Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

robertwest-45733 The premise of the movie seemed to offer many interesting possibilities. The old disgruntled employee made redundant by the passage of time and march of technology rendering his art (projection) dead, the attractive young naive couple charged with sexuality on a date and arrogant manager. Of course it was inevitable that the projectionist (RE) would snap and the victims would be the other characters. Its here that this movie hits its problems it is too cleaver for it's own good. So the projectionist manipulates the couple attending the late show in to being the lead in his very own horror show in which he the baddie is seen to save the day and the damsel in distress. The problem is the questions, why are these two the only people movie? How is RE able to know the exact time his drugging of the girl will take effect? How does he know that her boyfriend will act in the way he predicts? No I'm afraid this movies leaves to much to granted artistic licence. Maybe the main problem is this movie doesn't know what it is. Is it horror, well there's no gore no real scares, is it a physiological thriller, not enough tension no charterer depth at time it feels like we are drifting in a Saw type game playing movie without the gore. RE does what he does and of course he does it well, with a very limited script as for the other cast members they make a decent fist of what is basically a silly concept with smells of a writer setting out to show us how clever he is only to fail.

jordanpe-72094 A plot that interested me with much potential, that failed so drastically with absolutely terrible dialogue and acting, with the exception of Mr. Englund, as his creep of a character really is the only reason to watch this film.

jllewell Robert Englund acts everyone off the stage... literally! It could have been better cast as regards the other characters, but I really enjoyed R.E's performance, as I always do. I'm of the firm belief that he's sooo underrated because of Freddy Kruger et al.It's just a shame it wasn't a little more emphatic - I found it wasn't as 'tense' as it should/could have been.I still liked it, and I'm glad I bought it. This ten lines of text thing is sometimes way more than you have to say about a film, and that gets a little wearing, thanks IMDb.This ten lines of text thing is sometimes way more than you have to say about a film, and that gets a little wearing, thanks IMDb.This ten lines of text thing is sometimes way more than you have to say about a film, and that gets a little wearing, thanks IMDb.

FlashCallahan Allie, and her boyfriend Martin, go to see a midnight showing of The Hills Have Eyes 2 and find they're the only ones in the cinema screen. Stuart, is an old school projectionist, who has since been relegated to concessions, following the advent of digital projection. He slips drugs into Allie's lemonade, before her and Martin go into the movie. From there, Stuart proceeds to make his own movie, even though Allie and Martin, are less than willing to star.....For a low budget horror movie, it's surprisingly well made, and for once Englund isn't really hamming it up like he does in non Freddy horror movies. His Stuart is very mild mannered, almost Ned Flanders mild mannered, but you can understand why he is disgruntled in this digital world, his fellow colleagues and employer offer no respect, so why not take revenge by making your own movie.By the time the second act begins, you can understand why the budget was so low, it's filmed in a Vue Cinema somewhere in Chester I believe, and I think the staff just locked the doors and let them get on with it.It can get pretty tense in places, the stand off between Martin and the cinema manager is a highlight, but then it turns from a light horror film to 'Die Hard in a cinema', something that I thought would never be made.And the ending is something that I wouldn't have expected the makers or the writers to, so kudos to them for coming up with something original, rather than going down the safe path, even though you subliminally promise a sequel.But sadly, Berrington spends the majority of the film unconscious, Martin looks too much like Harry Styles from One Direction to convince as the hero, and Keith Allen pops up at the end looking for his career.It references old school horror, and there is a slight message of Old School cinema is the best, but its worth watching, even though it can get a little formulaic.
