davejderisi When i first heard about the plot of this movie I felt very excited and couldn't wait to buy it on blu ray. I really like horror movies where someone is found tied up or trapped in a house. Then I realized it was directed by Dean Devlin, who directed the cheesy and over the top "Geostorm" I wasn't sure what to expect since this is only the directors second feature film and its quite a genre jump from his last movie. "Bas Samaritan" isn't a bad movie, but it's definitely not a "scary" movie either. It's a susoense film, driven by many edge of your seat moments. The script is written kinda cool, how it has the two main protagonists going back and forth between places and it spands over the course of several days instead of just one night. It was also overall well made and had a confident run time. The problem, tho, is that it's not really scary and they kinda held back with violence yet wanted to give it an R rating. The movie was also boring in some parts. There is nothing to "predict" so it all becomes quite routine with a slight edge. The production values are too prominent and its almost too clean. This movie would have benefited from some grit. It wasn't until after the half way mark that the movie really started to interest me. There was one or two violent scenes that were done well but that's it and it took an hour to get to them. The acting is good though, especially from David Tennant. Good movie for light hearted horror fans but definitely nothing to write home about.

Noideax431 The very first hour of the movie was like nothing, you're just watching with no feelings and a blank face but then the story kinda starts digging, i mean you wouldn't know why the rich guy kept all these girls with him and you won't know why he liked to make horses suffer, they movie is so on the surface. But it was nice to see how realistic it was, the vibe of the movie is great and the acting was on point.I feel like if they added a few things it would have been better, but we gotta stick with what we have and i gotta say in the whole 2018 year this might be the best movie I've watched to be totally honest

bevpropst Good movie about a maniac billionaire. Yes the music was terrible, the perp was getting beaten to a full orchestra.

Carlo Salvadori This is a total letdown. It has the pace and "character development" of a crappy tv movie, full of clichès like the psycho rich billionaire, who is so unhinged that his catch phrases become involontarily hilarious pretty soon, or the clumsy hero that has become a sort of 21st century trope, exemplified in contrast by the bravado of the "damsel in distress" who hits the villain first and then excoriates the protagonist with a most brilliant line like "This is how you save someone". Too long, too slow, too predictable.
