Best movie of this year hands down!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Blistering performances.

This film had so much going for it... and, sorry to say, so much going against it.Here is your basic cabin in the wood on a lake horror yarn. A group of twenty-something friends decided to spend Independence Day together at a cabin one of their fathers has just bought. Unfortunately, something is wrong with the coke they've brought along and soon the madness begins.So what has the film got going for it... The Director, Jason William Lee, has a decent eye for composition and some of the camera shots are really nice and interesting. The opening credits are the Horror genre's version of a Bond movie opening sequence; this is both beautiful and disturbing - I loved it and it really piqued my curiosity for the rest of the film. I also really loved the lake section, filled with lens flare, haze, and colour defusing. Also, the simple distortions, which represented the druggies vision, worked well.The Story... Lee has come up with a secret organisation who are carrying out experiments on people they've kidnapped. This reminded me of Stephen King's clandestine "The Company" out of Firestarter. I do like a good conspiracy.The Characters... Though most are your stereotypical cast it was the end sequence that really sent a cold shiver down my spine. The Husband and Wife looking over their guineapigs - this scene is still in my mind; nice work Mr Lee.The Special Effects... Most are basic, and nothing new to write about, however, the girl on the bed is awesome. Just look at that chewed through left ankle... it's hanging on by a thread of flesh. Ouch!But then there are the faults... Though I liked most of Lee's shooting, the one thing which really did diminish the film for me, especially because it had been so good up to this point, the hunger-raving cannibals. It would have been nice to keep the ingenuity coming instead of just going for the mindless running about, growling, and biting. How much scarier would they be if they still had a rational mind? They could have become cunning instead of just single-mindedly fulfilling their baser urges. Also, the attacks and kills could have been choreographed better. Lee does a good job at structuring his shots, but here it just gets messy. A major let down.The Story & The Characters... in a lot of ways reminded me of Cabin Fever, it would have been good to create a couple of original characters instead of relying on the tried and tested. Though these are twenty-somethings, you could easily interchange them with any of the innumerable teens that usually end up in these situations. But hey, this is a horror film, so this is expected... to a degree... but it does wear thin. Also, did it have to take part in a secluded cabin on a hard to get to island... which, surprise surprise, has no cell reception... go figure!However, the good does outweigh the bad, though this could have been a horror movie to talk about. At least it's worth a watch, if only once. So I'd recommend this to fans of the mad professor and cannibals.

Opening scene has 2 corpses & 1 survivor in an apartment with much gore on show. The bulk of the movie then concerns a group of 20 somethings celebrating the 4th of July at a remote lakeside cabin (not exactly an original location). Anyway one of them goes crazy, sinking his teeth into one other, and soon we have something of a bloodbath until it comes down to the predictable Final Girl versus infected finale. In between all of this is a sub-plot about some experiment that is producing the same effects. * Spoiler Alert * Apparently it all comes down to what corrupt & ruthless politicians will do in order to gain power. Maybe it's not so far from the truth! Certainly not a great movie, neither is it a bad one but gore fans should enjoy it & the reason behind it all made sense in the end.

http://volteface.me/features/spice-real- problem-poverty/ This film is a modern horror film made on A moderate budget. What it has going for it itself is the satire on politics and the war on drugs. While the media boasts tales of cannabal krocodiles and right wing war mongering. This film tries to put this into a satirical documentary. Where it fails is in regards to the psychedelic experience particular in relation to Stamford prison experiment or mk ultra. But in a day and age where drug addicts are conveniently named zombies by the media this film takes some steps to laugh at this and even suggest there is more emotional depth to a pychotic drug user. Also the best question it raises is can politicians use psychedelic experience to focus on world domination and dictatorship.

I created an IMDb account immediately after watching this movie, just so I could post this review.This movie sucked. I knew it was going to suck after the first 10 seconds, but I watched it anyway. If you paid any amount of money to see this movie, I feel sorry for you. It's boring. The acting is bad, and the characters are even worse. Who wrote these characters? Am I supposed to like them? Sympathize with them? Root for their deaths because of how snobby/obnoxious they are? I felt none of these things. Instead, what I did feel was the urge to run far, far away from any movie that this director's name on it.28 Days Later is a great movie with a great soundtrack. It's pretty obvious that The Evil In Us was partly inspired by that movie, but it falls so flat on its face that it's honestly just an embarrassment.Everything looks and feels very cheap and hastily thrown together, from the cops' uniforms to the make-up effects. 90 minutes of pure drudgery. I thought maybe, MAYBE this movie would be a little self-aware because of the cliché setup, but I guess that's too much to ask for.Probably the worst part happens at the very end, when the director feels the need to hamfist his irrelevant political views into the movie. "Le ebil Republicans were behind it all XDDDDDD world domination, those greedy pigs just want control!" There's no payoff, no message, no interesting camera angles, no effects, nothing. There's nothing. This movie is nothing.
