This movie was REALLY bad.


I posted a short review. This movie isn't worth anything more than a 15 minute non-proofread review. Hopefully it sees approval. For those of you who thought this was a good movie I have 2 things to say: 1) you need to see more movies because there are plenty of better ones... Home Alone comes to mind lol 2) no one cared about this movie when they were making it, and you need to be able to recognize that a) the script writer ran out of ideas very shortly b) there are plot holes that no one cared to fix c) the editing is really bad (see review for details) d) the last 40 minutes are complete rubbish filler where nothing happens and then the movie ends without even a falling action and denouement, indicating that the ending was rushed ( you can practically hear the crew saying let's just get this thing over with!)

There are numerous problems with your reply.

1) Even if "better than 2 other movies" was a fact, and not just your opinion, it wouldn't make the movie in question good. Most movies are better than some other movies. It is meaningless and the fact that you can't recognize a simple and common logical fallacy means that your opinion is void, not mine.

2) The photography in this movie is not noteworthy. Yesterday I started watching Self/Less, which had excellent photography. If you would like to convince me that Tiger House has good photography, please point to one or two scenes that illustrate your point.

3) Compared to other movies, this one does NOT have well-developed characters. The most well developed character is the main villain, and his is a hollow shell. The main female lead is not developed at all, and either is her boyfriends family. The most we learn about her we actually learn from the boyfriends mother. That doesn't say much about her development. The father and the other criminals had practically no characterization at all. Once again I ask you to point to a couple scenes that contain excellent characterization. If you are unable to do this I suggest that you cede your point.

reply

Shut up. If you only live to watch movies with great developed characters then go back to watching such films. Saying that people who enjoyed it know nothing about movies is just laughable like your whole post. I know more about movies than you ever will and enjoyed 'Tiger House'. Well made film. No need for much of a character development. You know right away who the good guys and bad guys are. Movies are made for people and most people will sympathize with a girl because she's a good person who cares about her boyfriend. No one cares if you think It's a great film or bad film because unlike people who made this film - you are a nobody. Deal with it.

reply

Well that's all fine and well but a few things are wrong with your premises. But first of all let me just say that I don't "live just to watch movies with great character development", after all I watched this POS movie... but what I want to say is that if you do the math, you will NEVER be able to watch all the movies in existence. Even if you had 2 or 3 lives. My point here is that people should pick their movies wisely. That's why I had to come here and write about how bad this movie was. When I found the inevitable fanboys drooling over this movie I had to say something. I want people to really appreciate things, and I also want movies like this to stop getting made (this script should not have been made...)

Here are the problems with your premises:

1) the movie was bad and nothing that you say about me, or yourself, will change that. you are stuck on a logical fallacy that if you insult me, or talk about how smart you are, that somehow the movie will change or that your arguments will be better, when the funny thing is you didn't even make an argument or respond to mine. In fact, the only thing close to an argument you made was "Characters don't need to be well developed as long as you know who the bad guys and good guys are" which is basically a retarded statement, no offense.

2) The people that made this film are nobodies, too. Who do you think made this, Spielberg? This previously unknown play-director failed with this movie, his first movie. This is evidenced by the fact that he is distancing himself from the film. He edited his website to remove information about the film. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. Even the people that made the film knew it was bad.

3) I only mentioned character development because someone argued that this movie had such great character development, so it's ironic that in trying to argue with me you actually are defending my point.

4) If you knew right away who the bad guys and good guys were, then you must be a psychic, because the movie has a twist ending, or did you forget?

5) The consensus is that this is a bad movie. You can insult and attack my views but you can't convince anyone that this movie is good. All you do is dig yourself into a whole that you can't get out of - you'll have to spend the rest of your life pretending this was a great movie, otherwise you will have to cede that you were wrong. In my opinion just grow up and get used to admitting you are wrong. All decent people do this and not infrequently. Your turn.

In closing, you say you know everything about film and that's fine but one day if you ever want to have an intelligent view of films, art, media etc. you will have to understand that just because you LIKE a movie does not make it good. For instance, I liked the Entourage movie I watched the other day, but I recognized that it had a lot of bad scenes and overall was not very good. It goes both ways; Eyes Wide Shut was a movie I didn't really like but I still recognized that it was a good film.

Edit: After rereading your post I noticed another logical inconsistency. You state that people will sympathize with the female lead "because she is a girl who is a good person and cares about her boyfriend". Yet you also state that this movie lacked character development and didn't need it. See, the thing is, I didn't think the female lead was a good person. There wasn't anything in the movie to prove that she was. In fact, she didn't treat her boyfriend very well after their argument, did she? What makes her so good, and how do you know since, as you admitted, the movie lacks character development? Seems to be a major problem with your view.

reply

You are nothing but ignorant troll or just a simple idiot. Probably both.

