The Maze

I watched this movie on Halloween with some friends in a dark room and you know it was actually fun. It is definitely a movie to watch as a group. It was your normal scares with loud music and things jumping out but that is why we decided to watch it in the first place. Setting it in a corn maze was interesting and I really liked the Alice in Wonderland motif throughout the film. I was a little confused at the beginning of the film, but then as it went on I started to get in to it and I let my early misgivings go and I enjoyed myself. If you go into this movie expecting something completely different then what you've ever seen in a horror movie before then you will be disappointed. If you want a fun scare that you don't have to think about then give it a chance and I think you will find you enjoyed yourself.

After seeing some of the reviews I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this film but I got it anyway and watched it with my friends. Yes it had its fair share of cheesy acting, slow pacing, and low budget feel but I have to agree with some of the other reviewers. This movie was obviously made to be a low budget film and I found most of the reviews on here are to harsh. I especially enjoyed the the twist in the story.

Overall, I would say its worth watching, just don't expect a multi million dollar film. Or even a million dollar film. However if you do make sure it is in the right setting, with a group of friends or people that can enjoy a good low budget horror film.

I really wanted to give this movie a chance, but wow what a snooze fest. The acting ranges from passable to downright right bad. The dialogue is even worse. What is it with movies trying to make their final girl seem tough but only succeeding at having her come off as a stuck up witch? Perhaps the worst part is when you think the movies over, it drags on for another half hour. The movie honestly spends more time focusing on the cops in the police station than the killer hunting people in a maze. The only good thing going for the movie is a unique twist at the end, but it takes so long to get there and requires a lot of dumb decisions/plot conveniences in the final 10 minutes to make it happen that it does nothing to save this horrible movie.

I'm a huge fan of low budge horrors and found this one didn't disappoint. It's been a while since I have seen a horror film take place in a corn maze (probably due to logistical problems with the story as some have mentioned. One would think you could just run in any single direction and eventually be out but that is beside the point). For being a low budget film I really enjoyed the music. Thats the one thing that seemed superior to other horror movies with low budgets. Most everything else was on par with what I expected.

If you like low budget horrors then you won't be disappointed. If you have issues with low budget films then you probably wont enjoy this film (as you can see from some of the other reviews). Overall I would probably give it a 4.5 to 5 except that I enjoyed the music so much that it bumped it up to a 6.

Well, the cover for "The Maze" does look interesting, but the movie was anything but interesting. It was basically a snooze-fest from start to end, because nothing much did happen.

The movie is about a group of young people who go into a withered corn field to play tag, but they are not alone there. A killer is stalking the corn field, eager to snuff out their lives.

The outlay of the story does seem fair enough, but it just didn't really work out in any way. The corn field idea, as great as that is, have been used a bit too much to have the same scary effect anymore. And the killer, well, a guy in a red sweater with the hood worn up so no one can see his face, well that isn't particularly scary. And the way people were killed were fairly boring - yeah, I said boring. As with the last decade's gory slasher-fest and inventive ways of killing people in movies, the ways used in "The Maze" was just boring and unimaginative in comparison.

The one bright spot to this movie was the twist towards the ending of the movie. That was actually worth suffering through the first three-quarters of the movie for. I enjoyed that twist and idea on the storyline.

For a slasher movie, then "The Maze" is well below standards of what you would expect from a movie of this category in this day and age.
