Nonureva Really Surprised!

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

gavin6942 Four teenagers at a British private school secretly uncover and explore the depths of a sealed underground hole created decades ago as a possible bomb shelter.The film stars Thora Birch, whose headlining credit and highly publicized seven figure salary was attributed to her appearance in "American Beauty". It also features Keira Knightley, in her first significant role in a feature film. Birch, for some reason, is British here, and is presented in an overly sexual role rather than the geeky persona we loved in "Ghost World". Knightley has a secondary or supporting role, but fans may want to check this out as her pre-big break film.Worthy of note is that Embeth Davidtz also appears. She has gone on to better things, but horror fans will always know her for "Army of Darkness".

TxMike I managed to find this movie on Netflix streaming movies. The initial premise is simple, two guys and two girls skip out on a end- of-term field trip to spend 3 days "camping" in an old emergency shelter, underground with a metal door that opens up on a hillside in the woods. Basically a place few would know about and not likely stumble upon.But something goes very wrong. As the movie progresses initially and one of the girls makes her way to safety, and is explaining to a psychiatrist what happened, we see that dramatized. But is that what really happened, or do we have a case of 'unreliable narrator'? While this isn't a great movie is did hold my interest, I had no idea what would develop. I also like the actors, especially the two female leads, Thora Birch as Liz Dunn and Keira Knightley as 'Frankie'. In fact this is the role where at 15 during filming she flashed her breasts for a second, an act which has created at least a bit of controversy on the discussion board. But it was quick and innocent.SPOILERS: The first story we see, which is not accurate, has the four being locked by another boy in the secluded shelter then failing to show up 3 days later as agreed. But in fact he was a scapegoat, it was all a plan of Liz's to get a cute boy to like her, and when things went wrong each of the others died one at a time. All for the silliness of trying to get attention. To cover her tracks she put the shelter key in the other boy's pocket, pushed him into a stream, he was found dead with the key. They assumed suicide from guilt. Liz, the teenage psychopath, got off.

Bentleybowtie This was a well thought out and well executed movie. At first blush, the concept of 4 bratty teens stuck in a bunker seems awful, but the reality is quite the opposite!Said 4 snotty - er, bratty - teens are keen to avoid a school trip (how droll!), and end up seeking shelter from monotony in an old bunker. It is once they are unable to get out that things get interesting, straining, and much less enjoyable than a schoolyard trip!Good acting and camera work stops it from being tedious - the relationships and character development make it a thrilling movie. It is a great movie that is definitely worth your time, and I'd highly recommend.

Robert J. Maxwell Rather unpleasant but gripping story of four teen-aged school kids trapped in an old underground bunker in the kind of "densely wooded area" where all dead bodies are found.The kids have been trying to escape a field trip to Wales and entered the bunker with plenty of booze, planning a three-day debauch. Parties, however, can't last forever, as I've had opportunities to discover, and after the first night they're hung over and, to add to their misery, the iron door at the top of the bunker slams shut and is locked.Three days later, Thora Birch, the lone survivor, stumbles into the arms of the authorities, in shock, her clothing ripped. The three bodies are removed from the vault and Birch tells her sad tale to the shrink, Embeth Davidtz. The story of what happened emerges in several flashbacks as Birch gradually loosens up. I guess I won't reveal the details, due to legal confidentiality.The movie depends largely on Thora Birch and she's quite good as the sullen but conniving school outcast, cum murderess. She plain, but not too plain -- just plain enough to pass for an outcast, and her grooming is semi-Goth. The two horny boys are dispensable. Kiera Knightley is a stunning and flirtatious fox who oozes oestrus. Next to her, anybody would look plain. Both boys throw themselves on her and almost get his jeans off but not quite, worse luck. Too bad, what happens to her.Neither of the young girls is quite as attractive -- not JUST sexy -- as Embeth Davidtz, the earnest and puzzled shrink who is trying to make sense out of this jigsaw puzzle tale. Her Brit accent sounds flawless to my alien ears. Davidtz was born in Indiana but was moved at an early age to South Africa and I suppose that helped. By the end, the cunning Birch has turned suspicion towards Davidtz.If there's a problem with the movie it's that the milieu -- that awful and decrepit underground bunker -- is so dismal. What a depressing place to spend a three-day holiday. And the decor is a catastrophe. The toilets don't work and one of them winds up filled with maggots.I watched it with curiosity and some interest but I wouldn't go through it again.
