Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
cliometrician ***SPOILERS*** For a low budget horror movie this one was OK. If you've ever seen STORAGE 24, set in London, this is pretty much like it. This one combines a monster with dark magic, all set in a huge underground storage unit in a big city. Lots of folks were down there are either depositing or reclaiming property from storage lockers when things start going wrong with some of the people. Then came the glimpses at something large slithering around. Usually in a movie like this everyone acts dumb and makes stupid decisions. Actually, there are very few characters like this here--just scared ordinary people who want to get out when there's no way out, and they're in the dark. Safe to say we wouldn't act much differently.I'm a sucker for movies like this. Yeah, it's a slasher/monster movie but with a few twists that make it somewhat interesting.
David Yaron Nik For a horror movie on a low budget... that was more bang for my buck than I expected! The cherry on top was the hints of comedy, so very well placed by the writers and performed by the actors. I relate to it because those storage places are pretty creepy. The music and suspense was well placed. The characters and the storyline was nice. It was a bit cheesy, but that's why its a good movie, they didn't try too hard to make it into some blockbuster. They used the tools they had to the best of their ability it seems. The camera angles gave suspense. The most important part to me was the hints of humor though, it's tough to throw sarcasm into a horror movie i think. They did a good job of it on this one.Anyhow, if you like low budget horror flicks, you'll love this one!
mitzelflick90 Just surfing for something to watch, checked this out with my wife, she really does not watch horror, but she picked it. It's a low budget film, drops you in the middle of a lot of chaos with random people, three different groups, in storage building. It was a little slow at beginning, I thought it had a lot going on, but my wife didn't. But when the pace picked up, things sorted and bodies started dropping, it flowed. We have a storage place that my wife hates going to. All she kept saying, now you really gotta go to storage with me, so she said it was kinda psychological for her - camera stuff with creature, killings and music I guess - she's scary though. We watch horrible stuff all the time and laugh over it, make fun, this was COOL. Like a horror puzzle, but I can tell why a lot of people may not like it, because it's super low budget, no big special effects, but it's creative, especially when you have no money...liked it.
bob cool It's kind of a very low budget cross between (rec) and the Friday the 13th Jason movies, except there is absolutely no suspense. For the first half of the movie, between flashbacks showing why they are there, various people in the storage facility get suddenly killed by some shadowy, unseen gnarling demon thing, which has been unleashed by some thrill seeking relic hunting grad students who go there to find some museum relic (one of whom may have performed a ritual with it to let the demon out- but all the flashbacks (time-stamped) are so all over the time-line its hard to tell). There are about 5 or 6 parallel stories, all with their own flashbacks, so you might want to make a chart. Then some people discover bodies, and other ranting people, but except for one woman, no one really gets any idea they are in deadly demon danger for at least the first two thirds of the movie. No one really gets chased- they just peek into lockers, get dragged in and die. I stopped watching at that point. There might have been some semblance of a decent low budget movie premise here in someones mind at some point, but it was either lost on the editing room floor, or, more likely, was a very bad script and a director who has no grasp of suspense or drama. I suspect the local high school A/V club could collaborate and write something as good or better in terms of a horror script/storyboard.
