Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreOK, so the actual premise of this was OK and thats where the positives end i'm afraid. From the moment their car got a brick dropped through the Windscreen this thing sank faster than the Titanic. Once they were captured and locked up there was nothing to suggest any kind of Timeframe. I honestly thought they'd only been locked up for a day and they were ready to eat anything. Then all of a sudden the perpetrator goes to the cafe and low and behold here's an investigator looking for our missing Teens and we're then informed they went missing a MONTH ago. No signs were given that any time had passed, it always seemed to be Daylight, never was it dark. The main protagonist must have the slowest growing stubble in the history of Mankind as his growth NEVER got any longer. The only sign that time passed at all was their clothes getting a bit more grubby and her hair becoming slightly more tangled. The acting was comical, the plot had more holes than a sieve, the script was unbelievably awful. I realise this was made on a budget - they probably got paid in burgers ironically but that is really no excuse for any film being so rancidly bad as this. One character who was portrayed as the champion as he'd killed so many people looked as though he'd last eaten 2 minutes ago as opposed to being starved to near death for God knows how many Months. In fact the only one who looked near starvation was the female lead, though she looked so from scene one and never at any point looked any more so. I must say, i found it impressive their energy levels considering they'd been starved. This is awful on so many levels. It's worth a watch if you can't find any decent comedies, other than that, don't bother.
View MoreThis movie made me think in certain ways. The villains show that they have morals: while they are twisted, they have a code of conduct and whether they stick to this or not is something to pay attention to.Perhaps it is the straightforwardness of the movie that people hate, but the thing is, this movie is ***not*** predictable. People are mixing up these two concepts. The "plot" is easy to understand, but people judge this film almost like..... they want it to be confusing?? The film throws many scenes at us where we cannot be certain of the outcome. There are even a few twists, and I cannot say more about this without giving away my favorite part of the movie. Believe in the characters, and YOU will *not* be the one getting surprised. The movie starts out portraying the characters as very run-of-the- mill, very typical people, but that quickly fades away when they fail to live up to the average horror film stock characters. These are heroes, not the shabby type to scream their lungs out and freeze in fear until they are brutally stabbed, etc. These people FIGHT for their lives and I admire that. I think this is a GREAT, and I mean GREAT movie to watch as a couple, because their teamwork is incredible and really peaks towards the end. They also do very well on their own, and this is backed up in the story. These are VICTIMS, but they are not HELPLESS.The characters are developed. It bothers me that people complain about the smaller roles, but the truth is, we don't need to know much about them for them to serve their purpose. They come and go as they should, and they all add an element to the story: whether it be hope, or dread. Just because plans don't always work does ***not*** mean that someone is useless!! God, people want the story to be so predictable, and this movie just isn't. That's why I loved this one. Anyways, the story is obviously told from the point of view of our main characters, so stop focusing on the importance of minor characters. There are a lot of them and that's the point. The villain has been doing these wicked things for a long time. That's the message and it gets through to us. The only other thing I can say without spoiling too much is that by the end of the movie, these characters are fully addressed. (Watch until after the credits.)The villains have depth. People say their background is cheesy but it's absolutely not. There are hugely acclaimed horror movies like Silence of the Lambs, which put *no* effort into explaining WHY the bad guys do what they do (iirc, but I know movies like this exist.) but this one makes sense. I'd be p1ssed too if I was in the guy's shoes, and I'd probably want to take it out on the world. Doesn't that sound like the perspective a bad guy should be coming from? The telling of his story fits in with the plot perfectly, looping back to the very first couple of scenes.I will say that there were a very small number of parts that did not quite hit the mark, which is why I can only give this movie an 8/10 rating. Here is a spoiler, and while reading this won't ruin the movie for you, it will reveal bits and pieces. There is an undercover cop-like lady who tries to rescue the victims. Her acting is ***very*** bad. She dragged down this movie from 9 to 8, and I feel very strongly about that. Be ready to laugh at her scene and just take it with a grain of salt.I loved this movie. If you're the type that feels like they've seen it all, and you want something both **original** and **good**, with characters that can stand on their own two legs, watch this one.
View MoreI was flipping through the channels when I stopped on this movie. It was just starting but immediately I was drawn in. The characters were very well picked. They played the roles magnificently. You could really feel the emotions portrayed. It's very gory and unlike a lot of scary movies they actually show the action impact. I really likes this movie and I don't like a lot of scary movies. My Boyfriend was Scared!! Now that's something! I think this movie should be on the list of "Movies to Die For". By the way the lead female actress was damn good at her role. She played it so well and even reminded me of myself if I were ever in that position. Movies these days miss the point of being genuinely scary and seeing that this was just made in 2014 I thought I wasn't going to be a lot of green screening gone wrong. Than I watched it and I was proved wrong! I admit it! Seriously though, very good movie. I recommend this move to everyone except people that pass out when they see blood because there's a lot of it!
View MoreOne of the most thrilling and suspenseful horror movies I have seen yet. Each moment unpredictable. Every corner full of surprises. Kept me on the edge of my seat. And the ending?...Look Out !! I give this movie top ratings. What more can I say? If you like horror thrillers...this is a must see movie for you. There are horror and then there are horror movies, but this one has all the ingredients one Should and Can expect! So, to sum it all up, this movie will not let you down, it will keep you on the edge of your seat where ever you are, especially if you are alone. And as I said before, I give this movie top ratings and I think you will too! So get your popcorn ready, your box will be empty quickly!
