Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

wmusiwa Whilst the plot was somewhat thought provoking the ending was very shallow and does not provide any moral to the story.

Finfy I really am a fan of the whole "people locked up in a room" scenario and I also enjoyed movies like the earlier SAW movies or Cube but this? This is so bad. Everything about this movie was boring, bad and unoriginal.In the first 10 minutes it is literally a man packing his bag and random people getting kidnapped who have no real character except for the stereotypical nonsense they sprout. We have the ugly, fat white pedophile and the lawful lawyer and none of the other characters work to ever surprise and show any kind of emotional reaction to their predicament. The plot twist was so obvious from the beginning that it was painful and the ending just sour.Everything about this is bad. The acting, the story, the plot, the twists even the score is not good and silly sound effects sometimes pop up randomly when the killer opens the door or other things happen.Avoid this movie at all costs if you want a movie with suspense or tension cause this movie is a bore I would not even watch to fall asleep to.

mariahnicolef5 SPOILER ALERT! 9 Dead was such a stupid movie! I knew within 20 minutes of the movie they were all there for taking away someones childhood. I even guessed that the killer wasn't lying about calling the cops for figuring it out. It's a shame Melissa Joan Heart was such a horrible actress in this as she is the only one I recognized in this film. The movie ends with her killing everyone when the whole time it may of been recorded so she left evidence that her character was obviously a bad person. The killer admits that they figured out what they all did to help get his son into prison and die and keeps his promise about calling the cops and letting them free if they were to figure this out. The plot starts with 9 people (Melissa) being one of them and he kills one person every ten minutes they don't come up with why they were all there. (Melissa) kills the last two including the killer then magically dodges from the cops as she tramps poorly away in her high heels as the credits begin. Sure the plot sounds pretty good on paper but the acting, direction of the suspense and camera shots were all terrible! I've never even been this upset before to write a review, let alone a negative one.

pwmartuneac This movie was actually a pretty decent film. Nine strangers who apparently are connected are locked in a room, each with one hand hand- cuffed to a pole, by a masked man who tells them that he will kill one of them every ten minutes until they figure out that connection. And the whole movie is the people revealing their deep, dark secrets and you see just how monstrous these seemingly nice people can be). You have some real tense moments, some frightening moments, and moments of pure confusion. You find yourself right along with these people, desperately trying to make the connection.SPOILER AHEAD. SPOILER AHEAD.However, the fun ends abruptly with literally less than five minutes to go in the movie. The three people who have survived figure our why they're there. As promised, the masked man has informed the police (who are now right outside the building), he will turn himself in, and the survivors are free to go. He hands the key to unlock their handcuffs to the lawyer lady (who, as you see throughout the movie, is the worst monster of them all) who, after freeing herself, kicks their kidnapper in the groin, takes his gun, and shoots him. She then murders the other two survivors, one of whom turns out to be the father of her child, because she doesn't want what she told them to leave that room or else her career would be over. This part makes no sense; she's already a dead woman walking as the masked man had revealed that they had been on camera and it had been streamed for the police. And then, as the police are closing in, she just simply walks out of the building. The last few seconds show her calmly walking down a hallway, taking a right turn, and then it cuts to the credits.This was by far the worst ending to any movie that I have ever even heard of. One, it makes no sense. And two, by this point you absolutely hate this woman and want her to reap the judgement she has sown for herself, but instead she gets away, leaving you with a bad taste in your mouth. They say that you are only as good as your last performance, that that is what you will be remembered for. The same principle applies here, in that the movie was only as good as its last scene, which was a miserable failure. That is why I give this movie 2 stars.
