SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

mauroartista While this may not be the most exciting movie ever, or the most unique plot, I'd say this movie is very good at what it tries to do and manages to do it in a fun way. The premise is quite simple and may get predictable at times, but the scenes are shot in a beautiful way and the acting is descent. While you feel like you never get to know some of the characters, that may be part of what makes the movie interesting, as there are some very good moments of suspense where not knowing the characters is part of the feeling of being one of them, locked with completely strangers. The ending was probably my favorite part, they don't use any words to say what's happening but it's really clear and mysterious at the same time, the final scene is so short but that is what makes it so good. Give it a try, this movie is really entretaining and probably worth your time.

Adam Foidart The premise for "House of 9" may be familiar, but even if you have seen films like this before, there's enough good material here to make it entertaining. The premise is simple: a group of strangers are placed in a house from which there is no escape and are told that they must kill each other to win back their freedom (not to mention a big bag of money). People refuse to comply so they try to escape, but fail. Eventually someone ends up dead and things begin to spiral out of control until a couple of characters snap and start getting murderous.Though the film has its share of irritating characters (as any horror/thriller with this large of a cast does) I felt that they were believable and they balanced out the group of mostly calm and collected people well. As we get to know the characters better, we start to understand and sympathize with them, so they don't feel like stereotypes. There were times where I was thinking to myself "Ok, really? What are these guys, cartoons? How come they just can't get along like normal people?" But looking back at it, maybe they were never supposed to. I don't care what the masterminds within the movie said, I'm betting on the fact that this system is made to fail and see plenty of blood get spilled. Some of the performances are pretty broad, while other are decent, making the film often feel like it's all over the place. There are a couple of moments that are never really explained (an attack on a couple of people in the film is done by someone who is never seen) and there are a few set-ups that never pay off but it has enough twists and turns to keep you invested all the way through. As a thriller, it won't blow your mind but if you're even mildly curious about the premise I think you'll be entertained and satisfied with the story. (On DVD, October 28, 2012)

Whitetygrr This movie seems to have mixed reviews and has been compared to others and I do see similarities however there are plenty of movies out there that are similar to another or a total rip off or remake whatever so just because it may have similarities does not make it a bad movie. My only issue with the movie is a couple of the first few characters that were offed I was actually liking better than some of the ones that were left towards the end however the story obviously wouldn't have been the same. The movie for the most part kept my interest though I did nod off at one part but maybe that's because it was three in the morning! What really made this movie was the ending. I love a good plot twist or surprise ending and this has a pretty good one. Now this is considered horror most likely due to the violence but I would consider it more of a psychological thriller.

kluseba I've really expected a lot of this film. First of all, I wanted to see the movie because I was expecting a dark, interesting atmosphere, some unique characters (the name of Dennis Hopper sounded promising to me) and some weird and interesting ways to see how some of the characters would die.Well, most of the characters are quite superficial first of all. Second, it takes a lot of time before anything happens that captures the attention of the viewer, the introduction seems to last very long, without exploring some interesting details about the nine persons. The dialogues are quite boring and always turn around the same things. When the killing game begins, I was disappointed, because there was a lack of imagination concerning the way the people would die and a lack of logic, because almost all of the characters acted way too stupid or aggressive. There is no surprising element anymore, everybody is losing his mind and control and the dark atmosphere that was slowly created during the long beginning of the film is destroyed when almost everyone is dying quite quickly and quite the same way.The only surprising element is the end of the movie, but the rest is somehow easy to be guessed and superficial.If you like the general style and idea of this movie (somehow stolen from a famous novel by Agatha Chjristie, though), I could recommend the movie "Mindhunters" for you where people die in more original and surprising ways and where the character of each actor is somehow important for the development of the movie.
