Hitting theatres today is Darren Lynn Bousman’s 11-11-11, a religious horror film centered around today’s date and divination by numbers. Lucky for Bousman, he got the film out today – which I think is pretty neat, even if it’s only in limited release – but, according to our own Evan Dickson, “In a movie with problems this big, normally huge things like dialogue and performance seem like nitpicking. It all comes down to story. If every scene has the same static objective and if 90% of your scenes end with your characters in the same emotional and narrative place with which they began – you don’t have much of a movie.”

Yikes.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sort of intrigued by the premise (I’m always up for religious horror, if only to see if the film at hand is one of the few that ACTUALLY WORK), but maybe I shouldn’t be so bummed it didn’t make its way down to Orlando.

You can check out Evan’s review here and if you’re in one of the select cities it’s playing in, don’t forget to tell all of B-D what you thought.
