Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
mkivtt The sequel is half decent, but this first instance is just dumb.It's as if the writer thought up a dozen "trap" type scenarios, and only then realized he had to write a plot around it. That ended up falling flat on its face. From one day to another, this rich guy's mansion turns into a booby trapped home. Really? All that design, setup, and testing overnight?And for what purpose? There's nobody in that home except the rich guy, his wife, and daughter. The wife's tied up, the rich guy is tied up, and he doesn't know about the daughter. What exactly is he trying to achieve? Who's going to run through all those traps? It's just stupid. For the gore fans, there's nothing to see here either other than some blood here and there. Nothing shocking, nothing scary, nothing surprising, nothing worth seeing at all. Waste of time.
cmovies-99674 PROS: For starters, the acting in this film is so good its beyond words. The true raw emotions that each actor takes on is revealed with such honesty that it is hard to look over. You had love, fear, compassion, and pain that embody the film and its rawness so well. The other thing that I noticed as a critic was tactfulness of the plot. For me it is the little things that can throw a film off, but in this movie those little things were addressed in a polished way. This overall made the already great storyline even better! The whole idea of a booby trapped house made for a compelling film. And to top it all off the film was so well crafted. The special effects were great, the scenery was terrific, and the setting was so well organized and thought out.CONS: The biggest problem I had was with the resolution and build up of tension. To me there were way to many climaxes and just a really crummy resolution. The ending could've been better if it wasn't after 4 different climaxes. It would've been more impactful.www.chorror.com
D Rahul Raj Jsd It's Friday night, so I felt like watching this horror thriller, in the torture porn genre. The first film directed by Marcus Dunstan, and who also wrote the screenplay along with Patrick Melton. They are known for writing screenplays for Saw 4 - 7 and Feast series. Starring Josh Stewart, Juan Fernandez, Michael Reilly Burke, Karley Scott Collins, Andrea Roth, Madeline Zima, Daniella Alonso, Robert Wisdom, Diane Goldner, William Praed, and others. Awesome performance by the cast, great special effects by Gary J. Tunnicliffe and a creepy cool soundtrack. This is a scary, gory film filled with suspense and will keep you shivering till the very end. The first time I saw it, late at night, it scared the hell out of me and even my Mum was entertained by this movie, although she hates anything to do with horror. Absolutely brilliant, beyond amazing and a masterpiece. This is the twelfth time I've watched it and it is one of my favorite movies and horror icons of all time. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out, be sure to stay until the end credits and there's also a sequel.
Fella_shibby If you are looking for a movie that will keep your mind on the film and make you forget about everything else for the duration of the movie, then this is it. The story is original and it will keep you entertained and most of all guessing. It has a great claustrophobic atmosphere. The film gets into the action very quickly. The film has a true dreadful feeling as the trapped burglar Arkin played convincingly by Josh Stewart (The hunted, Law abiding citizen) tries his best to save the family and escape. Stewart gives the character depth and emotion. Marcus Dunstans direction is excellent as he admirably builds up the tension and suspense. He is the writer of Saw 4, 5, 6 n 7, Feast 1, 2, 3 n Piranha 3DD. The traps are some of the best to date. This movie is very scary and intense and well acted. The camera work is excellent and the film comes across as extremely dark and claustrophobic. The soundtrack is perfectly in tune with the feel of the movie and really heightens the timing of each of the scares.
