Even the dialouges are slow, the action of horror are slow, the plotspeed are slow, everything is slow in here.
its a typical social media horror genre alla lure the ''fjortis'' in the trap, and lock the locks very tight to use her as a sex slave and as a humble house girl. in this story though there are 4 girls trapped in the same complex of a hellhole, all of them called siggy, and all of them made up and hairdone like eachother, all of them in creerleading suits...its all a game of playing with the devil and you might win or not.... the psychopaty that lingers in the house are some realistic and some not. the schizofrenic changing into several persons are typical, and might feel scary for some, what i felt a little was the claustrophobia of the locked environment.
acting, well all the tars here aint born yet, but they might. but nothing to acclaim for. the filmographic work aint bad at all, and the colourfull decorative work done at the main set , gives you a weird sense of normality, so its a well done job there.
its a film that will scare some, make others laugh, and most will jump of halfway, so its just a pinch of a spoonful recommend from the grumpy old man

This movie was terrible. JUST awful. When I saw the trailer, I thought it had some promise. I'm an American, so I enjoyed the idea of a blonde female cast. I thought this could be like Split, another movie with a bunch of abducted girls. Only hotter.
But no. The only thing hot was the mess of a wig on the final girl's head the whole time. I'm telling you, it caused me pain to see that horrible wig on the screen throughout most of the movie-particularly because the blondeness of the psycho's sister Sadie was kind of important to the plot. So let's get this straight: Instead of casting by one of the +/minus 1 bazillion blonde 20ish actresses trying to land a movie in Hollywood, they cast a brunette, have a scene where her character is forced to bleach her hair, and then outfit her for the rest of the movie with the most godawful, not-foolin-anybody wig ever seen outside an amateur drag night.
Was it because the lead actress was otherwise so perfect for the role? It was not. This woman couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, which is a problem when you're doing whole movie with, essentially, a cast of 4. Her motivation was "whiny/indignant" throughout the entire movie, which was really strike three in getting the audience to like the character. (Strikes one and two being, of course, telling no one you are meeting a stranger from the Interapps and accepting an obviously roofied drink and texting incessently during the first 15 minutes of the movie. Rude.) A very poor final girl.
The rest is standard fare. Trauma. Tears. Plotting escape. Flashbacks revealing that the psycho has-wait for it... a dark past.
I won't spoil the details, but the end of the movie is positively bizarre and absolutely laughable in at least 3 ways. Then, in the strangest moment of all, right before the credits, the director makes you wonder if he thought he was directing a PSA.

The movie was doing fine up until around the 30 minute mark where our lead actress dyes her hair and now she's wearing this ridiculous blonde wig the rest of the film. It looked like something a child would wear at a kid's museum and I had to shut it off. Way to ruin a good movie.
It had this creepy dollhouse-like atmosphere.
The story was pretty basic but passable.
Endless "I would have just done XYZ" situations, typical characters making nonsense decisions. I don't mind this so much in horror though because I almost feel like it's part of the fun of bad horror movies.
Overall I wouldn't really recommend it but it was ok as a one time watch. Your not missing anything if you don't see it though.

Let's just face it - it's simply not good. The thing that bothered me the most was the acting itself (which basically carries the movie, lol) from everyone. I did not believe a single person in there. Not the girls, not the villain, not anyone. I did not believe girl were actually scared. I did not believe villains performance (it looked like the guy HAD to make this movie, for cash purposes only, not because he actually believed in that character and wanted to express it).
I know this movie was supposed to show us how often, and on which ways, young girls are being kidnapped, through a teen horror movie. But it failed. It was actually a good story, but did not deliver what was supposed to. Maybe if it was a higher budget movie, and if they hired more experienced actors...it would be good. But... here we are.
On the plus side, I'll give them one thing - I've seen mother and father issues, but never sister issues from mans point of view. Like I said, it could of been great.
I don't recommend it, but if you want to kill and hour and a half... go for it.
