Warhouse

The second I saw that guy dial "999," I knew I was in for it. Only the dullest, driest, AND most pointless s#!t made its way into this movie. And you will groan if you've ever seen Jacob's Ladder.

This is a short story idea at best, stretched to the absolute limits of 80 agonizing minutes. A marine is trapped in a house, being forced to relive the same day over and over. He gets a sandwich on white bread, and is attacked by a gross creature. It is as thrilling as it sounds. When each soldier plays one note on the piano... Over and over and over... Sheer genius! Interrogating hideously disfigured creatures for information? Staggering! Singing battle hymns, mumbling to yourself, monologues about going mad? Someone hand ME the razor!

You know you're in trouble when the best rave on the DVD box says "Has the feeling of the original Saw." I don't even know how that relates to this picture. Ignore all the positive reviews, and steer clear if you want to hold onto your sanity.

As a fan of war themed horror movies I was intrigued by this movie especially when I saw Joseph Morgan starring in it. While the movie is low budget and takes place in a house, it is an interesting flick with an equitably fresh idea that was new and entertaining also the lack of budget limited it quite a bit. So, a soldier of the Royal Marines played by Joseph Morgan is stuck in a house and there is no way out of there. The interesting part is that the house is supernatural and our hero needs to battle a ghoul like creature every single day which is interesting because this creature is just as much as stuck in the house as Morgan's character so it's a constant loop. The thing is that aside from a great idea I believe that the story, suspense and the plot are well performed. I saw that there was some work put into the story- line and suspense so please don't let the budget fool you. I believe that this movie had some interesting plot points. I definitely recommend it since this is one of the actual ''good'' horror movie that have come out recently. This movie is not a masterpiece but it sure is a good effort that will keep you entertained and curious. And again don't let the budget fool you. Joseph's acting is pretty good also. While this pretty much has a depressive feel to it, there is an unintentional funny scene where Joseph kills the ghoul while he's taking a bath (you'll have a chuckle once you see it yourself) I'll give it 7/10 since the movie surprised me in a way, to think that this movie would have had plot with a first look......I did not expect that. So, if you're bored make sure to see this. It's not a masterpiece but will interest you enough and make you think what would you have done if you were in that house.

The only reason I'm giving this three stars is because my husband, daughter and I watched it with only one pause to get cookies. We usually have shorter attention spans, so I give this credit for keeping us watching.

Other than that...as soon as it finished we were all quiet and wondering "WTF" and my daughter said "I'll never get those minutes of my life back." This is the case of a film trying to be something it's not. The make-up/costume is reminiscent of an early 80s B-film and the low-budget quality of the actual film is hard to watch.

Do I recommend it? Only if the alternative is cleaning a toilet.

First, I'll admit my house looks like a Blockbuster and like any connoisseur of whatever their (Harmless) addiction happens to be, one tastes can become thrilled by things the "regular joe" may not get all excited about. I ran across this gem on the "Big E" surfing my DVD wishlist recommendations .The second I saw very few copies of it for sale and the fact I had never seen it before I checked it out. A little indie horror loop flick eh? Watched a few trailers and read a few real reviews (Sorry, but amateur movie addicts with a little "I;m so bored with no big Bay-Bangs" (as in Micheal) review or the frequent "eh I didn't get it so it must be horrid" reviews ya find on here and elsewhere, just doesn't count imo.) Yeah I know, sounds a bit snobbish but...that's fine. As Lisa Marie Presley sang "Ya had the fine wine but ya better off with Bud Light" so I offer no apologies. I snapped it up and enjoyed it greatly, so refreshing to find something off the cuff, especially if it's done with love and effort. The acting is great, the story is pretty unique and out of the norm.Joseph Morgan and Matt Ryan are a joy to watch, and easy on the eyes. It's movies like this you wish could have had some wealthy backer throw more cash at it, just for polish. But even on it's own, as it is, a rare little Indie effort, it's a nice addition to a film buffs collection...after all. Great thing about a collection is having some things in it not many others have got...especially if they're good. As someone else said, it isn't a masterpiece, but it is fun to watch, keeps you engaged, and certainly worth having for bragger's rights as well.
