4.5 stars. 5150 is effectively gory beyond most B productions films of this genre. It's unsettling from the beginning and tension is taut until the final scene. I expected it to be supernatural horror or a thrilling slash-fest after reading the synopsis. This film is neither of those. It's a relatively gritty crime-thriller with tension remaining taut up until the final scene. That's certainly applaudible, but with a short runtime it wasn't a major feat. Some care was put into conveying a back story for each of our main characters creating a nice crescendo for us to ride until the end of the film. By the end, we see the characters in a new, and very different light. Is some ways the film was predictable, formulaic. When the landlord character is introduced, I knew where PART of the plot was headed but I still unaware I was watching a crime-thriller until later. Overall, the writing is still fairly good with believable script that simply lacks style at times.
I would recommend this one to friends with express interest in the genre who are having difficulty finding something "new" to watch.

Really bad movie. First off,the bgm is really annoying,you barely hear what the actors are saying. Second, the part where one lady is supposed to be well versed in crime scene shows left the part that you're not supposed to touch a dead persons body with your bare hands,let alone the bag where you put the body in,,or the fact that you have to tie all your hair while you're dismembering the body to not leave any dna trace. Lastly,the ending sucks and leaves you hanging. So im sorry to say that this movie deserves the 3.0 rating or even less.

I had seen an early cut but watched the final one last night. A big shout out to the filmmakers, cast and crew who really pulled this off (and in only 5 days!) I had no idea what to expect and was constantly surprised by all the plot and character twists.
