Plot synopsis:
The film starts with a dream sequence depicting Sarah and David Crone being trapped and ultimately dying in their burning home at 11:11.
Joseph Crone wakes in his hotel room on November 7, 2011 at 11:11AM. His manager, Grant, arrives and urges Joseph to write his next novel after telling him that his previous book sold over 5 million copies. Joseph begins writing about how after his wife and son died, he lost all faith in a higher power and God, and writes God is dead, or maybe he was never alive.
On November 8, 2011, Joseph attends his support group meeting where Sadie is telling her story. Outside, Sadie tells Joseph that he should speak up, calling him good with words. As Joseph departs, Sadie gives him a notebook. Joseph is then immediately in a car accident. At the hospital, he has an MRI Scan and the doctors reveal to him that he is perfectly healthy and uninjured while the other driver was killed in the crash. Joseph tells Sadie that he feels that he has no purpose and prays for God to kill him every day. He then examines his watch and sees that it stopped exactly at 11:11. That night, Joseph gets a call from his estranged brother, Samuel, who is living in Spain with their father, Richard. Samuel tells Joseph that their father is dying.
On November 9, 2011, Joseph goes to Barcelona, Spain, to visit his father. There, Joseph meets with Samuel, who is wheelchair bound. Samuel urges Joseph to put aside his hatred for the Church and asks Joseph to stay the night. Later Samuel tells Joseph that his congregation dwindled away, and asks him to try to get some of his fans to follow his church.
In Samuel's study, the local housekeeper Ana demands that Samuel show Joseph the video de los demonios. Ana shows Joseph a security video taken on November 3 that depicts the faint outline of what appears to be a demon at 11:11PM. Joseph tells Samuel that he's been seeing the number 11-11 frequently in the past few days. Joseph then goes to talk to Ana and finds a diary, only titled El Libro de Ana. When confronted about it, Ana tells Joseph that it's the gospel according to her. That night, Joseph reads that people who frequently see the number 11-11 have been "Activated". Joseph then saves Samuel, who is being strangled by demon-like creatures.
On November 10, 2011, at a meeting of Samuel's congregation, a man named Javier brandishes a gun at Samuel, dropping a camera in the process. Joseph disarms Javier, who runs off. Joseph and Samuel then visit the cemetery where their mother, Lauren, is buried. Joseph points out that Samuel's birthday and Lauren's death both took place on November 11. Joseph tells Samuel that the attack the night before, Joseph's accident, David's death, and the apparitions all occurred at 11:11 on the clock. Samuel urges Joseph to not look for meaning where there is none. Joseph then goes to find a shop to develop the photos on Javier's camera, and they tell Joseph that the photos will be developed the next day. Joseph goes to an Occult Book Shop where the keeper reads a passage from a book, detailing that on November 11, 2011, a sacrifice will be made that will destroy faith and the Serpent will rise. Joseph becomes convinced that Samuel is a prophet to save the church and that on November 11, 2011, at 11:11, Samuel will be sacrificed by these demons for the devil to rise.
On November 11, 2011, Joseph finds that Sadie has arrived in Barcelona. Joseph and Sadie are cornered in a maze by Javier, who brandishes the gun at Joseph before fleeing. When Joseph and Sadie return to the house, they find that Richard has died. Joseph breaks into Javier's home, and finds Samuel's photos in a diary with the word SACRIFICIO scrawled on its pages, along with 11-11-11. Javier finds Joseph and shoots him.
Joseph comes to that night, calls Sadie, and tells her to get the photos that were developed as he runs back to the house. He finds Samuel, who urges Joseph to save the notebooks that chronicle the church's history. Joseph and Samuel, with the notebooks, are cornered by the demonic beings in the house, and they take Samuel at 11:02PM. Joseph attempts to find and rescue Samuel as Sadie gets the photos. Joseph finds Samuel, suspended in the air, surrounded by the beings. A sinkhole opens, causing Joseph to fall away from rescue. Joseph manages to crawl out of the sinkhole as one of the creatures readies a blade to stab Samuel. Joseph steps in the path of the blade exactly at 11:11, and the beings disappear.
Sadie, looking through the photos, burns them all. Joseph and Samuel lie out in the rain as Joseph begins to die. Samuel tells Joseph that 11-11 was not a window opening, but one closing, and that the end of the world could only be stopped then. Joseph finds the notebooks and reads one that Samuel wrote, depicting his own death. Samuel stands, collects the notebooks, and leaves Joseph to die after revealing that the beings were, in fact, angels and that he was the devil that needed to be stopped. A new religion will start, and Joseph's, Samuel's, Sadie's, Grant's, and Ana's books will become the new gospels.
