Details

The story of Skip, a young ex-convict who takes a position as a night janitor at an old-west theme park. His supervisor Archie, teaches him the ropes, but more importantly attempts to convey critical philosophical messages through a series of four stories: a down and out boxer is given the opportunity to become a real golden gloves killer; an assassin kidnaps three people in order to find out who hired him for his latest hit; a new recruit is initiated into a lodge of fez-wearing businessmen where hazing can take a malevolent turn; and a member of a suicide club introduces real fear into a man about to jump to his death.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
luisdavidac Forgive me IMDb but I must say this.User reviews and ratings on this site are many times quite misleading.Still I having been coming here for years.Sometimes I come across awful movies with great rating and vice verse.This is an example of the latter.Although the ratings haven't even reached 5 points, This is an excellent production.Great combinations of stories with solid acting from everyone,and with a message, or messages..this reminds me of twilight zone albeit modernised.loved every bit of it.And I am a tough customer when it comes to films.A great great find.So good it deserves a first post from me :)
speedy-droid This film starts off wonderfully with a beautiful interaction between Archie (Jon Gries) and Skip (Jason Spisak). In fact, every single scene involving Archie (Jon Gries), I found to be mesmerizing and very well acted. It seemed like such a perfect setup for a psychological thriller... And then the Roof caved in.Through a series of vignettes, Archie attempts to explain to Skip the consequences of the decisions that people make in life, all centering around a Locker, Number 13, which is present in some form in every single one of the short stories.But, the stories Archie is telling Skip just never quite tie in with the situation with which Skip ends up facing at "Locker 13". The Metaphor is never completed, and we're all just left wondering... "Huh?????"
stemal-1 I've been a sucker for anthology movies since the Amicus horrors of the 60s and 70s (sadly I'm old enough to have seen Tales From The Crypt and Asylum on 'the big screen'), so the synopsis of a little movie called Locker 13 greatly appealed to me.This is so nearly a great film of its type. All the stories are gripping, the wraparound included. Good dialogue and solid acting from some recognisable faces.Unfortunately, short stories for me also need a satisfying payoff. And this is where Locker 13 falls down. After interesting build-ups, most of them left me thinking, "is that it?" One memorable ending would have earned it a 7, but just a 6 for me. Certainly worth watching though.
Jesse Boland A solid three story vignette with a twisted tale tying them all together that just doesn't quite work. This is a decent mid budget movie with a very good cast, and I Enjoyed a couple of the stories, the main story that ties it all together needed to be tighter though, it just isn't right, and for the first couple of scenes it just feels cheap, and awkward. You either get the time travel right or you do it this way. Even so I recommend this for the shorts themselves, the actors are more surprising than the twists, and the performances are not all canned, but some are really good. Mr. Ricky Schroder is the Champ now in his own right, and really gives a solid performance. I will tell you that you may really like the shorts, and so for anyone who likes movies that are about redemption, or retribution, and have a yearning for nostalgic times, and stories lifted from The Twilight Zone or Outer Limits you will get something out of this. You won't get anything really new here, but they have done a decent job with what is at hand, and the actors are all really committed, (though some commit with more talent than others) I say give it a try. A bit of blood, but nothing to scare off the weak, or the meek
