    Breathing Room starts off with 13 people trapped inside a werehouse lookin room when another person is thrown into the mix a 14th person named Tonya things get really interesting as there trapped inside by electric collars and no means of escape no one knows who to trust then the...( read more) lights start going out and each time another ends up dead is the killer in the room with them? and if so who? now with the clues they have gotten they must figure out a plan to end this madness. Pretty cool Cube/Saw like movie that must have been made on a much small budget but worth taken a look at as its a cut above the rest

    Decent Saw/Cube inspired horror flick about a bunch of folks trapped in a room and forced to kill each other. The director keeps the pace going at a decent rate and the performances aren't too bad. Not necessarily recommended, but there's no reason to run away from it screaming.

    Wasn't sure what I was in for when I first started watching this movie but it turned out to be really twisted and a really great movie.

    Behold the personification of MEH. I didn't like it, didn't dislike it - the movie was just kinda ok. I'm usually a big fan of the 'throw people who don't know each other into a closed environment to solve a mystery' genre. It just didn't work for me here though. Quite possibly b...( read more)ecause, going by the ending, I'm not sure the writers really had an idea for the movie past that. Solving a mystery is only interesting if the payoff isn't pointless enough to taint the rest of the story.

    Very similar to the SAW movies, but this one concentrates on the dilemma of being held in small group captivity in a homicidal situation. This had the feeling of a play adapted to film, and most of the essence was in the dialogue. Unfortunately, the characters were unsophisticate...( read more)d, not fully developed, not very interesting, and not very likable. This is one of those movies with an ambiguous end, as the plot concept hinges on the dilemma of being held captive in an elaborate game by a murderer, rather than in the explanation for the circumstances. As such, I think it could have been more exploratory and deeper.

    Suspenseful, but if the ending was clearer, it would've been great. Acting wasn't bad but the mystery was a bit too predictable.

    Movie doesn't make much sence in the end but doesn't matter :P
