BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Christine Peters I was worried that watching this with my teen aged kids would be too violent. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this film unlike others was not centered around senseless violence.It actually had a clever script built around a story that had you guessing right up until the end about who might be the "bad guys" in the movie. Both of my kids (they are so smart) claimed they figured out who was a secondary villain in the film.I didn't but what can I say, I missed the clues probably because I was too busy fixing them snacks.LOL I recommend this thriller/ mystery to anyone that wants to exercise their brain a bit and not be force fed gratuitous violence with a shell of a plot.Thank You for publishing my review! :)
Roger Finnegan I purchased the BluRay at Amazon and can tell you this movie is more of a strong thriller/suspense film with loads of horror elements.It is not your typical cheap, slasher gore-fest although there are many horrifying moments to even satisfy the most hardcore horror fan.What I liked about the movie is that there are several twists to the story so try and stay sober people if you want to wrap your head around what the screenwriter is trying to tell you,his audience!The script was as tight as the acting. Dominic Purcell is amazing as a human beast and the female leads are simply gorgeous, I give this movie 2 thumbs up, a hi-5 and bravo to its parents, Campion Murphy & Emmy Award Actress/Producer, Faith Ford who must be quite proud of this baby :)
Noah Wilson Hey, I'm Noah & I'm a hug fan of this movie. It was a really great movie. It was a scary movie. But scary movies make a movie fun to watch. I have to say all the cast were really great. Faith Ford was the best. You all remember Faith from the show Murphy Brown & Hope & Faith. The other cast was great as well like Justin Gaston, Dominic Purcell, Melissa Ordway & many more amazing great wonderful cast. Campion Murphy did a excellent job of writing this film & I loved it very much & my whole family watched & we just love it we are watching it again & again...It's worth watching & definitely worth buying on DVD. I highly recommend everyone to see this great movie. @Team_Faith_Ful
cmoyton "Dominic Purcell from Prison Break" with a nice big picture of him and his shaven head on the cover of the UK DVD. Wait a minute !!! He doesn't even look like this in the movie - no shaved head , no orange coloured jump suit - could this be a cynical piece of mis-advertising by any chance?? I could accept that if the movie was any good - it isn't . This is a feeble rehash. It reminded me a bit of the Black Christmas remake minus the gore with a twist of Halloween minus the scares, tension , logic etc etc. Purcell cruises through on auto pilot on a script written on the back of a matchbox. His escape is so so easy and then at the end when the ten strong police force capture him - he escapes again - oh boy. Cue a harassed detective with the chief on her back, dumb ass but good looking twenty somethings who do senseless things, the thunderstorm , the power outage, the indestructible killer, She runs , he walks - he still manages to catch her!! All this and much much more!!!........minus any scares, gore, tension or reason for watching.
