Truly Dreadful Film

Absolutely amazing

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

In this review I'll try my best to leave spoilers out so other folks can see what I've seen and make up their own minds about this film. I can go ahead and say, however, that it's not the bloodfest that some reviewers have said it was. I found myself shouting at the screen a few times at husband Chad because he was a spineless abomination. You will end up asking yourself throughout the film, "What did this wife see in this jerk? Why'd she remain with him for so long?"Cinematography-wise, the movie was okay. In fact, I'm surprised it didn't find the audience it was looking for. It may have been low budget but it would've played well on the big screen. In a way, it's a poor man's "Hostel" or "Saw". It wasn't a total waste of time; the acting was on point and the right (horrific) atmosphere was created. I guess it's one of those films you take for what it is. Check it out anyway. Mileage may vary, though.

Despite the fact that the dialogue in the flashback scenes at the beginning of the movie was important to fully understand what was going on, it was confusing and hard to keep in mind. while I didn't see the surprise twist at the end coming, it failed to really shock me, because I had to watch this movie twice to fully understand the story by which time the intended effect had been lost. My advice for you is to try and remember the lines in flashbacks, especially the one in the beginning and one in the middle so that you can connect them with the lines in the final scene.This movie kept me at the edge of my seat, but it had potential to be way more thrilling than its current version. The stupidity of the husband at certain points was annoying; when you have a chance to finish off the killer, but you just stand there and do nothing. It probably was not out of place here, because it could be argued that it was used to emphasize his cowardice, which is a point brought up in the movie. The CGI used in the movie was not very good, but it wasn't terrible either. Had they spent a little bit more budget and lengthened the movie, it could've turned into one of the best horror movies ever, because even its current version was head and shoulders above most horror movies I get to see and as a horror movie fan, I do watch lots of horror movies. The acting was good and the movie looked like one with high production values. So while the movie had room for improvement, I'm going to give it an 8/10 and strongly recommend this title to horror movie fans, who do not shy away from watching torture scenes. They were few but very effective and truly disturbing.

After her jerk of a husband racks up a $25,000 debt with a couple of underground bookmakers, a pregnant woman has a visit in her kitchen from a stranger who holds a knife to her throat. She loses the baby shortly after it is born, and the two of them decide to relocate to another part of the country away from his creditors. Not content with this, and ignoring her advice, he continues to drive while clearly tired, and falls asleep at the wheel, crashing their car miles from anywhere, but of course there is an isolated house nearby, a farm house in this case, which is inhabited by a hospitable although somewhat strange individual, his wife and their deaf farm hand.They're being incommunicado, they are invited to stay the night. Clearly their host is a bit creepy, but it is not the sort of thing you can put your finger on, and what other option do they have? It is clear too from the beginning that this house is more "Hotel California" than "Little House On The Prairie", but what comes next?Their, or rather his, earlier misadventures are told in flashbacks, wherein we learn that the debt is actually much more than $25,000. There is it is true a spectacular twist at the end, one most people will not have seen coming, although there was a hint with the photographs on the wall, and the farmer's wife insisting on taking their photographs too. The real question is though, is it worth sitting through the preceding gratuitous sadism that most viewers will have foreseen, if not the actual quantum?

First things first and I have to say "WOW!" what a GREAT flick! At first glance this movie looks like your typical horror/torture movie but slowly it reveals itself to be much more than that.Throughout the movie you think you know what's going on as it gradually grabs you and tells the characters story through flashbacks. It all seems simple and predictable enough until you realized you were all wrong and the ending just blows you away.Love this movie!ZombieSteak.com - Discover a new world of horror films, designed just for you.
