Pray For Diamonds Steam Charts & Stats

An esoteric piece of art film. Not for everyone though. However I enjoyed watching this 20 minute short film.

The Re-animator of romantic thrillers. Black comedy with even blacker magic. You bout that life? that diamond life? then Ya$ Ya$ Ya$

A great film with great music. I'm amazed the director was able to add suspense in something only 20 minutes long. The budget for the film wasn't huge, and it shows in the Violent/gorey/bloody scenes, although they still manage to be effective.

Masterpiece ! And I'm not just saying that because I'm the director and I hope to make a lot of money on this short film in order to buy a house in Hawaii along with the rest of the Steam library spending the rest of my life doing nothing .

I loved this film. This film transcends language even though it is basically in english. As far as short films go, I can not think of many that I liked more. It is dark and light at the same time, although probably more dark than light. But, I really enjoy dark fiction so that is a good thing in my opinion...

I guess I've been on a bit of a bad-movie-binge-watch session lately. I was expecting something average, but yet again I was disappointed by this terrible-a** film. Pray for Diamonds is an indie film about a witch and a wizard who live in a trailer house by a country road and are trying to correctly perform a ritual that will give them... diamonds. And they try to sacrifice three random people to a face inside of a briefcase in order to do so. Oh, but Double Uppercut! It's artsy! It's pretentious! You like artsy and pretentious things, because you yourself are artsy and pretentious. I appreciate the flattery, but it will get you nowhere. See, Pray for Diamonds advertises itself as "laudable", and that struck me as an odd way to describe your film. Anything can be lauded. I could laud Transformers: Dark of the Moon right now if I really wanted to (or if I hadn't recently eating, so I wouldn't vomit while making the attempt). You could laud a f***ing deer you spotted out in the woods, for Chr***'s sake! It's shot by who I'd guess is a group of 20-something college students (like me), but the difference between them and me is that I'm better. Why? Because I said I am. But seriously, I've seen art films that don't make sense. A few good examples of some art films I really like are Eraserhead, The Neon Demon, and the recent Nocturnal Animals (if you haven't seen it yet, you absolutely must). I like these artsy films because they actually are ART. They're shot fantastically, well acted (well... all except Neon Demon kind of), and have something to say. What is Pray for Diamonds trying to say? That you should become a witch and make tons of money by sacrificing people? I don't symapthize with the characters. With the way the film is presented it seems like I'm supposed to be rooting for the witch and wizard, but they're trying to MURDER these three innocent bystanders. It also doesn't help that the film is completely silent (and it took two people to write this sh***y-a** script), so a lot of the information presented in the film doesn't make any sense. It just throws you right into the story, and quickly cuts between shots and scenes, expecting you to figure out what's going on. On top of all this... the sound quality is sh**. Absolute sh**. It sounds like pretty much everything was dubbed in- from footsteps to fingers being pressed on books. It sounds like nothing belongs in this world that Pray For Diamonds takes place in. Oh! And the acting sucks. Everyone is so stiff and wooden (as it expected of 20-something college kids- like me (but remember I said I'm better than them)) that it's so hard to take anything that happens in this film seriously. Pray for Diamonds is a 20-minute waste of time. A cheap waste of time, for sure, since I spent 50 cents on this terrible film. I think the only slightly redeemable quality in this film is the somewhat decent directing. Some shots and confusing and pandering to the director's mediocre-at-best skill (I can imagine the director saying, "Hey! Look at THAT! Isn't that shot so cool!?"), but some are pretty good. Other than that, I'd consider Pray For Diamonds more laughable than it is laudable. I'm giving Pray For Diamonds a 2/10.

Well... it has nudity. Tits and a good sized cock as well. I bought this for 0,69€ as well, so... take that as you will. This movie is a good example of either rushed or underfunded development. At first, there are filler shots, like a minute of just pointless nature shots and somekind of development thatis never really explained. Nothing is actually explained in the movie. There's no dialogue, there are some things that you can deduce from the props and it's overall a muddy mess. Things like the nudity are not forced and it makes sense. Same goes to the action scene, which is well filmed and ideally pretty fun to watch. Just don't think about the logic there, since it makes no sense. Also, this is not a horror movie. It's more like a mystery with paranormal and creepy tones. So, what do we have here then? A 20-min movie that is mostly just nonsensical stuff and random shots. But it has a fun action scene, a fun climax and tits. It's fine. Buy it during the sale, since it costs less than a pack of crisps then. Otherwise, stay away from it. Overall 5/10 Accurate gypsy life simulation. Not the worst short-film, but should really be free or just a proof of concept for a more improved movie.

A low budge/no budget movie with loads of gratuitous nudity, unnecessary levels of death and violence and a creepy book with a human eye. For a few minutes I was taken back to my Troma watching days in the 80's, movies filled with naked girls, really cheesy and obviously fake death scenes.... (and Ron Jeremy, ok Ron isn't in this movie nor is anybody overweight but I worship Ron Jeremy so I had to name drop) it was 20 minutes of visceral video imagery that left me enthralled. Maybe it was the LSD tablets I took, or mayhaps it was the fact my wife was in the hospital for 3 weeks and the fap o meter was on full, either way I can't even begin to describe the feelings I had while watching this movie. I laughed, I cried, I fapped, I laughed and cried and fapped at the same time. It was like trying to sit through one of those Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies videos, you know you should look away but you can't, you know you shouldn't cry, but Richard Simmons has that face that only a mother could love... and by George you know you shouldn't fap but those thighs... I can't get enough of those thighs... [b]The Story[/b] I think the story was about a brother and sister (could have been a boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife, just seems kinkier if they are brother and sister) who have a magical book with human skin and one eye.. They are attempting to carry out a sacrifice to the one eye'd book. I'm not really sure what they are trying to gain, but the movie is called Pray for Diamonds so I'll assume it's diamonds, money or heck maybe even a working shower. Along the way they get naked, have sex, and kill people.. [b]Pro Tip [/b] if you aren't a fan of male twig and berries, i'd fully suggest being prepared to cover your eyes, as you'll see the full monty for 20 - 30 seconds... [b] We have questions, I won't provide answers [/b] Will this naked couple ever get the sacrifice right? Will the female ever decide to wear a shirt? Will Ash ever discover what became of the stolen Necronomicon? I don't know, but heck, this movie has loads of nudity, violence and death.. [b] Should you buy it??? [/b] In the words of Mr. Torgue, #$@#% YEAH YOU SHOULD BUY IT... if this was Samuel L Jackson he would likewise say I want these #$@#%$@# snakes off this #$@#%@# plane.. So if you enjoy naked females and killing, yeah, totally buy this movie. If naked females aren't your thing... still buy this movie so those of us who do like naked girls can have more movies like this one steam...

