Funhouse

This movie tried to convey something. However, the stories used are meaningless and the characters in this movie are not representative enough. The director is ambitious but apparently he needs to dig more in humanity before he could tell an eloquent story. He wants to say that morden people are becoming coarse but this movie itself is coarse enough. Yes, the director succeeded but that success resulted in a rubbish movie. The only things I can remember are an uglified panda and so many children watching a bloody live stream.

This movie handles the idea of vapid celebrity culture and the TMZ style media coverage that follows, while playing out on the backdrop of a Saw style torture tournament. The outstanding issue is that the themes the film tries to comment on we have seen covered a hundred times in better, more subtle projects.

The damnation of meaningless celeb status is constantly waved in the audiences face which doesn't help the characters feel relatable, but perhaps thats the point? Non of these feelings are aided by the tepid script and questionable acting either, which led me into a sort of numb coma halfway through the film as I watched fictional instagram people being killed one by one and feeling nothing.

I recognise and respect that the film had a smaller budget and lesser known cast than most mainstream releases and aesthetically it was fairly pleasing and some scenes hit the mark and just about kept my interest afloat despite my often deflating attention. However I still ended the film feeling beaten down by the film's lacking apsects and especially the ending monologue delivered by the villain (AKA poundland moriarty) was so on the nose even Christopher 'headstone'Gerard would have been K.O'ed by it.

We get it, Instagram is bad, you didn't need to make a movie to tell us.

I keep reading reviews from people who didn't finish or watch most of the movie which is just dumb. I got through it. They were right to stop watching but don't leave reviews if you watched 5 minutes..

This movie features cliche characters , an unlikeable villain , poor effects and an ending that somehow makes it all so much worse. One of the worst endings I've seen in a horror movie in a long time . The worst thing I keep reading is that this is any universe near "Saw." I guess the same as "Sharknado" is as good as "Jaws." Just stop it !

This honestly reminds me of a worse version of the B-movie actual Saw rip off "Are you Scared?" So if you some how liked this movie ... maybe try that. This movie is just awful though.

I would have given this a high score if it wasn't for the atrocious acting. Luckily the worst actor died first.

An international cast of not-horrible actors. A seemingly thoughtful script with something to do with internet celebrity. A competitive reality show with real and inventive elimination challenges. The ending gets very twisty. It's got masked henchmen. And a villain rocking an Eldredge knot tie.

I was invested throughout.
