  The only scary parts was when Sam Walczak (Mischa Barton) got lost in dark on 8th floor and hearing voices. But other than that, this wasn't that much scary. The starting was great enough to make you want to watch the rest. I don't know whether it's me that thinks Mischa's acting was so-so in this movie. The story was okay. Not a waste of time but not that great either.

  Based on a bestselling French novel apparently. I have to say I was disappointed with this. It sounded like a great setting for a horror film with a good back story. However it just slowly plods on to the conclusion, some of the dialogue was pretty bad I have to add. Not sure how Mischa Barton got talked into this.

  It is such a shame directors are running out of Ideas.

Overall, not bad but just not good enough to warrant a whole-hearted recommendation.

  Not too terrible. For the most part though, it's a 1.5 hour Mischa Barton strip tease.

  This is a Psycho Thriller, and Gilles Paquet Brenner the Director posses the thoughts of a Modern Era Alfred Hitchcock, you see it thought the movie. I enjoyed this Anchor Bay Movie. Cameron Bright plays the part he plays best after all he posses the eye's and the look, any of you who have this know what I am talking about. Misha Barton plays the part of the supervisor who is to demolition of the mysterious Malestrazza Building. The Builder Malestrazza entombed people in this building. The opening scene where a little girl is entombed in cement is enough to keep you glued to your seat. (1 Minutes of Suspense. Enjoy it and add it to your collection, Oh yea 5 Stars for sure.

  A very awesome horror flick with good scares and blood throughout. Also a very good story.

  In the opening sequence we witness a small child trapped between four walls, screaming her lungs out whilst cement slowly fills up her concrete grave. Fast forward 15 years later to Sam Walczak (Mischa Barton) who is a freshly graduated engineer and the heiress of her family's demolition company. Her father offers her the opportunity to be in charge of her very own project: organizing and supervising the demolition of a remote and sinister apartment building, originally designed by the notoriously eccentric architect Joseph Malestrazza. (Pascal Greggory) Upon arriving there she finds that the massive concrete crypt is not entirely empty. Caretaker Mary (Deborah Kara Unger), her teenage son Jimmy (Cameron Bright) and two others are still living there although they've received eviction notices. Mary lodges Sam in apartment 208 that is furnished since the former dwellers have never collected the furniture. Sam is haunted during the nights by ghostly noises, halls that are lined with secrets and upon investigation comes to the horrifying realization that the location may very well be haunted by the past inhabitants who were entombed within its walls. (The building itself is riddled with hidden passageways, labyrinths, doorways that lead to bricks and mortar, and has windows you definitely don't want to open.) Based on the best-selling French novel Les Emmurés by Serge Brussolo, the movie starts off really great but then gets absurd, disjointed, bland and predictable plodding along to an ending that is so incredibly dumb you have to see it to believe it.

  I was intrigued by the description and was not disappointed, this is a good movie and is worth a watch. It is a thriller that gets your attention and holds it. Give it a watch and see what you think.

  When a woman who just got done with engineering school takes a job with the family company her first job is to go to a very old building out in the middle of nowhere and get it ready to be destroyed once she shows up there she gets to meet first hand the handful of weird people still living inside when she starts hearing noises she decides to look up the buildings past and turns out it was the series of gruesome murders where the killer trapped them inside the wall of the building now she must turn the tables on this killer that still appears to be around before she ends up a victim herself. i found the story in this movie to be really good the acting was just ok though and the small twist and payoff at the end wasnt that bad worth a watch.

  An engineering graduate supervising the demolition of a mysterious building unearths some unsettling secrets about the pristine building and its previous inhabitants in this dark psychological thriller starring Mischa Barton. Adapted from Serge Brussolo's graphic novel of the same name, Walled In follows engineer Sam Walczak (Barton) as she ventures deep into the countryside, where the monolithic Malestrazza Building is being prepared for demolition. Constructed by an obsessed architect, the Malestrazza Building has a chilling history. Many of the previous inhabitants were entombed alive in the massive structure, and the deeper Sam digs into the life details of the eccentric architect who designed it, the more convinced she becomes that she will be the final victim in its evil legacy. Perhaps by confronting her own past, Sam can escape the curse and somehow find a way to start a new life. I was thrilled on the first hour movie, but when little jimmy tricked Sam, the movie simply became meaningless and with a forced story... I can't understand why it is an horror movie, instead of a psycho thriller! There's no scary images...there's only expectations. The movie idea was great, but the director could have use it better. It is senseless the fact that we know everything (the "heart" of the story) on the first 5 minutes of film, and the rest is like a soap opera. Why did the directors hide the fact that people died between the walls? They could just give clues...and the movie could role around much better but no...they said everything at the beginning... I won't go into the details of the end of the film partly because I don't want to ruin it for you but mostly because it's so dumb that I don't want to bother spending my time explaining it. It is not a bad movie, either a good one, I think you should see it for your self. <a href="http://s420.photobucket.com/albums/pp286/ladypink_2009/?action=view&current=walledinpost1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp286/ladypink_2009/walledinpost1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
