denise-hasircioglu "If this sh*t happened back in the medieval times or whatever, you couldn't call the cops, there were no security guards." Really? What kind of amateur script writing is this? My seven year old niece can write better material than that. If a guy tries to steal your car and "kidnap" your girlfriend. By all means, stab him in the stomach.. But don't assume you killed him please... Secondly WHY make the motel manager this creepy serial psycho killer type when you're not even gonna go anywhere with it.I don't have anything bad to say about the characters, considering how little they must have been paid. Spoilt rich girl and moneyless boyfriend trying to prove his worthiness. But they could have done so much more with the topic. Trying to survive with no gas and having no survival experience. Instead, there is a multiple homicide {or suicide?) situation JUST as they are about to get saved. What kind of an ending is that?I kept thinking there was gonna be an explanation to that ending after the credits rolled I sat their looking at the names of people who worked on the film. Taking note to never watch a film with the same cameraman again. So, script: Bad Camera and editing: Bad Acting: Average Topic: Good Ending: HorrendousI give this a 1 out of 10 in the hopes that the director makes better movies in his future career, after seeing how he failed so badly on this one.

blue141 I actually liked this film. Most people I know really do argue like these two people did. They also showed how little any of us know about survival. Turning on and off flashlights, not using the wood on the fire to cook with. Ignoring the leach at the hotel was very stupid. The only problem I have with this film, is just after the half way point, that shot of the summer cabin at night showed electric porch lights on after the power was off. Wasting food, not taking into account things might disappear for a while, is something most of us do every day, so it's not unreasonable to see they might do the same. Flashing cash when the hotel desk clerk said he took credit, is just plain dumb.The guy carjacking and wanting some sex in the process is very believable. It's just those lights that get me, that made me laugh, and after that I took the movie with a pinch of salt.

lensta71 The movie Empty is far too flawed to be considered great, considering a well financed production could have made it great, and thus one must at least warrant this attempt at B-movie Scifi as an original success. The lead couple were attractive enough to please the eye, and the plot had quite a few 'I know what's going to happen next' moments that usually turned out different somehow. The filming was amateur, yet the acting was decent. The two main characters spent a lot of time talking on the phone to family that you will never see. The bad people weren't scary enough. Despite all the flaws I could continue with, the movie was engaging, it gradually lifted the uncertainty of the plot as the movie progressed, and the ending was profoundly believable. I give Empty a five out of ten only because it could have been a seven had they sold the script to a better production company.

neil-upto11 The basic notion is actually a decent-enough premise for a story: a gas crisis leads to a rapid breakdown of society. Fair enough.However, the acting is so amateurish and the sets so poor that it really does have all the production values of a mid-range porn flick. To be fair, the female lead seems to have sufficient credibility but literally everyone else is awful.The music consists of some 'Deer Hunter'-inspired acoustic guitar plucking and is often accompanied by extended scenes of the countryside. It feels like an advert for a 10-cd, easy-listening pack.I thoroughly recommend not bothering with this; it is utterly unrewarding as a film experience.
