Odds Are

This has to be the most stupid movie I've ever seen. I was really looking forward to watching this and was HIGHLY disappointed!!!! I hope that the people these events actually happened to had much better sense than the characters.. (COMMON SENSE) ..... Geesh, what a let down

I personally would not act anywhere near to what the characters who are involved in this do. Saw inspired a lot of imitations and copycats. Though I think its time to acknowledge that in films people tend to take what they like from other movies and make it their own. So while you could compare it to a degree, it is also quite contained.

Still contained, does not mean things won't get out of hand. So credibility, especially considering the premise this is ultimately based on, is fragile at best. The house of cards comes crumbling if you just even try to think about sense and logic ... if you can avoid that, you may be able to be entertained or whatever you'd call it, by what happens on screen ...

I did actually watch the whole thing with zero expectations. Hard to do with horror but otherwise so many end up being disappointing. Even the "based on true events" lure couldn't save this movie! I found myself rolling my eyes and groaning about every ten minutes right from the start. To sum it up, if you enjoy movies where main characters do EVERYTHING WRONG all of the time then you might not hate it. Honestly I'm tempted to rewatch it with bad 80's music because as a horror spoof it might be more entertaining! Lol.

22 minutes in this happens and it sets the tone perfectly. Please allow me to elaborate, a 6ft man has the heart-stopping moment of a stuggle when climbing over a feeble, wooden fence that he can look over without standing on his tippy-toes. I actually caught myself waving my hand at the screen and ranting "What are you doing"?! And that's the LEAST ridiculous things that happens in this film.

Now, I'm not going to complain about the rest of the story or the acting or the blah blah blah.

I'm just saying that it's pretty naff and from now on, I need to find a hobby for my Friday evenings as films like this make me question my very existence.

This a perfect example as to why some movies should never be made. There are no spoilers here as it is impossible for me to re-live this travesty. Please do not watch this movie.
