Featured reviews
This movie had me laughing the whole time. Unfortunately, it's not suppose to be a comedy. Craig Parker did a wonderful job as the overeager Deputy Henley but the rest of the movie isn't worth seeing. I would compare it to a bad "Lifetime" movie, but worse. I don't know why it's considered a thriller because I would not be thrilled to have to see this movie again. It takes every cheesy cliché from every other thriller movie and uses them over and over again. None of the actors were American so I don't see why it needed to be set in America just so they could all murder the accent. Sometimes they even forgot which side of the road to drive on. It's just... the list of bad things about this movie could go on forever.
I live near a second-hand shop where you can always find heaps of DVDs for prices between 1 and 2 EUR. Ideal for rediscovering long-forgotten direct-to-video films from the late 1990s and early 2000s.
So I bought No One Can Hear You, a thriller from 2001. Only 10 reviews, the last one over 10 years ago and barely 4.3/10 on IMDB for the moment. A bad movie?
Not at all! I found this early 2000s film really exciting. Well, the story was clearly not very original and the budget was not very big.
The film was sold at the time as Horror of the Slasher type and that will be part of the explanation for the low score: if you are looking for a really dirty, bloody, groomy film, it is better to choose another film. But for those looking for a thrilling Who Done It with a serial killer, you'll get a lot. The acting is good for this type of film, the filmography is solid and the story builds tension well!
Highly recommended for thriller fans to pick up from the second-hand racks!

This movie was pretty bad, but not as bad as "Motel Hell" or "Teen Alien". I think this movie's saving grace was Craig Parker. He manages to pull off a decent American accent (for the most part, anyway), which is better than his other Kiwi costars. Bit of trivia: the director is one of the producers on "Mercy Peak".
I absolutely loved this movie. It had great acting and a great story- line. It kept me guessing who the real killer was. The ending was the best part :). It sort of reminded me of the old-school horror films and that's one of the main reasons it was a great movie in my book. I love old horror films. I would definitely watch this again and again. I wish they would make a sequel because I would love to know about what was going on in the end! It left you with a bit of a cliff-hanger and I would love to know what happens next!I can honestly say I'm fairly excited about this movie. Can we make a sequel please?? At least to explain the ending!
Although the movie has some over the top performances, plot holes and inconsistencies, it still manages to keep you entertained for 90 minutes. The story is sometimes a bit of a cliche, but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the story.
