Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

GL84 After crashing their truck, friends decide to go look for help and come across a deserted house in the woods where they realize a series of medical experiments were conducted on a condemned serial killer that starts to affect their minds like him and must try to get out alive.This here actually wasn't all that bad and had some good parts to it. One of the better ones is the overall look of the house and its thrilling atmosphere from the rather creepy and eerie location used. Since most of the time is spent in the hallways of the underground facility, this one gets really creepy in the first half with its usually-darkened state, the rash of discoveries and long, winding design that generates some big, tense moments in here. The early discoveries are the best, as them relying on flashlights exploring the facility leading to a couple of tense passages within the film as they head down the darkened areas. From the grim discoveries left lying around in bloody pools to the scenes where they're going through the laboratory with all the equipment on display, there's enough here to make it feel really creepy. As well, there's also a really great story to keep this one feeling strong with all the strange medical experiment lying around the facility, their limited knowledge of what's going on and the mystery gradually becoming clearer the longer they're in danger about the study going on with him which is rather intriguing, all backed up with a couple of dead bodies and a fantastic revelation sequence, this one has a pretty strong back-story. There's also a rather disturbing back-story that involves tongues which scores points for both being bloody as well as being genuinely disturbing and scores the film's biggest shock scene. The last big part here that works is the gore, which comes from some rather tense stalking scenes here from their first encounter in the tunnel to the big confrontation inside his protective cell. These here are what hold the film up as this didn't have a lot of flaws, but they were pretty big. The first is that there's a great deal of selected stupidity in here that doesn't always work. Frankly, choosing to go into an uncharted house in the dark is a really unwise move, as is the film's tendency to have them remain instead of trying to get out, as once it's established that something is wrong the focus shifts away from trying to escape and becomes more about trying to understand the situation. That makes no sense, as the situation grows to concern the others about the situation in what quickly grows tiring, the fact that nearly everything in here, from top-secret military experiments to how to operate the machinery and much, much more in here's explained by one of the characters despite there being no knowledgeable instances before where there's evidence of that. As well, there are also some pacing issues which really keeps the kills all the back-half of the film rather than spaced out more evenly. Along with the film's somewhat convoluted story, which can get a little over-explained at times, there's not much else wrong here.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

David Roggenkamp A CIA experiment involved hooking a guy to several electrodes and pumping him full of chemicals; the end result? He can control other people telepathically when they become tired – he haunts them in their dreams. A few college students – as is typical with teen style horror movies – venture into a remote location and find this hidden area used for experiments. They enter this otherwise not-so-remarkable- building, and find a massive laboratory underneath. They get picked off one by one as they solve the mystery and the main villain himself enters the fray for his own ends and purposes. Does the movie have a sex scene? Yes and no; it also leads up tot he plot twist at the end which is also interesting. The movie is different and interesting, but doesn't really feel like it was worth the watch. Personally, I feel more could have been done with it.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=4832).

Elemyey This was a stupid and horrible movie filled with stupid people and horrible actors.I really tried to write a review, but the movie is such a waste of time that I really can't finish it. Don't see the movie, it's a POS. Tara Reid is one of the worst actresses I've ever witnessed, the script is so thin it's not even funny and the only character you'll have any kind of sympathy for is the "insane psycho murderer". Too bad it turned out to be such a train wreck, because the outlines were actually not that bad. WARNING: DO NOT WATCH.

FionaGoode I could not even get through this film. It had to be turned off. I tried to give Tara the benefit of the doubt since I had recently watched Devil's Pond and found it mildly enjoyable but this is just the worst film I have tried to watch in a long time. The acting and dialog are beyond corny and laughable.It's B-grade in terms of premise and execution.The concept of the film is so far-fetched its hard to even get into,I will venture to say its impossible to get into. Also, who ever dressed Tara in that see-through top needs to be exiled from working in film. The movie description makes you think you will see a nice Nightmare on Elm Street homage or something along those lines but trust me, you wont. the only horror about this film is the fact you have to pay to watch it. -the positive ratings here are obviously done by someone associated with the film, check their comment histories-
