In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Storm Warning (2007)
A horror by Jamie Blanks.
A couple go out on a boat and get lost near an island. They break into a seemingly deserted house and then the crazy rednecks come home and get angry.
I have to spoil the plot here because it's such a monumental break from the norm. Our heroes escape with only one broken leg and all of the rednecks dead. It's a Hollywood impossibility! The characters and plot are decent (except for a few stupid moves that could have been solved with a hammer). The style and production value are about what I'd expect as well. There's a scene that reminded me of a Cannibal Corpse song called "Hammer Smashed Face". Despite not having obvious flaws, this film did not satisfy some undefined criteria: let's call it "movie magic". I'm rating it adequate.
