Reviews
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Mrssmiff I saw this last night as it premiered on Sky Movies. Synopsis sounded intriguing and I've enjoyed quite a few Austrialian "horror" films in my time.The storyline kept me engaged and I wanted to carry on and see what the outcome was. Some other reviewers have made negative comments about the ending but I had no problem with it and thought everything came together at the end.The only problem I did have with this film however, was the female characters, having just had Cesarean sections, were running and jumping around, climbing, etc. As someone who has had a Cesarean, I know from experience that you can not move around like that, in some cases for weeks afterwards! Although this might not be a problem for any other viewer, I just wished that had the women acted in such a way as a normal woman would having undergone such surgery, it might have added an extra element to the film.Doesn't make it a bad movie though, especially the actress who played Beth, she was excellent. Definitely worth a view for the story.
celr Somebody had an idea for a horror film and a location: an abandoned...what? some sort of industrial slaughterhouse? Anyway somebody let him use an industrial site for his movie. The idea was pretty dumb in itself but he went ahead anyway. Then he didn't know how to tell the story. Because he hadn't thought it out it didn't make any sense, but evidently he didn't care. He must have thought that having a six hysterical (pun intended), dumb, but attractive women running around trying to kill each other would be enough. The idea is that somebody is running a black market baby factory for rich clients by kidnapping pregnant women, removing their babies by cesarean section, and then having the bleeding, post-op mothers run around trying to kill each other to find out which one survives in the end. Presumably the surviving mom would have the best baby. (!) Nothing in this movie is believable. This is not a supernatural thriller which requires a willing suspension of disbelief. It is impossible to believe the fantastic plot, or the motivations of the operators, or the behavior of the women once they find themselves on the loose in the facility. Everybody does exactly the opposite of what any rational human being would do in similar circumstances. This is awful; don't see it. Not even if it's the last movie on earth and you're bored to death. Better death than watching this sloppy, ridiculous excuse for a horror film.
gavin6942 While traveling across country with her fiancé, Beth (Tabrett Bethell) wakes alone in an isolated clinic to a mother's worst nightmare. Just how far will she go to save her child? Let me say first of all I had the lowest of expectations for this one. I look at the cheesy cover, lack of known actors, the plot description... and all I can think is that this is clearly going to be a knockoff of "Turistas" or "Hostel". Which, as it turns out, is completely not the case. It has some elements of "Turistas", but is a far better film, with a healthy dose of "Battle Royale" mixed in.My instinct is to fault the makers of this film for saying it was inspired by true events. Almost all books and movies are inspired in some loose way (because it only makes sense you would write about what you have experienced). But this film was not inspired by true events except in the loosest way possible. There are simply too many improbabilities.In fact, the film is full of plot holes. Why does the one woman know the farm so well? How does this happen without the cops stepping in? Where are all the other women's husbands? How did they find so many women pregnant at the same time? How are freshly surgeried mothers so energetic? And it gets weirder at the end when more is revealed. So do not try to make sense of it, because that is your first mistake.But yet, I found myself fascinated and drawn in to the story, waiting for each new twist and turn. As much as I found it hard to believe and wanted to dislike it for being far-fetched, it was entertaining and had just enough mystery to make the audience think. Thinking movies and horror together? Oh my!
Kimmy S I really liked this movie.I knew I would when I read the plot summary. I don't know what it is with me and movies about women and babies or women defending their 'young'. That's why I liked 'Grace' as well. Anyway the movie starts out pretty casual but doesn't waste much time before it turns into a thriller. The acting in the movie is good, especially by the female characters. The main character is likable(she comes off as smart instead of stupid). I hate it when women are portrayed as weak,useless,low IQ idiots who get killed off in the first few minutes of a scary movie.This movie had a few twists,turns and revelations which I loved. It kept me interested throughout. There were 1 or 2 things which I think could have been executed better like the ending and the role of the husband but overall I liked it and it is definitely worth a watch,especially if you like horror movies about women protecting their children,i.e. Grace.
