    agreed

    Bad is indeed bad and nothing bad seeds like bad-sess. It's just pretty bad right away.

    Crap hole movie

    Do not absolutely believe anything other than this movie sucks crap. I would rather watch grass grow.

    Gratuitous rip-off.

    If you've seen Michael Haneke's Funny Games you've seen the original and far superior movie that this is based on. Its only redeeming feature is the largely solid performances from the leads. Uninspired, less crafted, and gratuitous version of its more illustrious predecessor.

    Hat's Off To You Guys

    I respect the hell out of this film and it's makers. I heard about this film through a friend and read a little back story about how it was made by a few friends on a very tight budget. That being said, these guys took the knowledge and creativity they had and combined it with every resource at their disposal to create a very watchable feature film. It's people like this and films like this that truly demonstrate what it means to be a 'filmmaker'. Nowadays, there's so much special effects combined with such big budgets that you don't need to be creative to make a film. Look at Bad Boys 2 for example - $130 million dollar budget. You give me that amount of money, I can make that film - throw in some explosions, gun fights and car chases and there you go. These guys didn't have those sort of resources or any funding and they still managed to make a good flick. You guys truly inspire eager filmmakers, and I'm anxious to see what you can do if and when you get a sizable budget. Good luck to you guys, and again, Hat's Off!

    Not bad for a low budget movie

    It honestly wasn't as bad as some reviewers stated. It wasn't fantastic but definitely not the worst I've seen. The beginning of the film started well. The acting was believable however, it did get a bit over dramatic in the middle and end. The typical antagonist furrowed brow look. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this. Its definitely worth a look
