Jeu dangereux, héritage meutrier

I titled this Incredible Performances because the performances were so incredibly bad. I have watched many movies in my 70+ years where you may have top box office actors and actresses who give sterling performances and it seems to draw in incredibly good performances from their costars. I've now learned that the reverse is also true. The acting in this movie is so poor that it dragged John Voight and Jonathan Rhys Myers down with them. I don't know if they are strapped for cash or why they would stoop to doing such an incredibly bad movie coupled with incredibly bad acting on their part. On top of that, even if they had performed well, the plot and storyline is so ridiculous that this goes in the annals of one of the worst movies ever. Oh. Two stars because it was not overly long. Thanks for that.

Look the convention is "off in as gory a manner as you wish stupid rich people" but any director that even hints at animal cruelty is not worth watching by anyone.

No long intro, this movie gets right into the gore and introduces the nasty people. So look in vain for a sympathetic character to identify with. And the real house, yep someone did some homework, was right in the middle of town, no boat or plane required. So a Halloween movie, perhaps, but nonetheless a good alternative to watching repeats on TV while broken bones heal, forced on you while waiting for the next installment of Loki.

While the plot seemed killer at first, all the intrigue was quickly murdered by a subpar script, butchered by 3rd teir directing skills, and laid to rest with some of the worst acting I have ever seen.

That being said, John Rhys Meyers and John Voight certainly did the best they could with an impossibly bad script. They showed their worth as actors, and were the only believable characters in the whole film. While some of the dialogue was even cringier than the abhorrent special effects, it was obviously not the actors fault. For their sake, I will give two stars. One for each of them.

But by all means...watch the film. Can't say I didn't warn you.

This movies biggest is puzzle is how they got Jon Voight to be in it. This movie has zero redeeming qualities, I'm not even sure what I just watched. Think of it as the saw meets knives out meets escape room but with none of the actual good bits. I should have known to steer clear when I saw that Jonathan Rhys Meyers was in it. If you do somehow decide that a couple of hours of your life are completely worthless and you would rather watch possibly one of the worst movies I have ever encountered than do literally anything else, then you have been warned, I gave you a heads up. This movie is just plain poor on every single level.

Okay just finished watching this movie, even though the reviews on here are quite poor.

As I watched this film, I thought if it's crap, then I have always seen worse and boy are the worse films out there, even ones with big budgets.

The run time of the movie moved at a brisk pace and there was not one scene I thought that the film dragged on.

My only criticism is that one scene near the end, and I will say it here even though I won't be giving spoilers away.

The one scene and most people will know which one I am on about.

The scene where the daughter eats her dads eye, come on. This has to be the most stupidest scene I have seen for a very long time.

It wasn't done for shock value, because it failed on that, it wasn't done for gore because there was barely any in this scene. In fact it came across that it was played for laughs.

I am trying to get that stupid scene out of my head because apart from that I enjoyed the movie.
