Powerful

Just what I expected

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

What makes these hoarded people so scary and deadly with wired-shut mouths? We keep seeing them hovering over victims, apparently eating them, and how so? And what happens when the hoarder runs out of rooms to keep each individual in? As for the opening, no one, especially a girl, would just stay put holding up a lighter in the dark while her friend goes back to turn the lights back on.

I viewed this film. BUT, it is called Bunker. Why would it be under a different name? Too many films named with word "bunker"? I found the film very slow, and seemingly done by a first time director, just getting his or her feet wet. The basic idea was OK, but not well directed. When the girlfriend was grabbed, the attacker was portrayed biting her neck, eating her, there was much blood. But later, the "animal" was revealed to have a stapled mouth. Just one of many mistakes.

"The Hoarder" is a smart horror film that gets A+ across the board; set design, plot, dialogue, and acting are all first class. Ella (Mischa Barton) and her edgy friend want to snoop in her fiancee's storage locker as she suspects him of cheating. The facility is attractive, modern, and well managed compelling the audience to embrace the movie then recoil in horror as the normality takes a horrible twist, a technique perfected by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, who directed movies such as "The Birds" and "Marnie. This is the best story line for any movie genre written in decades and casts a poor light on the 4.5 rating on the IMDb website.

Let's start with what I liked about the movie: 1. The filming quality was better than B-rated. 2. The ending didn't leave it up to the viewer to determine what happened. 3. Mischa Barton finally gets what's coming to her for destroying the OC (I liked that show when I was 13)Here's what I didn't like: 1. Robert Knepper deserved a better death. Constantly changing camera angles cheapens the experience. 2. The villain turns out to be a pudgy, out of shape guy with an obnoxious accent. Not sure how he managed to look chubby in a baggy shirt but he pulled it off. And somehow this love handle suffering fiend that looks to be suffering from muscular dystrophy is able to overpower EVERYONE, even to the point where apparently he holds a victim upside down by the feet. Even more impressive, considering the hilarious way that he runs, he's able to catch up to his prey even though they took an elevator that had more than enough time to climb 3 or more flights of stairs. But I could be wrong. He could just be a fat guy with an intense cardio routine. 3. For a storage facility that looks to be fairly new and technologically advanced, they have the most inconvenient lighting system. (You'll see what I mean if you watch)All in all, I didn't think it was completely dreadful but I wouldn't watch it again or ever recommend it to a friend.
