Depravity

This sucks, probably the worst acting I have ever witnessed. Story made no sense and was unrealistic, each scene felt so forced and dragged. Did I already mentioned how bad the acting was?. Watching this movie is a top 3 worst decision I have ever made. For every person who participated in creating this film, please never try and participate in a film ever again. Worst acting of all time, worst production of all time, worst storyline of all time, worst acting of all time, worst acting of all time, worst acting of all time, worst acting of all time, most probably one of the worst films of all time.

I didn't know what to expect and it certainly defied my expectations, from the story to the acting and the fascinating location (the hotel it was shot in was perfect for the story and genre), and it all tied together nicely, but the biggest surprises were the shocking twists that I did NOT SEE COMING and the acting was impressive all around including the outstanding cameo of Dermot Mulroney coming in and being a compelling figure to pull all of the other characters in. From a very accomplished writer this was an impressive directorial debut and hopefully a sign of bigger and better things to come!

Tight story, full of surprises and twists. The characters are fully fleshed out and the music along with the editing and creative camera angles all help move the story along at a clip.

At times the scenes feel like a Tarantino movie. It's menacing, sexy and clever.

Victoria Justice's performance along with the rest of the cast is enthralling as the plot and intrigue progresses.

Not every character makes it to the end of the film, and even though there's no way of predicting who is going to be killed it never feels unearned. There are no deceptive red herrings or eye rolling obvious clues.

Whenever you feel one step ahead of the plot the movie proves you wrong.

I had a great time with this inventive thriller. The premise is strong, with an exciting and suspenseful story, several twists and turns, and a serious amount of harsh violence. The pace is high and the three main characters all get some background, enough to make you care for them, although they are hardly sympathetic, and all of them led by greed and opportunism. The acting by Victoria Justice, Taylor John Smith and Devon Ross is equally fine, and Alex Roe and especially Sasha Luss make convincing, hair-raisingly scary villains.

If anything, I had at the final conclusion a bit of a hard time tying all the knots together and comprehending how the scheme of the one that got away exactly had worked. But that's probably my too simple brain, and it didn't mar my appreciation at all. Great fun!

Three neighbors , Grave Shaw (gorgeous Victoria Justice) ,Alex Burke (Taylor John Smith) and Aria (Devon Ross) suspect their next door guy (the already veteran and prolific Dermot Mulroney) is a serial killer and when they enter undercover his apartment they discover a fortune, all of which leads to a sadistic game of survival. But then the group of roommates accidentally kill an innocent man. Later on , two really evil criminals, Tovia (Sasha Luss of Anna) and Claude (Alex Roe), go after them in search of stolen works of art.

A below average and some claustrophobic thriller with intrigue, tense, suspense, violence, twists and turns. It results to be a run-of-the-mill thriller with some terror elements that fails to deliver the goods. In fact, everything is disappointed by the improbable events and the bombastic situations. The story is hampered by its low budget - in fact, most of the film was set in the two apartments of the protagonists - and also by the unpleasant characters that act in the film. Thus, the roles are all ambitious, evil, and selfish, all have an uncontrollable passion for money, or some valuable paintings, and all will do anything to get them, even kill. Due to being set mostly in an apartment and with some characters clandestinely entering another home, we could perhaps classify this film within the ¨Home invasion¨ sub-genre , being filmed in similar naturalist and realist style to ¨Michael Hanake's Funny Games¨, ¨Secuestrados¨ by Miguel Angel Vivas , Enric Alberich's ¨Transgression¨, ¨Trespass¨ (2011) by Joel Schumacher and Don't Breathe I and II by Rodo Sayagues.

Apparently the film was shot between Thailand (that's why it was shot by the Thai cameraman Wych Kaosayananda) and the United States, but landscape and sightseeing enthusiasts will be disappointed since hardly any exteriors are shown. The motion picture was averagely written/produces/directed by Paul Tomasy. Directorial debut of screenwriter/producer Paul Tamasy, who also wrote this script. His previous screenplays include Air Bud (1997) and its several sequels and spinoffs for Disney, such as: Treasure Buddies, Santa Buddies, Space Buddies, Snow Buddies, Spooky Buddies , The Search for Santa Paws and Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups. Paul Tomasy stands out in his scripts, such as: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, The Fighter, Patriots Day, The Outpost, The Finest Hours. However, in Depravity (2o24) failed considerably, providing a mediocre and not very interesting film whose story we had already seen many times before and better filmed. Rating: 4.5/10. A routine thriller that will disappoint because it does not give what is expected.
