Foreclosed

There is worse out there than 4Closed and it is not quite as terrible as what the first reviewer says, but that is not to say much in 4Closed's favour, because there was some potential there that wasn't explored very well. Malee Matlin and James Denton are decent, there are moments of creepy atmosphere and 4Closed also knows what it wants to be and what it wants to do, and doesn't try to go beyond that. Unfortunately that was also a shortcoming, in doing that everything becomes very simplistic and without that much soul. The actors do make an effort, though Christine DeRosa's acting was rather forced and Jamie Kennedy doesn't really convince as a psychopathic creep(not charismatic enough and in a way too nice, also comedy villain quality sometimes), but are ill-served by the lack of tension and suspense in the atmosphere and script, half-baked characters and a complete lack of surprises. Not to mention a story so painfully obvious and when it is devoid of the above things the whole movie just feels flabby. The look of the movie is unappealing, not quite amateurish but rather drab and hurried-looking. For the type of movie 4Closed it's somewhat appropriate but when there's very little interesting elsewhere, it just doesn't appeal. Audibly there's no better news, it's generic in scoring and the sound has a tendency to be muddied. All in all, could have been much more, a few redeeming qualities here and there, but generally it's unexciting, predictable, underwritten, simplistic and largely underwhelming in atmosphere, and just fails to entertain really. 3/10 Bethany Cox

usually all TV movies will be crap. But not this one. Watched it without any expectations. but a little prejudice was there. thought it would be a wastage of time. but it was not. you can suggest this movie to your Friends also. It is an average movie. But when considering TV movies, it is better. I have to agree on one thing. They could have done much better. it was such a thriller story. if they have tried, it could be a hit. There was much more scope for some creative scenes horrific moves. the crew didn't tried it. One thing I didn't like is the villain appearance. They should have taken care of his costume in a better way. The current appearance is not much weird. If he was much more weird..... Oh man.... It could be an awesome movie.

The actors really "faked' it through out the movie. Movie very predictable. Awful acting! Don't know what happen to Marlee Marlin this was not the role for her; her acting was not so good in this movie. The movie was not real convincing. I liked the concept but some of the scenes were ridicules and horrible. The writers made all the actors have lack of knowledge or intelligence and made the actors have no common sense. Low budget movie with seasoned actors. I gather because it's low budget the actors had to act low budget.

Predictable movie. Very very boring. Waste of time.

It was refreshing to have a movie from The Asylum that was an original movie, and not just a lower budgeted version of a forthcoming blockbuster - as they tend to do.

I will admit when I saw it said The Asylum on the screen as the first thing, I was about to already give up on the movie before it had even started. But I decided to let it run anyway, and good thing that I did, because "4Closed" turned out to actually be rather enjoyable.

The story is about a family that makes a purchased on a foreclosed house from the bank that seems too good to be true. Upon the day of their great move, it turns out that the former owner of the house is still living there and refuse to give up on his home. With the police on their side, the family have the guy evicted and they can move into their new dream house. But the former owner is going to let his property find its way to other hands without a fight.

The movie stated that it was based on true events, of that I am not sure just how much was based on the story or how accurate it was, because I am not familiar with a story such as this having happened for real.

The Asylum had upped their game and brought a good ensemble of acting talents to the movie; Marlee Matlin and James Denton did have good chemistry together. It was a shame that Paul Sorvino didn't have a bigger role than he had. I was somewhat skeptic about Jamie Kennedy in the role of the crazed home owner, but he actually pulled it off quite nicely, and this is a good step away from the usual comedy stuff that he has to his name.

There is a good pace to the storyline and the movie does keep building up tension. So thumbs up to director Nick Lyon for this.

"4Closed" is a good movie that is entertaining and does have an interesting story. Definitely a bright moment for The Asylum here.
