Thrown naked into a desolate room with thirteen strangers, Tonya discovers that she is the final contestant in a deadly game. Restrained by lethal electronic collars, the players must utilize hints and tools from a box marked "pieces" to find both an exit and the reason for their abduction. One by one the players are eliminated as their "curfew" begins and the lights go out. With each dead body comes another clue, which they use to discover that one of them is the killer. The question is ... which one?

I'm not gonna say much. My title says it all. It has the idea of the old Kafkaesque scenario: the closed room, no basic information on the characters, no one knows how they got there, no one knows how to get out, classic sudden paranoia and a bit (not much) of claustrophobia. However, is not nearly as fun as other movies with the same concept like: Saw, Cube, Fermat's Room, Exam, etc. Poor acting, awful sound editing (you can barely hear what they are saying), the gore resembles old corny shootout movies and worst of all: The game is not even a bit interesting, no puzzles, no nothing. Thanks for attempting to make more of my favorite movie style, but it didn't turn out well. Just one thing, though: For starters, you shouldn't spoil the end of the movie in the cover picture. That's plain stupid.

First of all, and most importantly, there is no nudity in this movie. I don't know why they say "thrown naked" Maybe the producers are attempting to gain an audience for a low budget film, by saying that the girl on the cover is naked, that is misleading. The acting is fine, some better than others. The leads are pretty decent, which makes me wonder why they did this. Its The kind of movie actors & directors would do, for experience, and some extra cash. definitely wouldn't recommend it, but with a bigger budget, and more time spent on it, it would be more watchable. Probably was written, and shot over a long weekend, jumping on the bandwagon of so many other horror movies. Some moments are watchable, but again, not enough time is spent on character development, and you can tell that it was rushed, and thrown together.

Actually I got high expectations at first when I see the cover. But without any doubt, I can define this movie as a time waste. Especially if you had watched the saw series you will regret that you spend time on this. It has obviously a very similar script of saw, but the thing is that, it does not have a strong or sharp subject. Indeed even the climax was very "unsuprising". On the other hand at the end you think that the whole thing got an idea, I mean it must have some logic behind the events; but guess the guy who wrote this just wanna do some money by making films without any talent. Still it is unfortunate that he got that idea while watching Saw.. Wish the writer will come up with some original ideas...

I am not a big fan of horror movies, and nasty examples like "Breathing Room" are the main cause for it. For a non-magical horror movie to entertain me, it must, above everything else, have one thing: an intelligent and satisfying end. I don't say that the good guys have to win, but at least the movie should end in a fashion that shows me, that all the crimes committed were not only possible, but also have the bad guys a working plan on how to get away with all of their crimes, and that is something I completely miss in this movie. Following are my main points of criticism:[1] As I understood it, all the murders were committed while the white light was out and a soft red light was on (with the exception of the three to five seconds of the actual murders, during which it was pitch black, making it impossible to see anything not only for the victim, but also for the killer). That should not keep anybody from seeing what was done and who executed the deed, I mean, she would have to move towards her victim and be panting afterwards, if she really did run so fast (and often). The filmmakers tried to hide this fact behind a lot of camera-jiggling and -wobbling, which should imply that nobody saw clearly, but I found it plainly ridiculous.[2] What was her (and her cronies) motive? What did they gain from this carnage? This topic is never even touched once.[3] How did the killers meet? I refuse to believe that you just "find" a bunch of people who are willing to abduct and butcher completely innocent people by the dozen, or at least help the actual killer to do so.[4] How did they plan on disposing of the enormous amount of bodies?Apart from that, the acting was mostly average, and thus far from credible for an impossible situation like this.I gave this movie 1 star, because I really regard it as a shameful waste of my time. Don't believe me? Go waste 90 minutes of your own time.
