Too much of everything

... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreOK, so is there better out there? Course there is but, in the end, to me a movie (of any genre) needs to grip my attention and keep me 'interested'. While this is fairly on the same wavelength as'Attack the block' (which I loved too), I appreciate that is low budget and independently made and please keep up the good work!
... View MoreI've being working in the film industry for several years and this film doesn't look bad at all, especially considering the budget they claim to have spent. When it comes to horror movies, I think the two most crucial elements are the cinematography, the soundtrack. Actually, sometimes I prefer there to be no music at all but in this case it created a good 80's mood and the main theme got stuck in my head for a few days. The storyline is pretty decent. It's not genuinely creepy on it's own but together with the great cinematography and sound design it does a decent enough job to keep your interest and sell what your seeing unfold on screen. And it's safe to say that this is a very different take on your typical low-budget Halloween/horror movie. I'm not a really big fan of that British accent but the acting was more than decent in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of those guys on mainstream productions one day.
... View MoreIf you're looking for something which feels like it could happen to you - then this is the horror for you! Set in a shabby estate, where youngsters seem to be creating trouble, lies a group of strangers who are trying to teach a lesson. The story shows a true representation of teenagers in the UK, which for once shows the story through their eyes instead of their parents. Race is finally not a barrier and characters from diverse racial backgrounds interact without having to focus nor mention to race related issues; making it in my eyes a very positive forward thinking representation. Characters are well thought, multiple layered, with intricate relationships, which are brought to life by extremely compelling acting throughout, especially the main characters interpreted by Sarah Akokhia and Ethan Taylor.The story is terrifying and the end twist slightly sickening - definitely got me covering my eyes and gripping the seat numerous times.
... View MoreThis movie is an insult to the whole Horror genre.The idea of the whole movie was okay. There could have actually been an okay movie in this. But the script is absolute crap.What is even worse is the directing.I'm supposed to root for the characters, but I just wanted them all to die, so this movie could be over. And they're so dumb. One Person is connected with a zip-tie to a pipe. She manages to get a burning candle, and what does she do - Instead of burning the zip-tie at the side of the pipe, she burns the side where her Hand is.The third act is in one Location. And the supposed to be scary villains, put up pumpkins all over the place. That's not scary that's just stupid.Oh, and the heavy breathing all the time. It's just bad.And of course, we have that moment when she has the chance to pull away one of the masks of the killers. And she slowly, very slowly reaches for it. Everyone knows what's going to happen. Next time, just pull the mask off.Most of the acting is terrible. A better direction would have helped.The movie has some references to good movies, which isn't a bad thing. But they take something good and turn it into something terrible.The last act plays in one building, nothing bad about that fact. The "villains" weren't scary at any time. It was unintentionally funny and most of the time cringe-worthy. Even the intentionally funny moments were cringe-worthy.Sorry, but I can't think of anything good about this movie.I could go on about this movie for a while, but I hope you got an Impression how bad this movie is. Filmmakers, use that as an example how not to do it.
