Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

suite92 Four homeless art students squat in a supposedly abandoned London house.Things go well for a while. The windows and doors look covered with old boards, which should be no problem to break into. The place has been abandoned for a number of years, and not everything works right at first. They discover some old clothes with fresh blood on them. That does not seem to set off their sense of danger.The next morning, joy turns to despair quickly enough. The windows covered with boards had solid metal beneath the boards; the back door was the same. The front door, which Toby so carefully broke into and re-engineered the previous night, has been bolted down with solid metal. Toby's tool box has gone missing, as has every cell phone they had. They try to get the attention of the police outside who are looking over there 'borrowed' van. Hm. The cops cannot hear them.The captor gasses them, then takes Toby away. The rest look for him, but have little success at first. Their captor ties up Zoe as well, then the torture segment starts.Luke and Molly think they have the drop on their captor. They end up killing Toby instead. Then the captor gasses them. He saws off Zoe's lower legs, then turns his attention to Luke and Molly.Molly manages to get free, and strikes her captor with an iron rod, but only once. She leaves that to chance. Molly finds what is left of Luke, then tries to find an exit, now that she has a set of keys. She also finds the captor's back-story which tells partially why he keeps repeating all the torture.Does Molly make it out alive?-----Scores------Cinematography: 10/10 Love the 2.35 aspect ratio. This picture starts out beautifully on the visuals, and continues that way.Sound: 10/10 Creepy, good tracks, well chosen and recorded.Acting: 5/10 Could have been a lot better.Screenplay: 8/10 Tells a story, and does it fairly well.

ravenheart94 The movie starts out with a news report about an unsolved case of a missing little girl who disappeared many years ago. A bunch of grungy, homeless art students in England decide to take refuge in a (seemingly) abandoned house at night. They discover scratch marks (indicating a past escape attempt) and bloodstained clothes. Yet they still choose to stay in the house.Smart move. They wake up the next day with all the windows boarded up and barred with steel. They come across a key & hidden holes in the wall.Main victims/deaths. I don't remember their names so I just gave them nicknames: Grungemaster (gets his eye cut out and is unintentionally beaten to death by BKS and SBG),British equivalent of Kristen Stewart (ends up being the last girl and cannibalized), Bitchy Grunge Chick (gets her legs sawed off), and sniveling blonde guy with bad teeth (gets his hand cutoff).Long story short, the house is secretly inhabited by this creepy old guy. Creepy Old Guy has a lot of medical equipment which he uses to torture, kill, and dismembers people for random body parts.(The motives behind this are hard to get and all the audience is given is that it has something to do with his father's experience as a soldier in WW2.) One by one everyone suffers some kind of torture and dies. The "last girl" out of the cast who was close to making an escape is eventually dragged by Creepy Old Guy into a dark, dingy room. A feral-looking young woman lurks in the corner, who then crawls over in an animalistic manner, and (it's implied) eats her alive. The shocking twist DUNDUNDUN is that the cannibal girl is the same one who was kidnapped and presumed dead for years, and that she was the one who had left the keys/tools for future captives to try and escape. I wasn't expecting a whole lot since this is a horror movie, but they could have tried harder. It's very low budget and the acting isn't very good. This could have been a little better if they put as much effort into the story, production, and the acting as they did into the "shock" factor.

Sugandh Mishra Same old concept and story with new name, a doctor killing everyone, cutting leg, hands etc. for no reason. In the starting i thought it might be good movie to watch as it had 4.5 rating on IMDb, so i decided to watch. As the movie moves a bit it started getting dull and lazy. Throughout the movie i was expecting that may be now it will take a good turn or surprise me with some good effects, but i suddenly discovered that the movie ended. You can say a very bad remake of Autopsy. Acting is fine, i give 4 out of 10. Direction is so so, i give 2.5 out of 10. Story is ------, so i give 1 out of 10. Please stay away from it. I don't even wanted to give 1 to this movie. The worst part of the movie is its ending. Watch it only if you had nothing to do, and you got no other option of entertainment.

amesmonde Four London Art Students squat in a derelict house to save money with the intention to live-free in a meaningful, creative and partying student lifestyle environment. However, they find themselves trapped inside a large house and their unlawful entry may come at a price, possibly their lives.Daniel Simpson's director / writer feature film debut is an exciting offering of a well-crafted film with an effective and expensive looking production design. The lighting is excellent, creating a dark and ominous atmosphere in the confinement of the empty building. He throws in enough camera angles, movement and cuts though-out to prevent events ever becoming static.Spiderhole begins customary enough with a carefree student Molly having a check-up at the doctors on a sunny London's day, but once she meets her three friends to go on a squatting adventure of free spirited living things take a turn for the worse and it becomes a claustrophobic nightmare.Simpson sets-up the perfect intro for a haunted house thriller, shadowy corridors, locked doors, complete with bangs and bumps. You almost feel you're in for a rework of 1962 The Haunting. Nevertheless, as the supernatural element is dispensed with and the 'torture porn' element begins with plenty of blood, mind-games and grime to get Saw-esque fans jumping in their seats. Executed with some excellent practical and realistic looking effects and blood.Although the characters are thrust into the horror very quickly the Brit slang dialogue is naturalistic enough to keep the tension on track. George Maguire's performance as the edgy sculpture lover is notable and Molly character is written logically and cleverer than most heroines of this genre and is wonderfully played by Emma Griffiths Malin. Both Amy Noble and Reuben-Henry Biggs are more than adequate in the supporting roles and a nod goes to John Regan's subtle performance as The Captor.Jason Cooper & Oliver Krauss score and the sound design is pounding, nauseating which fittingly adds to the on screen action, touching nerves and senses, evocative of the feelings stirred by Marco Beltrami & Marilyn Manson's RE (2002) score.Some plot and style elements are reminiscent of Creep, The Collector, Severance, REC, Catacombs, Hostel and Saw 2 to name a few, however, there's enough originality, mystery, twists and a surprise ending to satisfy the casual horror viewer. Overall, if you enjoy blood, torture and captivity Spiderhole is made for you.