Some time later, a large church is filled with Samuel's followers, each bearing a book titled The Book of Joseph.

Review: From then on - the movie deteriorated: unlikable characters, plot full of holes, irrational decisions of the characters and the ending seems like someone got stuck with the screenplay and decided to wrap it up quickly and go home for dinner (don't get me started on the visual effects, either, which, although not being the main issue here, leave much to be desired).
I like endings that makes you think, but in this case, my only thought was "gotta warn others from wasting one hour and a half of their life on this".I guess my main dissatisfaction with this movie is that the storyline did not make much sense, even for the horror genre.so...
Terrible, do not waste your time..
I don't usually mind movies being a little rough around the edges but this one was just terrible.
I felt like the producers just said "meh, that will do." and released it without any thought about detail or quality.
The visual effects were not just poor but offensive, the plot had huge holes in it (more holes than plot) and the choices made during the story were just insane by any standards.
The most annoying part about the whole thing is the ending - or lack of one.
The story wasn't wrapped up, we have no idea what happened to 90% of the characters in the movie, and it just plain made no sense.
In short I would not recommend this train wreck of a move to anyone..
It is really difficult to make such a bad movie as this one, picking scenes and pieces from other better movies and putting them together in such a talentless way must have been a very hard work.
I started to watch the movie with some expectation and interest thinking that at some point I was going to be grabbed by the mystery or the action, but the truth is that after the first ten minutes I already realized that I was watching one of the worst movies I have seen.
The actors are bad amateurs that do not even manage to make one credible dialogue.
The film is inspired in so many old topics and scenes from previously released films that it is not even surprising in any way...the whole thing stinks.
In that sense it is really a horror movie..
It's a Movie by Asylum .....
And thats all you should need to know about the movie.
Asylum is known for making the rip-off movies in hopes that idiots like us will mistake it for the bigger blockbuster version and rent it instead.
I LOVE horror movies big and small but Asylum movies make me vomit in my mouth every time I have the misfortune of watching one.
There's ANOTHER movie out there called 11/11/11, BTW,written and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman from the Saw franchise.
Again, I'm not one of those reviewers who doesn't appreciate campy horror movies and then complains that it was awful - I truly love horror movies, particularly the bad ones, (think "Bugs" starring Antonio Sabatao Junior bad) but thanks to NetFlix and Asylum in particular I have learned the hard lesson that there are just some movies that are just really THAT awful.
Anything I've seen by Asylum falls into that lot.
You want to see more of their ilk how about "666: The Child" and it's horrible sequel (Damien, anyone?) or EXORCISM: THE POSSESSION OF GAIL BOWERS (Emily Rose?
The last Exorcist?) HG Wells War of the Worlds (NOT the War of the Worlds blockbuster you're thinking of!) Halloween Night (Not only does it share the Halloween title it shares the same plot line too)Snakes on a Train...God, the list goes on and on it gets worse and worse.
I'm done ranting now, just thought I'd point it out in hopes I could prevent someone else from renting their god awful movies.
We need something better than this adaptation of Satan-revival story....
And I think I can do that.There was some moments I liked, but most of the movie was just copy of many cliché.
We've seen that types of Satan sect/legend stories many times, so, I thought, maybe this could be something else.
Characters were interesting, and actors played them well, but their screenplay decisions couldn't make me believe that person could act this way.
Not mention disbelieving CG effects and action scenes.
Ending could be interesting even more, but it has something in itself.Sorry, but we need something better than this adaptation of Satan-revival story..
The only real horror is how terrible this movie is.
The Asylum's movies are mostly terrible(there are a few tolerable ones though), so there was little surprise that 11/11/11 would be too.
There is something compulsively watchable in how bad their movies are, hence the watching of them despite knowing how they'll turn out.
11/11/11 is a cheap-looking movie for starters.
The editing at best is choppy, there is nothing dynamic about the lighting and the special effects are laughably fake, almost as if it took 5 minutes and less than $5 to construct.
The sound effects and music are generic and sluggish, forgettable also in every way.
The dialogue has enough awkwardness and cheesiness to make your head hurt, and the story is terminally dull being too obvious and predictable to be scary, thrilling or suspenseful.
The characters are not likable or interesting in the slightest, the direction is amateurish and has no distinctive style and the actors can't act their way out of a paper bag, that's how painful it was to watch them.
In conclusion, a terrible movie, to be avoided and only to be seen just to see if The Asylum make another atrocity or a watchable movie.
Jack and Mellisa Vales soon suspect that the 'spooky' coincidences that occur at their new house could have to do with their son, who also might happen to be Satan.
