hahahaha. just tell me the whole plot within the title

wow, i am used to films getting spoiled within the trailer, but this is something new: tell the whole film within the title and tagline.

"9 Days - Whipped Tortured And Chained By A Psychopath". is that supposed to be ironic? how about "90 minutes - getting bored by bad writing, a simple ridiculous plot ludacris splatter effects and finally angered by a crappy wannabe twist ending".

why not rename action movies this way, to make them easier to remember. how about (fast and the furious): "2 weeks of criminal behaviour and illegal high speed races, supported by barely dressed hotties" (oceans 11) "eleven guys - rob a bank in a very risky way to get revenge on some other dude, btw clooney gets his chicks back, it's insane" (scarface) "cocaine - gets sold by a smart and goodlooking immigrant that eventually loses his mind" ... etc etc etc

oh, wait. i forgot the strange use of the word "and". let me rephrase my fast and the furious title: 2 weeks - of driviving around AND doing crime AND tuning hot cars AND escort hot chicks AND showing muscles.

Thank you! I came here looking for something, anything, to give me an idea of whether I should watch this movie or not, & your post answered any questions, & cleared up any desires, I may have had. You have saved at least 90 mins of my life!!

BTW, I loved your re-titles, & even your hip hop version of ludicrous. Just wanted you to know. Truly appreciated!

LOL That's just the plot, it's not what happens... If you get my meaning.

What's far more important is that Limbo was removed by the Pope in 2007 so there should only be 8 days. ;-}

I type slowly...

Beatrice, just wanted to give you a tip. NEVER come to imdb message boards looking for an honest opinion of a horror movie(any movie for that matter). I wouldn't even trust the reviews unless there are 10+ and even then they have to be taken with a grain of salt.

Read external reviews anywhere you can find them, that is where you will get a better idea if a movie is for you.

I honestly can't comment on whether this film is good or bad, but from reviews I read it is a low budget indie horror fare that is average to slightly above average so I am going to put it on my list of films to see.

I love indie horror though. A lot of people don't or say they do, but really don't.

People who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
