Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

One of the best films i have seen

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This little project was better than what I thought it would be. When I saw the trailer, I knew they dumped all good stuff into the trailers to hook...so I said, okay, I'll give it a shot.First of all let me say that this film will not be for everyone - of course, all films are, but when it come to something that was done on a SUPER LOW budget and pulled off what they did, I was impressed. It's a simple straight forward story - 3 different groups get trapped in a storage building, and are hunted by an unknown supernatural creature. There are a few small side characters (victims to be butchered), but for the most parts it's the three major groups. The movie tries to start off with a non-linear twist to the story lines - don't know if this was a successful attempt, but after a kinda slow beginning, it picks up, the lights shut off, chaos, people die, not really as bad as I thought.

It's hard to overstate how gut-wrenchingly incompetent this film is. It looks like the final project of a student at an unaccredited film school. Specifically, a student who sat dozing in the back of the classroom while zonked out on cough syrup.The film is about a demon haunted storage facility. The story lines of three groups of characters exploring the place are not so much intertwined as put in a bucket and mashed together with a toilet plunger, creating a confusing mess whose only positive outcome is to obscure the film's insipid plot. As the victims are picked off by the POV monster (fortunately never seen) we're treated to endless repeats of the last scene of "Rec", which might make for an interesting drinking game, but only if Thorazine were used instead of alcohol.The main group of characters appear to be three hapless college age kids (Stringy Hair, Mr. Eyebrows and The Girl) who go on a treasure hunt in the aforementioned storage building. Their story is inter-cut with the two other groups, a widower and his dude-bro friend and a pair of women who (bewilderingly) resemble a young Melissa Etheridge and Cher. All three groups wander through poorly titled scenes edited by an old copy of Windows Movie Maker until the POV monster shows up to end their misery.All-in-all, this is the kind of movie I would have made if I'd been a 16 year old death-metal fan with a serious head wound. Maybe the guys at Rifftrax could do something with it, but I doubt that even they could make this train wreck entertaining.

Not a horror flick guy but checked out The 13th Unit after coming across it online. Surprisingly good camera work and acting given my expectations for a low budget film. Story line was cheesy but interesting enough to keep me going. This film gave me some weird dreams after watching it in the dark before going to bed. Probably the reason I don't normally watch horror movies. That and horror films are all cheesy to me. If you need to shut the mind off for a few hours and feel like your somewhere else, check out this flick. Just be forewarned you might want to leave the light on while found so.

It's kind of a very low budget cross between (rec) and the Friday the 13th Jason movies, except there is absolutely no suspense. For the first half of the movie, between flashbacks showing why they are there, various people in the storage facility get suddenly killed by some shadowy, unseen gnarling demon thing, which has been unleashed by some thrill seeking relic hunting grad students who go there to find some museum relic (one of whom may have performed a ritual with it to let the demon out- but all the flashbacks (time-stamped) are so all over the time-line its hard to tell). There are about 5 or 6 parallel stories, all with their own flashbacks, so you might want to make a chart. Then some people discover bodies, and other ranting people, but except for one woman, no one really gets any idea they are in deadly demon danger for at least the first two thirds of the movie. No one really gets chased- they just peek into lockers, get dragged in and die. I stopped watching at that point. There might have been some semblance of a decent low budget movie premise here in someones mind at some point, but it was either lost on the editing room floor, or, more likely, was a very bad script and a director who has no grasp of suspense or drama. I suspect the local high school A/V club could collaborate and write something as good or better in terms of a horror script/storyboard.
