    I was going to be nice and give this a two, but when I didn't remember a damn thing about this movie and I just saw it the night before, well that's under-2-worthy.

    Actually now that I recall more, some of the gore is not so bad and is a bit fun. Still nothing here you haven't s...( read more)een 50 times before 50 better ways in 500 other movies.

    Not mediocre enough to enter the cheese realm, and yeah, there is nothing else to say about this forgettable waste receipt.

    I thought it tried to be like Saw but failed to deliver that threatening impact of Jigsaw. The characters were not interesting, you wouldn't feel anything if they died in the movie. Even the death scenes were recycled. Another waste of time.

    This entertaining horror/thriller flix has some similarities with ¨SAW¨. The running time is somewhat short at about 76 minutes but the film makes up for that with its fast pacing.
    The acting, direction dialogue, visual and audio are fair and competent. There are some well-d...( read more)one gore scenes and a couple of twist here and there.

    Would you kill your friends to save yourself? That's the question the psychopath in this film wants to find out. He has just been released from an asylum where he had been sent after being out climbing with friends. An accident happened and he had to choose to cut his friends ...( read more)loose so they would fall to their deaths or fall with them. He was obviously released a bit too early...

    A group of friends, celebrating graduation, go off to a secluded holiday home and things are going fine until one of them ends up stabbed to death and thrown though a window as a literal wake-up call to the others. He has left them video footage showing how he gave the girl the option of staying alive, if she would shoot her sleeping boyfriend. He tells them that they have three hours. If only one of them is left alive, they will be allowed to leave. If more than one is alive, they will all be killed.

    This is a horror film, of course, so instead of all sticking together and trying to outwit or overpower the killer when he comes to check in three hours, they all start turning on each other. Pretty soon, they are finding any excuse to kill or abandon one another to their fate.

    I would say this is a slasher film, although not a typical one because the 'killer' is not the person doing the killing (apart from the first victim). Unlike many recent films, this isn't PG-13, it's R rated and it has a fair amount of gore, a little bit of nudity and a lot of swearing. It also stars Agnes Bruckner (Vacancy 2, Blood & Chocolate, The Woods etc) so I spent most of the film thinking 'Doesn't she look a lot like Melissa George there?'

    This will not be winning any awards, it isn't stunningly original (it feels like they 'borrowed' the 'What would you be prepared to do?' idea from the Saw franchise) and it gets a bit silly at times but I would still recommend it. There are better films out there but If you take all those things into consideration, you won't be too disappointed and you won't feel like you have just wasted 90 minutes of your life.

    Interesting horror movie,also predictable & cliche.

    Average slasher flick with a slightly more interesting than usual slasher flick plot. A bit more realism and a bit less overacting would've helped immensely.

    Its almost ridiculous how many of these kind of movies there are out there. But they are usually always enjoyable if they are fairly well made. This one happens to be one of those horror / thriller flicks and it contains the usual stuff , violence , gore and nudity. Worth seeing ...( read more)for us that never gets tired of these flicks..
