Are You Scared is a cheap imitation of Saw. A madman kidnaps a bunch of teens who apply for a reality TV contest. Turns out the show is way too real for everyone as they all start dying in contests where there is no way to win and there is an audience of one. Everything moves pretty fast, which is nice when the effects and dialog are well below average. Lighting was terrible, camera work was fine, screen play was OK. Directing was marginal, and editing was good. Some twists at the end made it a little more interesting. One thing I noticed is that I didn't feel sorry for the characters when they died because they were all pretty annoying. Even the police and FBI characters didn't generate any real sympathy.

If you've seen Saw, then you are aware of the basic principles of the movie. A disturbed individual kidnaps a bunch of kids and claims they are apart of a game show. Little do they know, the only winnings will cost them their lives. This demented thriller seems to follow in its footsteps with a little twist; it sucks. Simply stated, the actors are terrible. The 'victims' took acting 101, but beyond that the rest of the crew needs to go back to their day job. Gore, blood, and fried carcass galore. Looking for some more twisted violence and you can look past the poor acting, then maybe you can sit through this nightmare. My advise is to pass and go see Saw III.

It is only getting one star because there isn't an option for a complete zero. I have seen better day time cartoons than this movie. Not only was the plot stolen from SAW, it almost seems as if you're watching the movie again but yet through the eyes of a 2 year old. Awful acting, poor script, VERY VERY BADLY DIRECTED, I really just don't know how to tell you to stay away from this movie other than please.. rather than waste your time watching this, just think of all the harm you could be doing to the ozone.. or maybe even go to your kids softball game, or just stick your finger down your throat and induce vomiting to get the effect of how you will feel after watching this movie knowing you will never be able to get this part of your life back forever. LOL

Garbage. That's all I can say about this piece of crap. I was rooting for the killer. The main characters were so irritating and stupid, I wish they would have died earlier. Didn't the killer think about the fact that these "teens" would tear out those low hanging cameras? How about the dumb loud mouth girls standing in the middle of the room in the only light available making enough noise to raise the dead. Stupid! Most annoying people I have ever seen in front of a camera (I will not call these people actors, they couldn't act their way out of a paper bag). Never mind that the movie is a blatant rip off of another movie. Even if it wasn't, I'd still call it a piece of crap. When are they going to stop making these "teenagers in peril" trash? I'd almost rather see remakes. There was nothing entertaining, sexy, or interesting about the film. What a waste. I'm never renting Lion's Gate garbage again. After Mr. Jingles, I should have known better anyway. Save your money and watch "Saw" again. There's nothing but stupidity here. The only good thing about the movie is...hopefully all the casting agents will see the crappy actors in this dung heap and refuse to ever put them in front of another camera. I hated this movie! No doubt about it! I hope some of the technicians involved used a fake name. They deserve better than have their name on this piece of trash.

This film follows the idea of saw trap some people in a room see how far they will go to save themselves.

This is nothing more than a rip off of Saw and Cube, the acting was terrible all very over the top and very stereotypical, the direction and writing is laughable, the traps them self's haven't been thought through properly, and the ones they did use were not only stupid to the point that you feel insulted, it feels like they have dumbed the film down on purpose.

I like to try and leave a good comment where i can and thinking back to the film i really can't.

Watching this film really makes you enjoy Saw and Cube sooo much more because how anyone can really enjoy this film is beyond me.

My advice steer clear you could spend your money on a lot better.

This movie is awful. Plain and simple. The editing was horrible, in one scene the guys face is messed up on the wrong side. And I think I have seen better acting in adult movies. This was right there with "bathing a cat" on the fun scale. And the most disappointing part, no bad actresses baring their bods. Shameful. No redeeming value at all. I think this would fall under Warren's definition of obscene material, i.e. "utterly without redeeming social value". This really is the worst piece of film ever put together. I think my TV almost broke when I watched it, it was really that bad. Long and short, do not waste your time on this. I think I may see if I can sue someone to get that hour and a half back.

Okay, I'm a huge movie fan, HUGE. I have been made fun of by friends and my brothers for some of the movies I've liked. Where is this going? My point....I like a VERY wide variety of movie and it takes a really, really bad piece-of-crap movie before I will dislike it. This movie was TOTAL CRAP! Not only was this a very VERY weak attempt to rip-off a first-class movie (the "Saw" series) but they didn't even try to be original. Even down the bad guy's voice and use of voice modifier, it was such a total crappy rip-off of Saw. I'm not even going to waste any more time listing all the bad things about this movie because I've already wasted the time watching it (I admit, I couldn't make it past the first 37 minutes!).

My advice to you? Go into your local video store, put on a blindfold, wander around, and stick your hand out and grab anything within reach....and I promise you it will be better than this film.

I give this movie a 10 out of 10 best comedy of the year! This movie is funny, a laughable tale of trial and triumph against all odds. A tale of a movie that wants to be saw, yet fails horribly, with some intense character development such as that one guy did that one thing, and that other person died. The characters in this film are unforgettable, just thinking of the chemistry between that blond guy and that other person brings a tear to my eye right now. Also, the plot twists are unforgettable, such as that one person died, I never would have called that! All around, this a wonderful movie that deserves the academy award for the best picture ever in the history of all things. Go and watch this riveting movie, better than Citizen Kane.

