whole new next level as fellow non-believer and medical scientist girlfriend Sarah (Elly Hiraani Clapin) puts him way, way under -- all while his trusty camera vlogs away.

This film's shrewd and highly effective incorporation of horror, sci-fi, and supernatural elements is bound to draw in the rabid fans of three distinct fanbases, and possibly en masse. Let's hope so, because that just might give "Tabernacle 101" the chance it needs to push past those core fringes and into the less genre-focused mainstream. This is a visually engaging, well-acted, and ultimately engrossing hybrid of a film.

Waste of my time

[floydteter · 1/10 · 22 September 2019]

I don't write many reviews. I only do so, to try and correct scores. This movie is so bad, I didn't finish it. Once I start to watch a movie, I almost always finish. Even if it's just out of curiosity, or hardheadedness. First 30 minutes had some promise, even if the acting wasn't great. After that, it turned into complete garbage. Don't waste your time.

It's a comedy

[johnacevedo79 · 1/10 · 8 September 2019]

I was just laughing of all the stupidities of the movie. Terrible.

Couldnt finish it

[jezeke · 1/10 · 18 September 2019]

It lost my attention after 30 minutes. The acting annoyed me. They should watch The Room once so the actors could improve on their acting skills a bit.

waste of time

[thotice · 1/10 · 21 January 2020]

I have to say that it was one of the worst movies I've ever watched. There was absolutely nothing good about it: the plot, special effects, the acting... All of them were terrible. I have no idea why some people think it was original or worth watching cause it's definitely not. I guess it's their first time watching a movie lmao

Garbage

[fernandobragga · 1/10 · 7 September 2019]

I don't understand how this movie has an 8+ score on IMDB by the time I'm writing this. Terrible story, horrendous acting and laser beams coming out from people's hand. Cheap and crap production... just a waste of time
