Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

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.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

wes-connors During a snowstorm, dimpled David Nicolle (as Pete MacGregor) drives to an old Scottish mansion. Just before the credits, we see his romantic interest, dark-haired Amelia Warner (as Laura), in a desperate moment. She is running around with a bloody knife; this is from a scene appearing later... Back to the present, nine friends settle in for the 21st birthday party given by their celebrated host, Patrick Kennedy (as Tim). He is Mr. Nicolle's former college roommate. Other friends from school include pre-med student Ben Peyton (as Andy) and spectacled James Schlesinger (as Damien). In case you're wondering, Mr. Schlesinger wears contact lenses in the early scenes and puts on his glasses when he gets ready for bed. Long-haired Vivienne Harvey (as Lucy) is there, with beautiful blonde ex-roommate Rosie Fellner (as Emma) and American sexpot Paris Hilton (as Jo)...Although Ms. Hilton is heralded as the "star" of this film, she is one of the least important characters and does not take up very much screen time. Her boyfriend, blond bearded Lex Shrapnel (as Tom), gets the party started when he spies a ghastly image in the bathroom mirror. Yes, the house turns out to be haunted. Proving herself to be the smartest knife in the drawer, Ms. Warner figures things out quicker than most. There is nothing extraordinary about "Nine Lives", but Nicolle and Warner are likable in the leading roles and director Andrew Green works well with the cast and setting. He is especially good with photographer Robin Vidgeon on shadowy stairways, particularly when they follow "Pete" and "Damien" around the house.****** Nine Lives (8/26/02) Andrew Green ~ David Nicolle, Amelia Warner, Ben Peyton, James Schlesinger

tropicalia656 Im a huge fan of Paris Hilton. So I saw this on TV and recorded it. It starts out with about 8 wealthy British twenty somethings who go to a beautiful country house in Scotland. Its hysterical because Paris Hilton is a peacock among the pigeons, she walks into the house in a hot pink track suit. Everyone else is wearing muted shades of brown. She is tan, they are pale, she is blonde, they are brunette. I love how she talks, its basically like she is playing herself, but Paris is a personality so its cool. Personally I love how she plays the character Jo, a rich international jet set type. She talks to her boyfriend in a way thats actually realistic, she says, "First you never buy me any presents and now you don't even want to go away with me?" He buys her some kind of early cell phone, planner type gadget that cost 800 but it really cost 600. She says, "Its the only gift I've ever gotten from you and Im going to keep it. Cheap Skate!" Its hilarious, then she sashays around, everywhere she walks she struts like a model and she is just so damn beautiful. In another scene she slips into a girl room and tells her she looks fabulous, "Where were you last weekend?" Paris replies, "I totally forgot I went skiing." Then she gives her a gift and damns what the Swiss were wearing. In another scene she struts in to a girls room to borrow the bath. Every scene she does, she steals the spotlight. Her performance might not be A+ to most people but I loved it. Its funny and she plays the role well. The movie is not so good after the first 30 minutes, because at that 30 minutes mark Paris dies. So if your a Paris fan, and I mean she looks amazing, then watch this movie. Its not bad as horror films go, sure its low budget and cheesy but no one sucks. Overall a great little 85 minute movie. Enjoy!!!

bobwildhorror I had no delusions going into this. Before I'd read a single review here, I knew Paris Hilton couldn't act. And she certainly didn't disappoint me.But this picture has much bigger problems than her. In trying to meld TEN LITTLE INDIANS with EVIL DEAD, they've managed to dredge up every cliché possible. The result often plays like a TV movie. In fact, aside from a little blood here and there it played like a Movie of the Week.Great castle. Most of the actors (save Hilton) were not so bad. Passable lighting.But where's the originality? Any originality...

partingtonred If you like your movies with no plot, a very weak story and acting so poor is it's like being back in drama lessons at school then watch this.None of the characters are enjoyable and you just everybody to be killed off in the first 1/4 of an hour, just to put you out of your misery.Farmers shovel this on the land to make things grow and this film is that shovelling substance.The best thing about this DVD is that it prevents you from getting coffee stains on your living room table.
