Hide in the Light

Is it scary? No. The acting while the characters are are shallow, is still decent. The movie LOOKS very nice, I'm always a fan of "trapped" somewhere movies so it's got that going for it. The plot is as generic as it gets. I'd rather they'd just somehow been trapped inside (maybe like House on Haunted Hill) without ghosts. Or maybe even just toss in a psycho security guard...as cliche as that is as well, it would've been better.

If you just can't find anything else to watch, and just want something to kill time, you could do MUCH worse.

It's A+ looking with a C- script/concept.

The movie is very good looking and the demon/little girl in it are perfect to me.

BUT, the people in it are the stupidest I swear. If you want to see people kill themself by natural selection, this is the one.

OKAY. My wife and I watched the trailer and thought okay...looks decent. So we started watching the movie...during the credits, we saw that...oh, chew it back...it had Eric Roberts in the movie. Now, for those of you that don't know, when a movie has Eric Roberts in a movie, no matter if it's a major role...(Yeah, right...) or a small role...the movie is DOOMED. I'm sorry, this man is cursed. Say what you will...but it's true. As far as the movie is concerned, It started with a good group of ten...yes, TEN people! Talk about strength in numbers. NOT in this case. They dropped like flies. The acting sucked and it was a bore to watch. Entered a haunted building and couldn't get out. HOW ORIGIONAL. I'd avoid this one, folks. it's a waste of time. I'm just trying to help here. Peace.

Yes, the set-up and tropes are all cliches. Yes, some of the backstories given to flesh out the characters seem strained. And yes, it starts out slow, although the "What was that?" and "Did you see that?" moments seemed like promises of better things to come. No, the acting wasn't all horrible (several of the actors are professionals, although none of them boast A-list credentials, and most of them can act competently). There were moments when, listening to the dialogue between characters meant to establish histories and relationships, I was sorta reminded of the relationships between characters in 1980s slasher movies--while not examples of stellar screenwriting, the scripts of those flicks often strove to create some sense of sympathy for their characters, unlike many of today's low-budget concoctions. Nothing new (or really compelling) is offered, but it's hardly unwatchable, and a rather admirable effort.

Concept had potential, execution was horrible, there was even parts where characters were being irrational even by horror movie standards! I didn't give a one star only because I was invested enough in seeing who makes it out...