I'm not insulting you. Saying that you are nobody or laughable is not an insult. It's a simple fact.


'after all I watched this POS movie...'

Yeah. But have you seen this film because you like to watch 'bad movies' or because you expected it to be good?


'My point here is that people should pick their movies wisely. That's why I had to come here and write about how bad this movie was. When I found the inevitable fanboys drooling over this movie I had to say something. I want people to really appreciate things, and I also want movies like this to stop getting made (this script should not have been made...)'

Pathetic. You are nothing more than attention whore but guess what? You won't get any attention because nobody cares what would you like. People watch what they want and so far most people here enjoyed it. Stop trying to be people's 'movie guide'. It won't work because, well because you are nobody, nick on the internet message board. People don't care what you think is a great movie. Movies are getting made because some people actually do more than talk and they will be made for the rest of your life. And all you can do is complain about it but again. No one will care.


1. Nope, just because you hated this film and think it was bad/horrible doesn't make it true. It's just your opinion. The movie is well made and well acted - that's a simple fact for everyone who knows anything about movies. My statement is not retarded, you are. You watched simple home invasion movie and you are complaining about it like it would be expected to be Oscar nominated material. Guess what - It's not. It's a simple film to entertain people. If you only want to watch art. films - go ahead. It's like I would want to watch a horror film and went with 'Police Academy' just to say it was crap because there was no horror in it.

2. No - you are nobody. It's a professional film, made by professionals working in this industry. Your retarded remark about Spielberg shows us again who you are. Yeah, because every director needs to be Spielberg level of fame, otherwise he's a nobody. Are you 13? You are just a guy who watches movies and later complains about them on their imdb message board. That's all you can do, that's all you will ever do in life. These people get this done, they made this film and managed worldwide distribution. All of them can be proud of it. Also, I checked the director's website and what you said is obviously lie. 'Tiger House' is mentioned in a first place in his biography. There also is a trailer for it in other section. So much for distancing himself from the film. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.


3. I'm not defending your point. I only say what I think. I never said this movie is a masterpiece. I said I enjoyed it. It was a good film, not great.

4. What exactly twist ending had to do with anything? The main character is a GIRL. There was no twist about her character.

5. So far you can't convince anyone that this movie is bad because It's not. It has it's faults but It's enjoyable film. So now grow up and confess that you are a moron because that's a fact.



". Yet you also state that this movie lacked character development and didn't need it. See, the thing is, I didn't think the female lead was a good person. There wasn't anything in the movie to prove that she was. In fact, she didn't treat her boyfriend very well after their argument, did she? What makes her so good, and how do you know since, as you admitted, the movie lacks character development? Seems to be a major problem with your view.'

Female lead was a good person and anyone with half a brain will notice it. She loved her BF(even had notes and pics in her notebook) and she did everything to help him and his family. If you haven't seen it, maybe you shouldn't fast forward when you watch movies. She could leave quite a few times and yet risked her life for him and his bitchy mom. She also helped his stepfather.

So in closing. You don't need much of a character development to have a character to root for. Most people who will watch this film will root for her because of her actions and good heart. Her backstory is minimal but we do know that she's not some rich, spoiled snob. Most people like to see poor little girl out of trouble, especially when villains are bunch of ruthless bastards(except for one who was dying anyway).

Haha, yeah. Because if I enjoyed the film and was willing to elaborate a bit more than 'it rules' or 'it sucks', I must be part of the production team. Guess what? I'm not. I simply liked the film for what it was and hate when people say 'worst movie ever' for a sake of it.

So the only amusing person here is you. Because looks like you are too dumb to realize that there actually are people who like this film and enjoyed watching it. Shocking, huh?

I have to admit that when I went to TomDaley.com he does list Tiger House as his most recent accomplishment. I am not sure what website I was on when I made those claims but I admit I was basically wrong and should have done more research.

As to all your other points... well you didn't make any that I didn't answer in previous posts.

I never said every movie has to win an oscar in fact the oscars seem to be industry achievement awards rather than reflections of the winner's work in question which is why I don't think the oscars are a very good indicator of the best movies. What I did say was that there are too many movies to waste time watching this one. If you really want to know why I watched it I will tell you the truth: I watch lots of movies all the time. And I don't check them for actors, directors, genre, or anything. I just watch them with an open mind and no expectations, what about you?

'I watch lots of movies all the time. And I don't check them for actors, directors, genre, or anything. I just watch them with an open mind and no expectations, what about you?'

I watch genres I like. I don't waste time on let's say...romantic comedies just to say later 'it sucked'. Because I suspect they would suck. I watched this film because it's a home invasion subgenre which I like. As I said - It's not a great film but I liked it and it was well made film. It had some *beep* cgi in the end that was done to increase so called 'production value' but all in all it was well made film and yes, well acted. If you think this was bad acted go and see Asylum/Syfy movies or Brain Damage films. Then you will know what bad acting is.

