This is a really solid horror, with plenty of suspense, interesting character moments and some really brilliant acting. It's well shot, the scenario builds slowly and it's very creepy from the start. As the story progresses it becomes downright disturbing and throughout the harrowing third act I was on the edge of my seat. Recommend!

A young couple is held tied up in the basement of some people of German descent. How they got there is told as a flashback as we see Mark Crowe (Michael Lieber) the world's worst stand-up comedian and girlfriend Jill (Loren Peta) rent a room from Henry (Christopher Craig) and Josephine (Antonia Davies) who are eccentric in their ways. Strange things go on in the house that would allow anyone familiar with the genre to know exactly what is going on. And since we already know they wind up in the basement, the film supplies its own plot spoiler.The characters were irritating by design, even our protagonist Jill, wasn't a joy either. Knowing what happens kills the film. The whole thing with the baby crying was a dead give away.Guide: F-word, sex, rape.

I don't really know where to begin with this one. All was very obvious from the offset and any element of suspense or surprise there might have been was ruined with the reveals of the 'flash forward' that littered this film.Just an odd, pointless piece of film making for me. Odd editing and overall a waste of 80 odd minutes. This was actually quite a nasty film and not in the horror aspect, but in the aspect it was ever made.

A bit slow to start with and not overly captivating until short exposures into what is to come, flash, they keep you interested and the last half an hour is horribly good.. This film went from what seemed like it might be a monotone drab, expectedly boring film to a thriller/horror with a few rather disturbing scenes, that old man is probably going to be in my worst nightmares, I do feel disturbed for life after watching this, and psychological thrillers are my favourite genre, so.... A satisfying end, exposing how vastly different Jill was, to who she was when they first moved in with the older couple. The old man is an actor I would like to see more of, IF I can get past the hauntings of this film, he is a great actor. The main girl Jill, is really good too, she is very believable, the rest just do their jobs.This has the squirm factor that may trigger some people, not for a family sit down!
