The film tells the story of a group of Americans who traveled to Colombia in a landslide accident. These people started fighting a battle when they were searching for a place to hide in a secluded hotel. They seem to be in a catastrophic situation at these moments as they accidentally release a trapped girl in the basement while a sinister being exists.
The Damned does all it can to make witches scary once again, but flashes of inept acting and tonal fumbles spoil what could have been a horrifying feast of riches.
From its first draw of blood onward, it bolts down a foreseeable slasher-movie trajectory, laying on thick the dramatic irony while constantly inventing new reasons to punish its characters for old iniquities.
It's all well acted and expertly crafted - quick edits that play mind and visual games with the viewer, music that heightens tension, some cool special effects - but most of the victims are people you want to slap even before their secrets are spilled.
The film looks good, and overall production quality is certainly serviceable, but at the end of the day, The Damned is just another of countless horror films.
