Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Leofwine_draca RANCID is a tiny budget indie thriller from South Africa. The plot has tinges of science ficiton here and there and involves four people who sign up for medical experiments but get more than they bargained for. It's an old story with the usual setting of a remote installation with little in the way of set-up or explanation, just a great deal of characters creeping around in the dark. I found it all quite dull.

nzswanny 2011's Expiration, also known as Rancid, is a low budget horror film about a medical test that goes wrong. The participants don't know what the medical test is about, they're just doing it for the money. Instead of a leading role, we have all the perspectives of the participants as they experience the test and start to realize that it is no ordinary one. Brandon Auret and Ingeborg Riedmaier are the best performances in this film, displaying realistic emotion and understanding their own roles and the situation their characters are in.The film is good to the horror genre and uses claustrophobia and shock value to please the horror film fan, but this film also has realistic characters with pros and cons in order to keep moving the story forward. The characters act realistically to their situation and are forced with obstacles and tasks to survive, revealing their personality inside and their instincts. Alastair Orr did a good job with the small bit of security-camera cinematography in the film, and most of the cinematography in the second half of the film was really good considering their equipment, but the first half's cinematography could of been a bit better, I think.A good film I recommend that will leave you asking questions in every scene. My only real problem with this movie is that I think the film could of been a bit slower paced so we could of built up more tension to the scary moments. Recommended, overall I'd rate this a 7.1/10. Sorry if the review was too short, but I didn't want to spoil anything...

rrcharpe I was hopeful when I began watching this South African produced horror/mystery movie but realized several minutes into it that one of the previous reviewers on IMDb (there were only two before I wrote this one) had nailed it when they mentioned that the total cost of the movie was around 200,000 dollars or less, and boy did this movie reflect that low, low budget. First of all it was a shame that there wasn't a better script because the one redeeming quality of the movie was the four primary actors (three men and one woman) who were actually quite good and very professional in their drama skills. However, the movie chugged along slowly and was quite out of focus throughout, making it a real chore to stick it out to the end. Overall I would give this movie a 3/10 only because of the four excellent actors. The director gets a 0/10 and whoever wrote this script will hopefully not get another chance to bore me (and others) to tears. StocktonRob

Neville bamshoe Don't watch this film if you're expecting a high budget Hollywood film. This movie was made for very little and is a fine example of what can be done on a micro budget. Give it a shot with what can be done with very little. Some inventive directing covers an interesting little story. The camera style on the budget is pretty admirable and I would like to see what could be done from these guys on a bigger budget. The story takes an interesting look at 4 applicants that sign up for a a bizarre medical test that has dire consequences. The zombies are dealt with in a unique way and the explanation to the test has a cool reveal. Give it a shot - but it is very, very low budget.
