Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Another one on Horror Channel in the wee hours.It's very cheap, and the first few minutes went a bit soft-porny, but it was more entertaining than some bigger budget US horror of late.The 'hero' is likable enough (aside from being a perve) and I dug that he's the world weary, a bit dumb, loser type - a la Shaun. I did find myself rooting for him, and the voice of the girl trapped in another stall was a clever touch. That said, I did spend most of my time wondering if she was a figment induced by stress up until she chucks him an E. On that subject, the 'rave' sequence was very sweet and reminded me of Tyres from 'Spaced' who bursts into dance at traffic lights and any other repetitive noise. I wonder if that was a wee nod to Simon Pegg?The ending was a giggle (but the post credit sequence was pointless and irritating) and overall, it's good for a pretty much zero budget piece. Also, having worked in big offices full of dreadful people, it sums up the nightmare of Christmas work parties.

I got this film on DVD late at night thinking it would be a fun knock off of Shaun of the Dead. Even the cover suggests it. But it is not. It is a terrible movie from the first frame. Maybe when they shot it there wasn't enough light so they had to compensate during the editing, or maybe they were going for a contrastless, desaturated look but didn't know how to do it. I don't know. But it's just painful to look at.I watched Transformers: Dark of the Moon the same day as this and I thought that was misogynistic. It is, but it's nothing compared to this. It's less than 5 mins into the film where two minor female characters in skimpy clothing are kissing each other for the very smallest of plot reasons. This film hates women and puts them into two boring tropes. 1. They are thin and shallow. 2. They are fat.That said, don't get the impression that the male characters are well written. They are barely written. It feels like a film school script where sometimes A leads to B which leads to C in an unemotional, functional way and other times it just gets lost.The screenwriter decided that he was the best person for the main role of this film. It's interesting to see him struggle to deliver lines that he wrote. I think putting the dialogue into a speech simulation program would lead to a better performance.A terrible, terrible movie with nothing going for it. The comedy is slow and painful, the gore is boring, the plot is full of holes and is so shallow it's not even enough to fill the 75 minute run time. Do not watch. Not even on a bad film night.

First off let me say I did not finish the movie. I am the curious type, yet I am in no way even thinking about watching this movie again. There is no way that it could revive itself, any entertainment value dies off quickly and is buried by horrible acting. Don't waste your time, this is not a ploy. Don't think, "If it is that bad I have to watch it." NO!!! It is worse than that, worse than you can imagine. I do not know how it has 5 stars. there really isn't anything else that I need to say, but IMDb makes me write 10 lines. If curiosity just takes over and you must experience it for yourself, don't bother with the whole movie (I almost typed film, which it isn't). Watch just enough to know just how horrible it is, then tell all your friends. The only enjoyment this movie brought to my life was trying to explain how incredibly awful it was to someone else...

Stalled fails to be anything but another un-entertaining horror zombie flick...with the bore factor. Most of the movie takes place inside a woman's stall, where one man is trapped inside there, in survival mode, because a bunch of zombies are trying to attack him. His weapons are limited. I mean, after all, he is a janitor. I never heard of a janitor that walks into a woman's john without any cleaning supplies. Maybe a mop? You could have used that as a weapon, but instead, you decide to go in there without anything but the shirt and pants on your body. Oh. The pants. Minus the pants. I think one of the zombie chicks pulled them off of him, oh, erotic stuff...too bad it didn't get him anywhere, but then again, it probably wouldn't have gotten him anywhere if she was alive, either. I mean, it's a woman's restroom, it's not exactly a motel room. Because this movie literally spends 84 minutes near the toilet, you're left hoping that one of the dead people left over from this Christmas Eve party gone wrong just...rips his head off, just so the stupid movie ends. I mean, he's got a phone, did you try calling 911? Get some help, moron! Unfortunately for "Stalled", there is absolutely no help saving his from being anything more then a needless, blood soaked horror flick. Sad news is...I don't think were done with all these zombie movies. I regret to tell you that the 80's has made its comeback. ( Go away, already! )
