Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Joshua Jackson This movie is one of my personal favs. for a third date. the girl is so unnerved by the movie she wants for me to stay so she is not alone. the raw hand hand-held cam shots help. and the fact that they give no back story to the family of the robbers makes it so much more creepy, they're your family, getting raped and murdered in front of your eyes. but this is a movie you need to rent first. It is not for everyone. but I love it. If it can make me lock my door, It should make anyone. I don't get creeped out at movies, but this one does. It hits you at home, were your sister sleeps, were your mother sleeps, It finds that raw nerve and and keeps drilling it. don't watch this movie expecting blood and guts this is the wrong movie. watch this for a primal fear that you can't escape. I watched this movie 3 years ago and still think about it a lot. the acting is good.

sccrwsmr Mg, i cant explain how good this movie is.... while it may not be perfect, it makes up for it in ways....*spoilers* the movie starts off on a happy way, everyones sleeping cep't the son, And there's cheery music playing, then, then the chaos begins, I am only 14 and i have watched this movie, which with average 14 year olds can be a bit, ehhh... mainly because it is very violent, I'm talking, skull bashings ,eye stabbings, rape, and there's even a bit of pedophile mixed in.Now don't get me wrong this isn't a gore filled massacre but, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone who cant watch a Friday the 13th movie.The dialog/acting is pretty good in this movie considering it is a low-budget movie. i was really surprised by the girl who plays Lori Beth she is very convincible, which adds to the chill. also the main thug is very frightening, mainly cuz he is so vulgar.If u like low budget movies and u want to be scared...RENT THIS but if ur expecting a gore fest rent- something else.

ep.com Damn, this movie is so poorly made and so cheap, it loses all potential impact it could have had. Performances may be good all around, but nobody involved is able to save this turkey. Lot's of violence, but surprisingly little blood. Wes Craven's "Last House on the Left" started it all 30 years ago and the world has seen LOTS of bad Rip-Offs, but I seriously think this one is the worst. Better watch the original, of which I always tought of as a pretty good movie...

Rich-307 If I Die Before I wake is a reletively short but effective horror movie that follows a family held hostage by burglars. We know little about the characters, but all play a very important role in the film. The film opens with brief shots of the family. Parents sleeping in one room. Teenage son Ben working at his computer in his room. The two sisters asleep in thier room. This is all we know of the characters when the burglars break down the door to the house. Lori Beth, the oldest sister. She hears the burglars enter and hides little sister Mary. Ben, listening to music over his headphones is quickly captured. He is heard yelling and seen being carried by to of the three burglars into his parent's room where they too are taken hostage. Lori Beth tried to escape but can't. After telling her sister to remain hidden, she sneaks into Ben's room and grabs one of his baseball bats as a weapon. She sees her family through the open door. Mom and Dad sitting on their bed hands tied behind their backs. Ben is laying on the floor also tied up. The burglars save a great deal of their fury for Ben. The rather big kid is beaten and kicked several times before he is gagged. The father, too is briefly gagged. From this point on, the movie is very violent. Lori Beth trails the burglars through the house until the end. The story is very good, but the excessive and constant violence and fouls language seems to spoil certain aspects of the film. All of the actors do a very good job in their roles. If you can take the violence, you will enjoy this movie.
