| Customer Reviews: I'll Be There with You... watching this horrible film. November 24, 2009 Julian Kennedy (St Pete Florida) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'll Be There with You: 3 out of 10: This movie is a mess. It threatens to become an interesting mess; but alas, it is in reality just a mess.
The first clue something is wrong, is this movies supposed genre. Apparently, it is a horror movie. Ill Be There With You is no more a horror movie than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was. It has horrific elements certainly, but it is more of a drama and a relationship drama at that. Whether director Akihiro Kitamura meant to make a horror film or the marketing department at Celebrity Video Distribution simply choose to label it as a horror film is unknown.
Now what director Kitamura meant by this film is somewhat of a mystery; it is all over the place. There is a relationship drama, bar pick-ups, date rape, non-date rape, strange computer graphics from someones Commodore Amiga, escaped criminals killing, Japanese nerd comic relief, and Daniel Baldwin.
Indeed a bloated Daniel Baldwin gives the best performance of the film. That alone should be condemning with faint praise. In fairness, the ladies in the cast (Adarsha Benjamin, Michelle Lawrence and Elisabeth Donaldson) are decent if somewhat unpolished, but the male lead Akihiro Kitamura is a black hole of charisma. Kituamuras tearful denouement is cinematic pain defined. (I would blame the director but they are the same guy.)
With its lack of focus and bizarre computer generated sequels Ill Be There With You reminds me of that mess Demonlover. But with a lower budget and less talent on both sides of the camera Ill Be There With Yous mess is even less enjoyable.
There are a couple of good movies in here somewhere. Unfortunately, this is not one of them.