Or the person that founded the Asylum movie company, they're pretty indistinguishable from each other.It's an Asylum film, so telling you that it's cheap, badly acted, or obscenely tedious would be an exercise in redundancy.
Having instant Netflix,however, I don't waste my money, just my time (which is also a travesty in its own way)My Grade: F+.
Icky Gooey Goings on with a Young Boy turning a DEVILISH 11 years old !.
This film is topical, fastly paced and very intense.The director/co-writer was first noticed by Asylum for his acting in '3Musketeers'.Unknown actors usually add to the realism of a film,Yes,It's true here too.There are numbers of creep-out moments that set us up for a fall- ALWAYS look for your cat ,As soon as it comes up missing.Beware of nannies (Aww,Check the news tonite and every night from now on).Birthdays can be a big deal to a whole town.Never,Ever move into a neighborhood,Sight unseen.
This movie started off OK making you question everyone, but takes a quick turn into predictable cheesy movie antics and bad graphics.
When the retarded young man was hit in the head with a bat the people were nowhere near him.
The father was given so many hints including one in the book that stated every disaster that adds up to 11 stated that his son would turn into the devil when he turned 11 on November 11, 2011.
The father was a moron, the antics were cliché like when the wife took a bath & it turned into blood or the son talking to people that weren't there, and the ending sucked in a way that makes me hate this director and shames horror movies, cult movies, and satanic based movies like the exorcism everywhere..
Complete Waste of Time.
Wow, that was the most pointless movie I've ever seen.
The writing is jumpy, which makes the story skip around with little cohesion.
Lady, you should know what color your cat is, you batty old dame.
It's either seriously bad editing on the script writer's part or deliberate hinting at the woman's insanity.Oh, then we get to the special effects.
It was too red, too staining, not dark enough when dried, and looked like raspberry syrup or diluted ketchup at times.
Also, the dead cat under the kid's bed was covered in mealworms, not maggots as it should have been.
If a dead cat was under the kid's bed in the first place, why is it that no one noticed the putrid stench of death?
Lastly, at 3 to 4 weeks' gestation, there is no way that the fetus would have a large, recognizable hand to press against its dead mother's womb.
Again, do your research, people!
Most of the cast couldn't act their way through a 1st grade play of Little Red Riding Hood to save their lives.
The fight choreographer needs to go back to their day job, because the punches thrown and how they "landed" look extremely fake.Lastly, I have major beef with whoever cut this film.
Did no one review the final cut for mistakes, continuity, or make sure that the film made sense before printing it?
A few times, the camera men can be seen in reflections in window panes.
The mom blinks three times while lying dead in the bathtub.
The cloth with chloroform (I am assuming) over Nat's mouth moves from over his nose to just his mouth and back again a few times during the scene where Annie is trying to kill him.Plot holes, no resolution, no hint as to what really happened at the end, the movie just ends without any of the conflict being resolved or explained, and the last 30 seconds are just strange and unnecessary.Seriously, do not waste your time.
This movie will just frustrate you unless you want to pretend to be Joel from Mystery Science Theater 3000 and rip this trash to shreds while you watch with your robot pals..
This has got to be the worst movie I've ever seen.
The blood looked so fake.
When the evil babysitter beats up the other baby sitter, it just looks so fake.
I hate how the boy has no lines in this whole movie.
This movie doesn't deserve to even be out.
Whoever made this movie should be fired.
This movie didn't scare me one little bit.
Worst "scary movie" ever award right here.
The ending when he kills his son, yes, again looks so fake.
The ending makes no sense.
So was his son the devil?
or was the baby inside his wife the devil they were all talking about?
Did he kill his wife and son and didn't know it or didn't mean to?
Just such a dumb movie to me.
Jack Vales(Jon Biddell), a college professor, along with his wife Melissa(Erin Coker) and son Nat(Hayden Byerly), move to a new neighborhood, where the neighbors seems a bit odd and peculiar.
Melissa learns she is with child and needs constant bed rest; thus a nanny for Nat must be hired.
The new nanny is Denise(Aurelia Scheppers), who's attitude is a bit childlike and...well, mean.
The Vales don't realize that their son will turn into the devil on his upcoming 11th birthday on 11/11/11.
As for the strange neighbors, they are all devil worshipers, who can't wait for the boy to take his reign.
Horrible acting and not so good special effects.
The only thing I really liked was...well, the nanny.
It isn't Scary...
I love a good Satanic apocalypse!
In a nutshell, here's the scoop: A family moves to Nowheresville, USA including a 10-year-old boy who's scheduled to turn 11 on November 11, 2011.
We know things will go awry when the kid makes the astounding revelation that the numbers in the address of their house total 11 - ooh, scary.
