Highly Overrated But Still Good

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The movie starts off by us reading about killings in an abandoned warehouse in 1937 involving stolen ancient artifacts. In current day Chicago, the warehouse is a multilevel storage facility. We see killings going on, or at least hear people screaming, appearing bloody, then their bodies being pulled away by something unseen.A group of college kids opt to go after the demon stones allegedly hidden in tunnels under the unit. This of course can only happen at night. There are other people accessing their units when the lights go out. The quality of the amateur filming approaches that of the hand held genre. The different groups act as various cheap subplots as people with flash-lights running and screaming. Kendra (Rocki DuCharme) appears to be the main protagonist among the groups of non-connected individuals.The plot was well conceived. The execution was horrible. More for those who like bad hand held films without knowing or caring who is filming.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

This is a claustrophobic film, made with a lot of effort, loving their work and VERY little, to ZERO budget. It has an excellent premise, and fairly executed for the almost non existent budget that it is fully noticed the movie had.Good performances from actors, with interesting characters, although there is always some idiotic character that have idiotic decisions which bring death.It has an interesting twist as key point: It isn't the creature who you should must be afraid ... but what do the creature "make" do. The point of an almost isolated, dark place, with strange sounds and things locked, a place that scare us, where there is not way out. is well used: the atmosphere is the most important thing here, you don't need to see, but imagine from expressions and noises.... and the "emissaries" of the creature do their work very hard (you have to see the movie to know that I say)Good end, but predictable, at least for me. I waited around more shocking nut there.I am not fond to the low budget films, but this one deserves it. No guts and good CGI monsters is need to be scary. I've seen films of very good quality effects, and very expensive to make that are "terror" (read ironically).Very low budget, eager work from all crew, good performances and good atmosphere. Is all that it takes to make a good movie. 8/10

I viewed this one recently on Redbox Instant because, well, because there was nothing out that I had not seen already seen and it was a dead Friday night. The dialog between the characters, and they were characters, keep me going. Too many of these straight to video horror films go after the cheap blood, nubile nude female body count,and lack completely in the story department. This one has a story and it plays out well. I recommend it for those who have seen all the big budget flops and want a little something thoughtful, entertaining, and not too shocking to alienate the family... The Human Centipede it ain't... and sometimes that's a good thing. Give it a chance.. I don't guarantee but do give odds on that you will likely enjoy it.

It's hard to overstate how gut-wrenchingly incompetent this film is. It looks like the final project of a student at an unaccredited film school. Specifically, a student who sat dozing in the back of the classroom while zonked out on cough syrup.The film is about a demon haunted storage facility. The story lines of three groups of characters exploring the place are not so much intertwined as put in a bucket and mashed together with a toilet plunger, creating a confusing mess whose only positive outcome is to obscure the film's insipid plot. As the victims are picked off by the POV monster (fortunately never seen) we're treated to endless repeats of the last scene of "Rec", which might make for an interesting drinking game, but only if Thorazine were used instead of alcohol.The main group of characters appear to be three hapless college age kids (Stringy Hair, Mr. Eyebrows and The Girl) who go on a treasure hunt in the aforementioned storage building. Their story is inter-cut with the two other groups, a widower and his dude-bro friend and a pair of women who (bewilderingly) resemble a young Melissa Etheridge and Cher. All three groups wander through poorly titled scenes edited by an old copy of Windows Movie Maker until the POV monster shows up to end their misery.All-in-all, this is the kind of movie I would have made if I'd been a 16 year old death-metal fan with a serious head wound. Maybe the guys at Rifftrax could do something with it, but I doubt that even they could make this train wreck entertaining.
