Some of the worst acting, scripting and camera work I've seen in a long time. Special effects that really aren't special.

If this is what people are watching then I should take up acting.

Anyone who is rating this movie highly is either involved in it or being paid and straight up lying.

Not well made at all, poor in every way imaginable. I wish I did not watch this, this has all been done before just way better.. A little research to find that this is a film that was obviously funded through indiegogo, because no one who is legitimate in the industry would give their money to this production company Mahal Empire. Horrible.

All i can say is now we know why there's a teacher shortage. 🤷‍♀️

Really though they call this acting? Best line was "he'd say three times two times nothing" or something like that. The "cops" are actually probably somewhat like the real cops in how they are on the job, though.

This movie is the most modern cheesy movie Ive seen. Didn't know stuff this bad passed the level of student film anymore.

Seriously, its like none of the actors have ever been in pain before. They severely underact with regards to being injured. I have nothing else to say other than watch this if you want a good ol' 21st century chuckle.

Abysmal. This film makes Nine Dead (2010) look like an absolute masterpiece. Easily the worst of the chained up in a room films. No story at all and incredibly cheap. The villain looks like he walked in from Land Of Doom (1986). Upon seeing his getup, I was convinced this might be a parody of sorts. Nope. If you are a fan of Michael Madsen...you may be disappointed. Madsen exhibits a stellar example of "phoning it in" that doesn't even qualify as acting. His paycheck was likely the biggest part of the budget and not money well spent. I mentioned that there is no story. They don't even try to tell any sort of story. Vague hints are dropped but nothing is explained, even in a skeletal manner. It's literally a string of tropes unconvincingly stitched together. Chained up people mutilate themselves at the behest of a mysterious villain. That is the story. Idiot detective characters pad the run time. I'm aware that it's a common and lazy insult to say a movie seems like it was written by juveniles. This one genuinely feels like it was written by and for sixth graders based on Saw tropes. The one positive? The practical gore effects were occasionally serviceable. Sure, some were of the "squirty kinfe" variety....but the effects department, in general, seemed to at least try. It's still not enough to recommend this film except as an example of how not to make a movie.

Awakening in a demented dungeon, a group of people find themselves chained in a cell and forced to endure a nightmarish game on social media to garner the most likes to earn their freedom, and the more they stay in the cell find a connection to their host that triggered the situation.

This was a pretty disappointing genre effort in the style. The main feature that works quite well here with the genre's standouts is the highly impressive and brutal gore featured here. The various traps and games that are played here where each of the characters are forced to undergo a series of self-mutilation and disfigurement to get their likes across serve this incredibly well with a plethora of brutal and incredibly vicious sequences. With characters having their heads explode, breaking out into sores from exposure to gas, chopping their fingers off, smashing hands with hammers, and other types of scenes throughout here, the bloodshed here is quite effective within here as the game takes place deeper into the film. This effectiveness and brutality are enough to raise this up quite enough despite being the only factor to like here. However, there are several issues here that really drag this down. The main issue here is the film's overall style and approach taking yet another stab at a derided and underwhelming genre with the whole setup of the internet game forcing people to mutilate themselves through torture. It's a setup that comes across as rather pedestrian and underwhelming from the very start, made all the more ridiculous with the laughably unimposing controller that takes one of the most ludicrous means of trying to seem threatening yet is quite problematic. That becomes even worse when the whole reasoning for their confinement and the forced nature of their game just provides a laughably underwhelming and disconnected feel that gives everything one of the least reasonable means for torturing others in the genre which is rather distressing. Combined with an ineffective and inept police investigation that speaks to its low-budget roots with how it zips by the normal means of an investigation, these all manage to hold this one down.
