Really Boring


I expected so much more from this. The first 35 minutes were so boring, I almost didn't finish watching it. The rest really wasn't much better. If you're expecting anything like The Collector series, forget it. It's not like that at all. It has nothing that made those movies good. And the neighbor's "secret" turned out to be kind of lame. None of it worked for me. This is not a horror movie, it's a thriller. And it was nearly tame enough to be a tv movie of the week thriller. It's boring, it starts boring and it ends just as boring. There's some violence, but too little. It just wasn't worth sitting through. I don't know why they didn't just make The Collected instead of this waste of time.

I've seen way way worse movies, with massive budgets.. I keep that in mind, when I make my judgment in films.. This movie was far from perfect, and the "secret" was lame, but it wasn't that terrible..

I agree that it was more of a suspense than a thriller but, this was much better than most horrors or thrillers coming out lately.

I'm in total agreement with the opinion of this movie being way better than the majority of crap that's peddled out into theaters/on-demand-menus.

I, too, can understand the comments about this being somewhat "boring" when compared to a movie like, "The Collector". I think if I'd have gone into this movie with a mindset that believed it was going to be similar to "The Collector", I, too, would have been let down and very much disappointed.

My mindset going in was that it was gonna be a low budget thriller similar to "The Hunted"(the 2013 thriller with Josh, Skipp, and Ronnie Gene Blevins)..and for me, that's exactly what I got, and found myself quite pleased with the movie.

I think if more people understood, up front, what type of movie they're sitting down to watch, they'd be much more likely to enjoy it for what it is.

I just came here to say it was a boring film but a lot better than the other tripe that is available nowdays.

Wow you must have a seriously low attention span. Just thinking the movie is boring makes no sense, but thinking it's REALLY boring? Wow... The last 40 minutes or so is non-stop tension and suspense. A movie doesn't need to have a lot of violence to not be boring.

CG gore is the worst thing that has ever happened to the horror genre.

This was a typical film with a simple plot but it was definitively not boring.. you can't expect a movie to just be mindless violence all over, they had to build it up at least in some way and I think they did it fine considering the movie is so short.. how would the ending make sense had they got rid of the restaurant and couple scenes, you wouldn't even care about these characters in the first place..

Just watched this, thought it was an edge of your seat supense thriller. Was waiting for the usual dumb moves by the victims when trying to escape but to my surprise there was non. I really thought Josh's cover was blown when the killer saw the beer bottles and was playing dumb to weed Josh out but again to my surprise no usual cliches. Loved how the girl ended up saving the day at the end too. Great movie.