So, gradually, the kid (albeit quiet from the get-go) starts acting weirder and weirder as the fateful date approaches, including knowing his mom's pregnant before she does.There are a bunch of weirdos around town including a dingbat old lady who's continually looking for her cat (which has no relevance to the movie other than its powdery corpse later found under the boy's bed), and the realtor they purchased the house through who ends up being apart of a Satanic cult.
How they knew the child demon seed was moving to town, I don't know, nor will you.
I know what you're thinking - this might still be okay, right?
Kinda like a modern-day The Omen.
Sorry, no dice.So, dingbat keeps trying to lure the kid to her place where she can kill him because she knows he's destined to be the son of Satan.
So, the obvious question is, why does he need to come to your place to be killed?
Anyway, dingbat strikes out as do several others who try to spill the beans on the local Satanists and find an early demise for their troubles.But don't worry, the Satanic posse has an inside mole...a nanny who looks like a witch's apprentice (just the type I like for my kids).
I love the part when the dad discovers the nanny's manipulating the boy including teaching him about the apocalypse and scratching his body with this chicken claw thing...and what does he do?
Nah.But he'll be sorry, cuz when he comes home, the boy's gone off the deep end and is suddenly looking to open a can of whoop-ass Satan-style.
A bunch of people die in a sort of ho-hum fashion, including the kid and I practically fall asleep from the lack of scare, thrill or creep.I'd like to see this movie remade with the boy just as a normal kid who the Satanic cult insists is the son of Satan.
A bad film about numerology and Satan worship..
Jack, Melissa, and Nathan move to a new town and a new house in University housing.At least three of the neighbors knew that Nathan's birthday was coming right up.
The rotten meat in Jack's office desk was a third; the claw marks on the family room wall should probably count as well.
The fellow who came by to fix the claw marks takes one look, runs away, gets hit by a car.
Good start.Melissa has an unexpected bleeding event which leads her to find out she's pregnant.
Her new doctor prescribes complete bed rest coupled with getting a nanny for Nathan and a nurse for Melissa.
All sorts of clues come from neighbors and Jack's co-workers at the University.The nurse is rather sinister, but the nanny Rhonda seems light and pleasant.
Denise beats the living crap out of her, muscles in on the job, including stealing Rhonda's mobile phone.
She majors in comparative religions and works part time at a butcher shop.
Great stuff.This goes on and on: 'significant event' after significant event, right up to the end.
Unfortunately, the film brings none of this significance to fruition.------Scores------One star of five; two black holes for acting and screen writing.Cinematography: 5/10 For daylight portions, the fundamentals were good.
The filming during the first ritual sacrifice was hideously bad.
The night sequences were spotty.Sound: 7/10 Probably the best part of the film.Acting: 0/10 There were so many bad performances.
Jon Briddell, as the clueless father, was the worst of them all.Screenplay: 0/10 Lots of bad execution.
Very little of the action makes direct sense.
Jack could have saved his wife by lifting the cord.
Jack murdering people to save the son who killed his wife?
This is one of those so bad it's good movies.
First off this family moves to this college town.
It seems like they have a house on campus but I am not sure.
But mention was made of the neighbor living on the campus for years.
Where he replaced a Professor who ran off, disappeared or was killed.The family has a son who I thought was possessed from the start.
The mother I think is a little odd too.
The husband seems to be the only person in the family that acts normal.
I am not sure if the mother kind of knew about her son or just was not attentive.
Because the boy utters to his mother something about her being pregnant and she says she is not pregnant.
Why didn't the mother think it was odd that her son seemed to be some type of fetus whisperer.The doctor tells the wife and husband that she has to stay still and in bed because she might lose the baby.
Well the next thing you know he tells them they get a nurse and a nanny for the boy.
Their health plan takes care of that.
I can see a nurse but a nanny too.
Well that was just a way to get some of the cult members in the house to watch the boy and the mother.There is a crazy neighbor who is trying to kill the boy before his 11th birthday which falls on 11/11/11.
Yes because of that he is going to be responsible for the Apocalypse and that is what they want to happen.
My question what about all the other soon to be 11 year old with the same birthday?
Now I am not going to tell the end.
But let's say numerous people are killed including a cop being blown up and no one seems to notice.
I have to mention also that the whole town does not belong to this cult.
So why no mention of all of these dead bodies that keep on turning up?
People are getting killed in broad daylight.
And there is the required levitation scene that all of these types of movies must have.I say if you love movies that are so bad they are good, take a look.
But if you don't, skip it because you will never get that time back.
For you folks I told some of the plot and plot pot holes so you can decide if you want to waste your time or not.
I understand there is a sequel, hopefully it doesn't disappoint and it is as awful as this movie is.
