    Boring.

    An ok low budget horror/thriller. It has a young popular cast you will recognise from other things like Eddie Kaye Thomas from American Pie. It's a good story but similar to a few other films like April fools day. Just think it could have been done a little better.

    This is, quite possibly, the worst movie in existence. It fails on nearly every level imaginable. It looks like a second grader shot the movie, the direction was almost as bad as the acting and the plot/script was one of the worst i've ever come upon. The worst part is that I was...( read more) the one that chose to watch this, circa 3am.

    I decided to watch this movie as I had nothing else to do at the time and I actually got caught up watching this movie. Its about six young people who struggle with personal issues while they are staying at a large and luxurious mansion during a stormy night. A game of Taboo star...( read more)ts and all of them reveal their most private secrets and this leads to a dangerous game where murder happens. You could watch this movie if you got nothing else to do.

    This is one of those movies that I read the synopsis for on FearNet and started watching it thinking I hadn't seen it only to realize 40 minutes in that I have. I don't mean that in a snobby "this plotline is unoriginal kind of way" (even though it's true). I mean that in a "I'm ...( read more)a spaz and watch too many horror movies to keep them straight" kind of way. Anyway, I think they should've played Yahtzee or Guess Who? instead of Taboo. Nobody goes on a murderous rampage after playing Yahtzee or Guess Who?.

    TERRIBLE low budget attempt at mystery/suspense. Avoid.

    What. Was Katie Holmes and Tom Welling too busy?
    If you want to make a movie about promiscuous and depraved young adults, don't get the prettiest goody two shoes south of the north pole to portray them...
    Not that the story didn't suck enough though. This movie will make you du...( read more)mber!