I'm not saying everyone should like this film. I have no problem with people not liking it but I don't like when someone starts 'horrible movie, don't watch' topic. I have seen way too many bad films to agree with that.

Good and bad are relative. It is based solely on opinion. You cant say someone is wrong because they thought that the movie was good. Don't be an arrogant ass and say something is a fact, when it clearly is an opinion. You sound very uneducated.

reply

You sound naive. It's like those guys who obsess over My Little Pony who say that the criticism they receive isn't fair, and "just because they like something doesn't mean that they are wrong or that there is something wrong with them." When in fact it's anti-social and weird and calls into question their sexuality... are they pedophiles? People can like whatever they want but don't tell me that "good and bad are just opinions". Sure, good and bad ARE opinions, but they're not just opinions, and that's something you need to learn if you want to be a critical thinker. Get over that hurdle and then we can talk about what good and bad really means, and then you'll be on a higher level of thought than you are currently.

By the way, if being "educated" means being nice to everyone and having a clueless MOR opinion on everything, well then I guess I am uneducated. It's just sad that being "educated" these days means being politically correct and thinking the same way as everyone else. If you have any critical thinking skills at all I challenge you to a thought experiment: Could someone who says other people are wrong for thinking a movie is good ALSO be highly educated?

reply

Well you clearly missed what I was saying. People that say something is a fact, and then give an opinion, are stupid. OPINIONS ARE NOT FACTS. You are stupid. That is what I was getting at. Instead of going on a rant that makes no sense, and is irrelevant to the subject, you should have thought about what you said and not used the word "fact" when trying to convey your opinion. A good personality trait for a person to have is being able to realize when you have done something wrong, and then learn from it. Instead you choose to write a long winded rebuttal, about nothing, to defend your own ignorance. Once again you sound uneducated and desperate to get your terrible point of view across.

reply

That's fine just go about your life thinking that opinions are neither right nor wrong. Stupid sheep.

reply

Hear Hear. I'm amazed people are even spending time replying to this idiot's opinions.
I read his review and was amazed. He probably either watched it with his eyes shut or watched it on his phone in a bus on his way home or something. Either way, he missed half of a great, maybe slightly unconventional, movie.

I think the this film was just really wrong made.I liked the cast and the acting, the story is not original and it definitely wasn't going to be something special but still it could be a descent movie if the director did his job right.

reply

Bam you nailed it. Bad directing and editing. People didn't do their jobs right. The screenplay itself probably had a lot of problems or maybe the production team cut scenes or tried to jam scenes together but either way the screenplay as it was produced wasn't up to snuff. Again someone didn't do their job right. If this movie was a 4 or a 5 I wouldn't have even reviewed it. But it's a 3 and people are giving it 10s so someone has to tell it like it is.

Man was this movie awful as hell, I fell asleep after an hour, watched the rest on fast forward. I wouldn't recommend this pile of horse dong to anyone, save your time it's precious.

reply

I thought it was half way decent. It kept me entertained throughout. Like all of these kind of movies the victim/victims make wrong decisions. If they made the best decision right off the bat the movie wouldn't be long enough.

reply

This movie has a unique set up but fell flat quivkly. The poster art pulled me in. I expected a low budget "You're next" but this was near unwatchable.

I am a hundred thousand percent DONE with these awful movies that have been coming out in the last 5 years about women somehow magically murdering entire hordes of baddies.

Kristy and I spit on your grave come to mind. Kristy was the worst by far, so many glaring holes. For example, her being the ONLY STUDENT that stayed behind for Thanksgiving? At my university there were always at least 50. And it was a small university.

One security guard who of course gets murdered but somehow the protagonist is stronger, smarter, and everything. Women put men to shame with their superpowers. Female power, we are women, hear us all queef in unison!!!! WOMAN POWROAR!!!!!!! WOMAN POWER!!!!

These producers and inept directors know that feminists will hungrily gobble it up while salivating from both ends. But they are terrible movies that are clearly just attempts to "empower women."

You know what? There are ways to empower women without making your movies absolutely ABSURD. Sorry, but a 5'10 woman does not have the same strength as a 5'10 man. Much like how chimpanzees are lighter and smaller than a 5'10 man but could rip them apart. Like a man practically has no hope against a chimpanzee if he doesn't have any weapons.

The AVERAGE woman who does not work out much is 50% weaker than the AVERAGE man who does not work out. Empower women in realistic ways. Trying to act like women are something that they are NOT is pathetic. I would have made these movies awesome by making them win using intelligence, cunning, wit, and certainly at times strength.

But these movies make it seem like women are as strong as men which is PATENTLY FALSE. Get over it. Seriously. Quit it with these awful feminist movies.
