It was amazing watching so many ridiculous scenes in this movie. Right from the start the guy starts killing people that just "disappear" from the story line like they never happened. When you watch a movie you expect to people react to situations just like you would, these people reacted like they were mentally challenged. You spend your whole time thinking: why didn't they do this or that, why can't they tell why all this is happening to them? I mean, you your whole bank account disappear with all kind of strange charges couldn't your first thought would be to call or go to the bank? Nope, they just start arguing about his "gambling" and "drinking" habits. Anyway i just finished watching since i had it taped and was able to fast forward at the end.
It was refreshing to have a movie from The Asylum that was an original movie, and not just a lower budgeted version of a forthcoming blockbuster - as they tend to do.
I will admit when I saw it said The Asylum on the screen as the first thing, I was about to already give up on the movie before it had even started. But I decided to let it run anyway, and good thing that I did, because "4Closed" turned out to actually be rather enjoyable.
The story is about a family that makes a purchased on a foreclosed house from the bank that seems too good to be true. Upon the day of their great move, it turns out that the former owner of the house is still living there and refuse to give up on his home. With the police on their side, the family have the guy evicted and they can move into their new dream house. But the former owner is going to let his property find its way to other hands without a fight.
The movie stated that it was based on true events, of that I am not sure just how much was based on the story or how accurate it was, because I am not familiar with a story such as this having happened for real.
The Asylum had upped their game and brought a good ensemble of acting talents to the movie; Marlee Matlin and James Denton did have good chemistry together. It was a shame that Paul Sorvino didn't have a bigger role than he had. I was somewhat skeptic about Jamie Kennedy in the role of the crazed home owner, but he actually pulled it off quite nicely, and this is a good step away from the usual comedy stuff that he has to his name.
There is a good pace to the storyline and the movie does keep building up tension. So thumbs up to director Nick Lyon for this.
"4Closed" is a good movie that is entertaining and does have an interesting story. Definitely a bright moment for The Asylum here.

Bought the DVD at Dollar General in the Halloween assortment, not expecting much since it's an Asylum film; but it was not bad. Jamie Kennedy is very believable as a psychopath, one of his best roles I might add. He was extremely convincing. It really was a great little made for tv movie.
If you get a chance to catch this on tv or find in a discount bin, it's worth the 90 minute runtime. Of all the films that Asylum puts out, this is truly one of the best I've seen. The acting was not terrible either, in fact it was pretty good. Great thriller.

The actors really "faked' it through out the movie. Movie very predictable. Awful acting! Don't know what happen to Marlee Marlin this was not the role for her; her acting was not so good in this movie. The movie was not real convincing. I liked the concept but some of the scenes were ridicules and horrible. The writers made all the actors have lack of knowledge or intelligence and made the actors have no common sense. Low budget movie with seasoned actors. I gather because it's low budget the actors had to act low budget.
