Sacren

The masked maniacs keep asking for sugar. They should've asked for "Sacren." Either way, this movie caused cancer in laboratory rats.

Disappointed really.

Very slow at the beginning. So much so - and indeed throughout the film - I don't think the screenwriter will be getting RSI or repetitive strain injury! There's not much dialogue, but just my opinion. For me, lack of dialogue doesn't add anything to the movie, just makes it not-noticeable. Sorry.

A good one, for a background movie.

Those calling this boring or a complete rip off of The Strangers could not possibly have watched the movie. It requires some thought, which may be beyond the grasp of some. Overall this is a solid first feature from a director that shows promise. Make up your own mind, don't take someone's word for it that may have looked at the cover art only.

Cringe-inducing horrible acting, terrible pacing, and and after more than half the movie of build up and 'tension', no major payoff. The relationship between the two leads is weird and forced. I get that they've just gone through a loss, but it's portrayed in a very stilted and unnatural manner. It was as if it was written by someone who'd only ever read about that happening to people and now was trying to portray it on screen. The film is also shot very amateurishly, with corny slo-mo and messy angles when the violence finally starts going down. I like 'bad' horror movies, but bad in a good way. This was not that. This was just terrible.

It's nowhere near as bad as reviewed. While I mildly defend this movie I understand why people don't like it. The story is not new I'm not going to give names of the movies that have a near identical story a horror movie fan should already know that this is a movie that's been made before from the plot description. I guess you can get mad that it's similar to other movies but the viewers have a certain responsibility here, I say that as a person who has never watched the movie (because I really don't like the actors in the other film) that this is most similar to but I knew this would be like that other film. Acting is fine none of the cast was good enough to make a long lasting positive impression but they also were good enough that I can't think of anything negative about the job they've done so that's a wash. At the start I was really into it the cracking noise was chilling because if I'd have to guess what it was I'd have to say an empty water bottle which everyone has heard that many many times it will stick with me and should with others as well. But the pacing was all over the place and after the hotel scenes it dragged almost to a full stop. I don't mind a movie that has long stretches of no dialogue but after awhile you realize the silence is not to build tension or push the story it's just happening to lengthen the movie which I understand but it's so long and almost nothing happens that the lack of dialogue becomes a silent distraction. This movie isn't great it doesn't cover new ground it has no striking visuals no new filming techniques it's just a horror movie and while it's apparent others expected more it was enough for me that I didn't think my time was wasted and I did enjoy it I'm not going to watch it over and over but it did entertain me.
