I swear i've seen this movie.


My stupid brother made me watch a movie just like this not too long ago on Netflix.

I worked on the movie but never saw it. did you like it? :D

That quote is from one of the Indiana Jones movies. Just checked Netflix, its not listed on there. Has anyone actually ever seen this movie? Under release dates it says that it was released on DVD almost a year ago, back in January 2012. There's no synopsis, no trailer, so was this movie that completely horrible that it has never seen the light of day or what?

Eric Roberts is in the movie for about 45 seconds at the very end. This was a surprisingly good film. Not even close to original but I give it a 6.8/10. Remember, it's a no-budget film and the actors are not bad, but it's the story that's the real star. The reveal was cool. I like single location flicks and dug this one. If you don't like films like, Saw or Would you Rather, then you sure as sh!t won't like this.

I have no idea what movie you were watching, this movie was absolutely terrible. Yeah, I like these type of movies, but wtf was this one supposed to be?

A decent script requires no budget and this one was utterly flawed.

They were given instructions in the beginning but never really bothered following them at all.
They wanted to do the voting once, the guy who was chosen decided to kill someone else and they are just totally fine with it?

They never bother voting again, they never really try to defend themselves and even most laughable thing is that as the psycho guy says how on earth is it possible for him to survive that long?

Why on earth didn't anyone kill him?

And what is the point of telling them to identify the greatest sinner or saint amongst them? If they clearly randomly kill people then either the person is possibly already dead which means they are doomed anyway or that the person can't die and "fate" would protect them, ergo the game is rigged anyway.

I'm not even going to mention how unbelivably stupid it is that everyone just started blabbing their sins instead of... you know... lie to save their necks.

Or how dumb it was that the bodies disappeared and every single time they kept going into utter shocks about that.

or how generic and boring the characters were (they didn't even have names, and the only one who said her name was even a lie)

And let's not even forget about the ending that made absolutely no sense.
(Obvious spoiler)
If what's her name was the Devil all along and was the one to set it up, why on earth did she act surprised when the last one died when the door opened? He should have known what's happening... Not to mention how stupid does it make the rest of the movie.

I think the other guy comparing this to breating room was correct. Both movies sucked big time. They have same flaws and the same ending that makes no sense what so ever which makes the movie pointless. Though frankly, at least breathing room had some form of tension till the end, this one had me snoozing after 5 minutes.

I'm pretty sure we seen the same one. I'll bet there are a ton of films you like that I think are total sh!t. The story wandered. they never stuck to the rules. Some of the acting was questionable, but here's the thing, dude. I liked it. Woah, like, I have an opinion that differs!

reply

so? did he try to took your right to have an opinion? in case that you are not a shill, then good for you. nevertheless, i found it to be laughable and so did the other poster and did very well lay down why.

reply

Define, "shill"? Do you mean am I anything to do with this film? Seriously?! lol. I reviewed it and liked it. That's about the extent of the matter. I know why some didn't like it, but I try to look beyond the budget. I try to view a film from just more than the casual aspect.

No biggie, man. To each, their own!

reply

yes, that's what i meant.

not quite. you wrote that you liked it and afterwards jumped on a guy who did not not and could very well argue why. now you are defend it with "i try to look beyond the budget" and even "I try to view a film from just more than the casual aspect". that's typical shill behaviour, especially the latter. if this film had anything, which to me it has not, then it was a "switch off your brain and enjoy" aspect. that alone requires an extremely low expectation from the script and execution for a movie, when it comes to this one. pretending that this film had any "deep" aspect on top of that is beyond ridiculous.

anyway, as i said: good for you, if you enjoyed it.

reply

First of all. If you think someone is a "shill," then what I'd do is have a look at their posting history. I've caught a few directors and producers out by doing just that. Now, if you bothered to look at my posting history, you'd see I'm just a dude who digs movies. I also write film reviews but I sure as sh!t don't make films, or have any interest in them beyond watching and criticizing them.

I'm not trying to get all in your face, man. Just sayin.

i saw it and i knew in advance that it would be cheap, ridiculous and stupid. nevertheless it was even worse than i expected. i ahve seen a lot of those "a couple of strangers pinned against each other" films and this one was even worse than breathing room and "would you rather". i can't cope around the fact that got one or the other somewhat known actor to participate in this crapshoot.

Fake had the best things to say about this awful film.

reply

I can't say that I liked it or disliked it, it's a bit of an odd one. It had no budget and not much in the way of story but it kept me entertained for an hour and a half. Can't really recommend it but if there's nothing else on the TV or you've run out of things to see on netflix then go for it.
