Loosely based on the true events of a homeless loner who moves into a self-storage facility inhabited by a community of bizarre squatters until they are locked in for the night with a deranged female who hunts them down in search of her lost child.

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Michael Ledo This film is in no way a remake or sequel to the Terry West epic landmark film by the same name.In the city of angels, Gabriel (Gabriel De Santi) is mailed a key to a storage shed. Gabriel is interested in the shed as it holds a key to his real parentage. There are homeless people who live in some of the sheds and a mean owner named Arsen (Yasha Blackman), a second generation American who opted to keep his accent. Samira (Bree Essrig) is a chunky redhead who works there and takes an immediate liking to Gabriel who doesn't get along with the owner, hates life, and ignores his acting coach.There is also a naked woman (Cherie Daly) whose name is Jezebel that walks around like Mathilda May in "Lifeforce." Frequent "B" actress Bai Ling has a small role looking like the ho girlfriend of an NBA owner. Jillisa Lynn shows off her hammy legs, apparently on the same non-diet plan as Bree Essrig.The plot is straight forward and is explained about a third of the way through.The film could have been better. They went out of their way to create odd homeless characters and then did nothing entertaining with them. They needed to up the gore factor as the horror factor couldn't carry the film.In spite of any claim, this is not based on a true story, other than the fact people live in storage units.Okay as a desperation horror rental. Thank you writer/director Patrick Hasson for NOT making this a hand held camera film.Parental Guide: F-bomb. Nudity (Cherie Daly)
TdSmth5 In the intro we see some Latin guy get killed by some Spanish-speaking something. We learn that a percentage of homeless in Los Angeles somehow live in storage units.A homeless guy with mental issues, named Gabriel, living in his car receives a key from his brother. His parents wanted him to have it. It's a key to a storage unit. At the storage facility he meets the mean boss who warns him that any violation of the regulations will get his property seized. Also there is the cute attendant who likes him.Earlier we met a homeless couple that lives there. The girl is pregnant. Suddenly a creepy lady appears who kills the guy and keeps the girl in a cage and is very interested in the baby.We meet some of the other tenants. An old mute guy who writes on a typewriter. Two hookers. A young kid and his hot mother (the lovely Vida Guerra who unfortunately gets little screen time).Gabriel finds a chest in his unit and some junk. The chest is locked. When he finally opens it there's a folder with old newspaper clippings about a missing woman and a child.The creature lady appears a couple of times and the tenants sort of know about her. She pushes her long black nails into people's heads and that's when we see some flashbacks.Turns out she was a girl somewhere in Latin America eager to make it to the US, so she hires some lady to do some witchcraft/santeria so she'll find a man to take her to America. And she does. But this guy is violent and nasty and kills her at some point while she is in advanced stages of her pregnancy. Actually the guy is the old guy with the typewriter.So Gabriel and survivors will have to confront the creature as we learn more about this woman and about Gabriel's identity.A horror movie about the homeless sure is uncommon. The question is whether that's something you'll want to see. But then again this movie isn't about the homeless you'll run into in LA, but rather a fairly young and attractive bunch. Problem is setting a movie in a storage facility is rather limiting and also not appealing. The movie does look very good though. There are problems with the audio, often sound effects get in the way of understanding what is being said. But as often happens with movies these day, not a lot is said. There's very little dialogue and so you can't really care about any of the characters. Gabriel makes a weak lead. That's a common problem with characters with mental problems. Things improve when the lovely attendant and her hot friend are on screen. The background story of the villain is pretty good, that's what this movie should have focused more rather than on the various storage facility tenants.They tried to do something different here but could have done more.
rushknight What we have here is what I like to call a "null-point film". Now typically when you go out to watch a film, or head to the store to rent one, you have something in mind for what you would like to see. If you rent a drama, you are probably looking for good acting mixed with touching real life scenarios. If you are looking for horror, you are probably hoping to see scary monsters and frightening circumstances.If you decide to watch ANY sort of movie in the horror genre with the word "blood" in the title, you are most likely expecting to see some gore.Surprisingly, this movie offers non of that. This is why I call it a null-point film. Everything I was expecting to see didn't happen. Oh sure lots of people died.. and each one of them died completely off-screen, with the killing blow happening off-camera. You hear bloody ripping noises and screaming, but see nothing. The special effects were limited entirely to red contact lenses and fake blood with something mixed in to look like intestines.I am normally a proponent of not overdoing your special effects. The rampant CGI in movies today is annoying at best and it's always good to see amateur film artists looking to avoid that sort of thing. However, in this film the creators got excessively conservative.Why would you make a slasher film with no slashing in it? Because honestly the plot, acting and atmosphere add next to nothing to the movie; slashing was really all that was left. It was the point, and for some reason it was avoided almost entirely.Hence, a non-movie.
Zahid Iqbal A complete bullshit movie with no originality. Frankly speaking this movie doesn't even have a plot. Don't waste your time watching this. The poster came up like its evil dead or something like that, but trust me, noting but a complete haplessness awaits you after you've realized the movie has reached its finish line. Very very bad movie. Question to the movie team: What's the message here? Why did you make this movie? Why does the mother appear nude in front of her son??? A few boob scenes here and there and lousy acting everywhere. I don't know what made me watch this movie!!! Don't waste your time watching this, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!
