one AWFUL movie...

Freakin AWFUL acting, everyone of them acted as if they were in a middle school play, almost non-existence plot (unless u've never seen a bad teen horror film i.e. 1)a bunch of people in a confined space 2) someone died 3)the odd lookin guy in the group gets accused 4)turned out to be some innocent looking character 5) the end) bad camera work (the whole film looked like a high school movie project, with pocket change as their movie budget)...bad music/ sound effect, and to top all that, u have a few people creating fake reviews for this movie claiming how the plots' ever so gripping, that there are "surprise after surprise" and how superb the actings are, and let me guess, they were friends of the movie producer?

i would recommend all of u to at least watch the first 15min of this movie, and tell me how accurate those 10/10 stars reviews are.

p.s. feel free to fill in anything that i've missed out about this junk.

I liked the movie. I'm tired of all the remakes and thought it looked like it might be worth a watch. It isn't an ocsar winning film, but it was fun plain and simple. Sure the acting isn't top notch and the actors didn't all look like high schoolers, but come on, it's low budget horror. All the kids in 90210 didn't look high school either but who cares. It was fast paced, there was some good gore and a cool setting. Not every movie that comes out is a million dollar hollywood blockbuster and I think for a low budget straight to dvd horror film this one was worth the watch.

Personally, I thought this movie blew big time! I was SOOO disappointed with this. I had read several reviews, all stating how original and "gripping" it was.....WHAT!!?? I had the freaking thing figured out 20 minutes into it..."Oh no...it must be the freaky-looking new guy"..."Oh no....it must be the freaky looking old homeless dude".....so cliche, and so obvious that they were trying to throw red herrings at the audience. Come one, we've seen this a million times before. What twists were there?? And the ending was HORRIBLE!! Why did buddy keep running down the seemingly endless aisles of storage things, when he could have run to the road (where there were lots of cars driving along!) and flagged down help!? No, let's just hide here and wait for psycho killer to find me!! Come freaking on.....I've never made a film in my life, and I could have done better than this. Bad, bad, bad....and as noted above, there was nothing original about this movie, I have seen "Morkeleg" (96), and it was almost identical plot, and done much better. VERY disappointed!

wel after reading this review on here

---------
I have seen a LOT of films this year, but very few of them even come close to this film. It fools you into thinking it's starting out simple enough, but once it gets moving, HOLD ON! Plot twists, surprises, red herrings, the works! And you'll NEVER guess the ending. It just moves like greased lightning. It's got sexy good looking people, one of the smartest scripts I've seen in a while, and directing that is right in tune with the big Hollywood blockbusters. I had a chance to chat with director Robert Harari, and he's a man with a plan. He knows what good film-making is and all the tech stuff, but even more importantly, he knows how to make a film work. His chops are razor sharp. It was like watching The Empire Stikes Back. It hits its groove, takes off, and never lets up for a second. And just when you think you have it all figured out, it turns out to be something else. Really, really GREAT film-making.

Yes, defintely don't waste your time downloading this craptastic movie. I don't think the dude who wrote that review above watched the same movie as I did...seriously....there are NO plot twists....and if there are, they must have been REALLY dull, cause I totallly missed it. Finiding out who the killer is does not constitute a twist in my book. A twist is something that makes you sit up and go "What the hell!!??!!" This movie did NOT do that...not even close. If you want to see it, send me your address, and you can have my copy...lol....cause I'm pissed I spent money on this crap.

What do you have against David A. Cross?

[–] joannafannadanna 16 years ago

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he was the director or writer on this one. Sounds like someone's got a grudge.

LOL I had to check the credits to see what that poster was talking about. yes i'm sure its all the editors fault WTF?

[–] sweded 16 years ago

Umm. Yeah, I'm with darkmatter on this one. What did the editor (of all people) do that made this so bad? Sounds like you got a grudge pal.
