Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ramon Battershall Dear God, this is dreadful, I've seen some boring horror films, some clichéd ones, and some illogical ones, but this really takes the biscuit. Really, where to begin? The atrocious dialogue that feels like it's been cobbled together after a first-year Psychology lesson? The cardboard characters who hold meaningless conversations that serve no purpose other than to take up time, the plot twist that is so preposterous it's not even funny, it's just stuff that creates a film that people will watch for money?Even at a barely film length of 87 minutes it still felt way too long. Aside from the dialogue between people who can only be described as characters because they're actors mouthing (terrible) lines in a film, at least half of the first act is meaningless jump 'scares' where nothing actually happens.If the first half's dreadful, it's still Silence of the Lambs compared to what can, charitably, be described as the denouement. Following a plot twist that can't really be described as such - it's just something that happens to turn a collection of words and pictures into a film - any remaining viewers are forced to sit through an interminable finale where every possible film cliché is thrown at you until it just becomes white noise, and an ending so ill-conceived, you wonder if the writer has ever interacted with another (or just a) human being. It's like Scream and all the other self-referential horror films never happened. It could have been made 30 years ago and it would still be as stale and unmemorable. I only bought it because it had two credible actors in Naomi Watts and Oliver Platt (why though?!?) and was on sale at Asda for £2.99 - and even then I feel robbed.I can't even say this is one of the worst films ever, it's just nothing, and even now it's beginning to fade from memory.

Robert J. Maxwell It's a shame, really. First, Naomi Watts is no longer the radiant golden girl of ten or so years ago. Age has reduced her to the status of a mere beautiful woman whom any normal man would love to smother in hot kisses.That's unimportant. What's really worrisome is that she's playing in dud like "Shut Ins." She is a widower living in a house in rural Maine, making a living as a counselor in the distant town, spending all of her time at home tending her brain damaged and vegetablized teen-aged son, changing his diapers, spoon feeding him, wheeling his apparently senseless body around.But one of those big Northeastern snow storms is about to blow in, likely cutting off all power and buying everything. She stacks up on comestibles and lanterns and is visited by a genuinely nice guy, single, whom she's met at the clinic, and whose son is also challenged. He's so sociable and helpful that she feels compelled to invite him to dinner. Clearly he's interested but she's polite and distant.The snow has barely begun, or maybe it's already stopped, and she's having nightmarish fantasies, or maybe they were dreams, of her son moving around the house deftly on his own, and then -- and then -- she wakes up to find herself tied naked in the bathtub by her now thoroughly mobile but maniacal boy and she forces her to take sleeping pills and then, and then, she struggles to free herself of her binding lines and then, and then, she swallows a bottle of SHAMPOO to bring up the gag reflex and rid her nude body of those wicked pills, and then -- and then -- well, I just couldn't go on.No, the tension was too great. My heart raced alarmingly as I waited for the next cliché -- the hand reaching in from offscreen, the cat shattering the Mason jar, the mysterious creaking of an opening door, the need to creep down the stairs into the dark basement, the WHAM on the sound track with each new shock.No. It was all too much. I can't remember if I shut it off before I fell asleep.

Reno Rangan At first, it looked fine. Well initiated by giving out a proper reason to develop what comes later. But that later part was the biggest let down. It becomes so cliché and because of that I lost interest. Otherwise, it is could have been a decent one with all the good actors. Also the location was good, a perfect setting for the storyline. But not noticeable when the narration enters the second half, mainly because of thriller takes over.It is the story of a psychologist who recently lost her husband in a car crash, but ended up taking care of step-son after he became mentally and physically incapable. When the life was in the routine, suddenly something bad happens where her young patient goes missing. Following the event, she begins to experience what others won't believe her. But what comes later is more shocker, a twist in the tale takes us the conclusion.As the title and its genre suggest, it remained truth to that, but there is no innovation in storytelling. Most of the people would easily predict most of the parts if not the entire film. The casting was the advantage and they all were good, including the kid from 'Room' and Naomi. Even though it is rated very low everywhere, as well as by me, kind of entertaining, which means watchable till the end than cut it out in the middle. Not a film to recommend, but if you choose it to watch, I won't say don't.4/10

geronimoviktor After seeing the rating, reading some reviews...I didn't even want to watch this movie. BUT, I'm happy I did. I honestly think it's good. It will not change the world with unexpected twists or so, but an overall rating under 6?? I don't get that.Give it a try guys :)