The topless chick totally carried the whole film. Well worth the $0.49. Evil book looking for sacrifice? Check. Topless Chick? Check. Homicidal Knife wielding maniac? Check. This has everything a good short horror film needs. But if you dont like Nudity, human sacrifice, or graphic low budget violence, then this film probably isn't for you. But if you like/want all of the above, buy it.

[i]It appears from most of the reviews that the story is unclear and it's all about the nudity. In reality, if you pay attention to the film, you can tell what the story is. Also, the description of the video on the store page just about gives it all away. [/i] To be fair, this indie Italian film did a decent job conveying the story without the use of any dialog. The only sound the people make is yelling and screaming. Even that is minimal. The reason I say "decent" instead of "good" is due to a few things. Mostly, the acting is a bit weird. Since there isn't any dialog, the woman is trying to convey thoughts and emotion strictly through expression. She ends up looking like a stiff psycho most of the time. She does not completely convince me that she is well-versed enough to pull off black magic like she does. The guy also has some... odd... acting at times. I can't say bad because I wasn't completely clear on what the actor was trying to portray sometimes. Now, many of the reviews are mentioning gratutious nudity and fapping. The nudity in this isn't gratutious in the typical sense. She's always topless, but it doesn't come off as sexual. If you look at the first screenshot in the lineup, you'll see it plain as day. She's not well-endowed, so they aren't "out there". It's just a topless person. I think it's the writer's mixup with what a Wiccan is (which she is not) and how they act. I'll take it as she just doesn't like shirts as I don't know of any other film where black magic pratictioners are known to go topless the whole time. There is also full-frontal male nudity, but it doesn't last that long. If you have a problem with it, it won't hurt to avert your eyes, but you probably would've seen it all by the time you'd know to do that. The biggest problem I have with this film is the write-up. Honestly. The whole thing is a spoiler along with some incorrect information. I can't think of a way to elaborate without nitpicking it, so that's what I'm going to do. If you don't care, skip down. Otherwise, read on. I have broken apart the description into points. [list] [*][i]A couple of misfits living in harmony with nature[/i] - It's not possible to live in harmony with nature while inside of a tin can squalor. Even the outside is not in harmony. [*][i] that surrounds them in a trailer[/i] - Again, you're not in harmony if it is outside and you are inside a tin can on the side of the road. [*][i] located along a country road leading to a popular country club for wealthy bourgeois.[/i] - This point is made very clear in each act. It ties into the ending. [*][i]She, a dedicated wicca witchcraft,[/i] - I think there is some translation problems here as a person isn't a witchcraft. At any rate, she's not Wiccan. This is a misconception that goes back into the old days of Paganism (which Wicca basically is) and it being called Witchcraft with a negative connotation. In order to keep this from being a lecture, I suggest you to look up the [b]Wiccan Rede[/b] if you want clarity. [*][i]spends his days studying manuals of black magic,[/i] - Someone needs to proofread. It's [i][b]her[/b][/i], not [i]his[/i]. I would also like to point out that black magic technically goes against the harmony of nature. [*][i] while he, his man, a hunter silent and unsociable, gives her the game to be sacrificed.[/i] - Again, it should be "While he, [i][b]her[/b][/i] man, [...]". This is also not harmonious. They eat dandelion leaves, yet they also sacrifice animals as part of the dark arts. [*][i]Seeking wealth through spells and curses,[/i] - The intent/story/plot is pretty much right here. [*][i]the harmony of the couple will be cracked by a series of wrongs,[/i] - This is a bit melodramatic. They never really appeared to be in harmony. Honestly, I don't see how a hunter of sacrificial animals can live in harmony with a topless dark arts witch that uses a really nasty version of the Necronomicon. By the way, you can get a decent look at that thing in the screenshots. It's the bloody flesh eye. [*][i]until the situation degenerates.[/i] - I don't consider the ending a degeneration. [spoiler]I don't know why the group running over his cat was the last straw for the guy and made him plan their deaths. Also, if the couple knew sacrificing a rich person would bring the desired wealth, I don't see why they wouldn't have just done it to begin with. So, it must've been something they discovered later; therefore, this was an escalation, not a degeneration.[/spoiler] [/list] Since there isn't a [b]Neutral[/b] option, I'm going to give this a hesitant recommendation. This is a very esoteric film on a few levels. If you are interested in watching it, try to drop the whole description out of your mind and watch it as though you knew nothing in advance. If you are slightly interested or unsure about purchasing it, you can wait for a sale. I got it for $0.49. [i]Edit:[/i] If for some odd reason you're here for cheap nudity, just go to the Community Hub for this film. People have posted screenshots from it. --- [i]For more...[/i] [b][url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/abbydonprime/recommended/]My Reviews[/url][/b] || [i]My casual gaming...