This is THE worst movie I've seen in my entire life. Snakes on a Plane looked like 5 stars compared to this. You need to see this movie. I laughed my butt off the whole time. It is one of the most entertaining pieces of film I've ever seen. The fact that it's SO bad makes it good. I can laugh and watch stupid people die in a gory way at the same time. I don't know about you, but I get a kick out of horrible movies. I could tell it was going to be crap during the first scene because of the camera work. It looked so bad.Even The acting was bad. I haven't even heard of any of the actors in it. It'll make you appreciate crappy movies like Texas Chainsaw massacre, because it's at least got somewhat good acting, the camera work is normal, and the characters aren't stupid, well not as stupid as this movie's. I guess it could be compared to Saw, in the fact that you have to hurt yourself to live and a demented guy is watching people die but other than that, it's not alike. I can't even think of another movie that could compare to how bad this was. If you have time to waste, invest it in this movie. Are you scared is priceless.

To make things perfectly clear once and for all, yes, this is a rip-off of "Saw", as well as a little bit of a rip off of "Se7en", and maybe even a hair of "The Empire Strikes Back". But SO WHAT?!? This is what is known as 'camp' - Defined by one-time Simpsons character John as being 'the ludicrously tragic' or 'the tragically ludicrous'. Just because it is awful doesn't mean that is isn't fun. Horrible script, horrible acting, decent gore. It is a formula that has been used long before the decline and return of the R-rated horror. How many dozens of movies ripped off "Friday the 13th" or "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"? Does that mean they have no entertainment value?? Absolutely not! If you want rich story lines and award-winning acting, stick with movies like "The Last Emperor" or "Seasons of the Fall" or any of the other boring 3-and-a-half hour Hollywood swill that is so common. This is a movie for people who liked "Sleepaway Camp" or "Cheerleader Massacre" or any other wacky horror film from the 80s. Visually, I was rather pleased. The quality of the video is better than you would expect to see from Troma-type films. The reason I give it a 7 is because of the fact that it is in fact no "Saw" and there were moments in the film that seemed to drag a bit. But it is definitely not a zero or a 1. There IS entertainment value. Watch this film knowing what it is and what it is not beforehand and, if that is your thing, I am sure you will be able to enjoy it.

I've seen all the saw movies-meh. They early ones were good. This wasnt even as good as the bad saw movies. Poor acting and blah. Just watch saw.

It's like Saw, minus the budget,and the acting, and the special effects... If you told a group of junior high students to make a recreation of Saw, this is what you would get... I almost shut it off 30 minutes in, but I decided to stick with it in case it got better....it didn't.... The worst torture isn't in the movie......it's watching it....

it was like a cheap porn...very little plot, half done effects and certain events that were poorly portrayed and done...not scary in one degree just something funny to watch as a humor to a horror movie. there were almost copy cats of saw 2 and fear dot com. i did not see the point in some of the acting and you can tell that it was a low budget film. i think the director needs to reconsider his career and maybe become a film critic or a theater teacher at a small university...if you see this movie be prepared for some disappointment and some blatant disregard of "horror move procedure" the stereotypes were way over played, tho it did have maybe one twist to the movie...had this movie taken the plot a bit further then it may not be bad but it relied on saw and feardotcom to much to gain dramatic effect, in other words there horror wasn't horror, it was been there killed that.

This comment may be misleading! This movie was simply amazing, the plot, the script, the acting and the theme music it was so good! Honestly I have never heard of a more original script and plot in my life. What an amazing movie! I lingered at every twist and turn and saw nothing coming. I mean seriously just the fact that it was soooo unpredictable amazed me. I haven't seen a better movie since like mike 2. This movie belongs up there with the other great horrors along with psycho and the omen. I was completely amazed when i found out that this movie was not up for any academy awards. It was flawless no plot holes nothing. I was also very moved by this moving, just the fact that you sat and watched as the girl watched her brother die brought a tear to my eye. I laughed, I cried, and then it ended. Hats off to Andy Hurst for making the greatest movie of all time. Bravo Andy bravo!!

This is a little message to pretty much everyone mostly the people who have done this film a disservice by wasting its time insulting it and maybe, just maybe, people who don't have such ridiculous expectations for these types of films.

Why is this film bad just because it is similar to another film that is good! Grow some balls and accept that not every film is Lord Of The Rings and appreciate entertaining straight to video productions. For what this film is, its good, end of subject. And just because everyone apparently has the same generic opinion on just about everything as everybody else means they are most probably wrong.

thanks

First off, If you can't tolerate a ripoff, then don't watch this, and then whine about it. It is definitely not original entertainment, but that doesn't mean it's not entertaining. One thing that stood out was the traps/ death scenes, which were cruel, inventive, and nasty. The power tools', the acid, and the bomb in particular were creative. I agree with the first reviewer about the cast, they were disposable for the most part, but the villain and our lead heroine were very good, and kept my interest. I might get some heat for this, but the traps were right on par with the films' it copies, and that alone makes it a must see for fans of those classics'. I went in with low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of the production. In the end it came down to the cool booby traps and surprise twist, that elevated it to the above average category. They leave the ending open for a sequel.

Wow... I am almost at a loss for words here. I have just sat through what would be considered punishment for crimes committed on any other continent. This movie is sooooo badly written, and played out I almost smashed my monitor several times. I am completely sick and tired of watching such stupidity in movies. Screaming and crying, and going where they are directed, not unlike sheep being herded to the slaughter. LOL. What a joke. Furthermore this is a sad, sad,... oh so sad rip off of Saws success. Same idea,... Monumentally, Astronomically, poorly done.

DON'T waste your time!!!
