applecrunchvape I watched this with an open mind, being an Saw geek, i kind of knew what to expect in the blurb but thought i would give this a chance. A few problems i found with this film. I never really got to like or love the characters, i do not put that down to really poor acting (it wasn't great to be honest). but considering the goal was to last 24 hours alive, i had no insight as to why they were chosen, they were not likable people. For me its a one watch wonder. It could have been a masterpiece if it was more thought provoking and realistic. But a lot of the time extremely distressing things were happening , yet half the people involved either didn't seem that bothered or just looked lost in the role they should have been portraying. If this is your kind of subgenre of horror give it a watch but don't expect magic. I have seen many low budget films, Colin for example (which was not too good) which is stated to have a budget of just 45 pounds. That jumped hoops over this film. Thankyou for reading
Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) This is like a high-school drama class production with 1980's CGI and 1990's costume gore effects. The trailer is more exciting. At least it's a short length so you don't waste too much of your time. 4/10
irishjenna We've seen this one before, a group of strangers in a locked room with no idea how they got there, why they are there, or how they are connected. Bad acting, bad lighting and awful camera work. They are being infected with a virus and a voice that sounds like an annoying British Richard Dawkins toys with them. I got halfway through and could no longer stand the agony. Do yourself a favor and watch similar but better films like Saw, Cube, Exam, Circle (2015) or really ANYTHING else but this!
vengeance20 Found this in Asda a few weeks ago & never got round to watching it until today. The film is about a group of 12 people who wake up in a warehouse building with no idea how they got there. They then learn that each of them has been injected with a killer virus & only have 24 hours to live. However, only 1 of the victims can be left alive & the rules of the game are for 1 of the 12 victims to either kill off the whole group or let the virus kill them off until the last victim is standing & in doing so get the antidote & can escape!The concept was similar to that of the SAW Franchise, though the SAW Franchise is better than this. I found the film to be pretty average at best in terms of story, plotting & effects. It was alright to watch & pretty short for a 74 minute film, but just didn't really seem as good as it let on to be. I was expecting it to be abit more bloody & gory, though it is a 15 rated film, I was still expecting some real level of gore to be present in the film. It was bloody, but not bloody enough. The few good things I liked about the film were the creepy voice on the phone, The military style typing screen popping up every time the victim(s) got killed off was a nice little feature to the film, the military theme & the warehouse isolation, though I'm sorting of pushing it with those last 2 though I did sort like though redeeming qualities the voice on the phone was pretty cool! The film being set in Ireland was a change though not something I cared about, though it makes a change from it being American that's for sure. But it didn't make the film any better. The twist at the end wasn't that predictable though it was something that got me wondering as the finale started to unfold. It was alright, but not believable or plausible it seemed abit pointless actually but I don't know, I just was half & half with this film as a whole...I overall would give this a generous 5/10 It was alright, average but not the best or greatest I've seen, but an alright quick watch to kill time.
