Bradford Maxwell Let's start with what I liked about the movie: 1. The filming quality was better than B-rated. 2. The ending didn't leave it up to the viewer to determine what happened. 3. Mischa Barton finally gets what's coming to her for destroying the OC (I liked that show when I was 13)Here's what I didn't like: 1. Robert Knepper deserved a better death. Constantly changing camera angles cheapens the experience. 2. The villain turns out to be a pudgy, out of shape guy with an obnoxious accent. Not sure how he managed to look chubby in a baggy shirt but he pulled it off. And somehow this love handle suffering fiend that looks to be suffering from muscular dystrophy is able to overpower EVERYONE, even to the point where apparently he holds a victim upside down by the feet. Even more impressive, considering the hilarious way that he runs, he's able to catch up to his prey even though they took an elevator that had more than enough time to climb 3 or more flights of stairs. But I could be wrong. He could just be a fat guy with an intense cardio routine. 3. For a storage facility that looks to be fairly new and technologically advanced, they have the most inconvenient lighting system. (You'll see what I mean if you watch)All in all, I didn't think it was completely dreadful but I wouldn't watch it again or ever recommend it to a friend.
emberstonepierce Although this is a plot we've all seen many times before in previous films, this movie harks back to the style of the '80's horror film and is surprisingly entertaining. With an interesting setting and cast, it brings a modern twist to the concept of people being trapped and stalked. Although not really very frightening (more of a thriller really, with little blood and gore) it's a film that keeps you on the edge of your seat and contains some shocking twists and turns as the narrative progresses. The finale is well done and doesn't leave unanswered questions for the viewer, really making you think about the fate of the characters and the choices they made.
Bloodmarsh Krackoon We're closing in on Halloween, which means every horror director on the planet is doing everything they can to get their, more than likely, terrible film ready for release. Which also means that every bad actor and actress on the same planet, is doing what he/she has to do to land a role in one of these, more than likely terrible films (Hello, Mischa Barton.) So, we have 'The Hoarder.' About a group of strangers trapped in a storage facility. This has been done numerous times before, and never really reaches it's full potential, because every director tries to do too much with such simple material. 'Storage 24' is one of the more recent attempts, which I have yet to rate/review. Let me just say, I'd probably go with that one over 'The Hoarder.' What really hurts this film, is the characters and acting. There isn't a single likable character in the film, and each actor/actress seems to be hell bent on showing us just how terrible they really can be. I'm reading reviews about how unbelievably bad Mischa Barton has become - and the first thought that pops into my head is, when has she ever been good? Did I miss the single moment in the history of cinema, where she wasn't bad?As for the rest of the cast - Jamie Bacon goes all out trying to make a name for himself, by being the worst actor in the film, while Andrew Buckley waddles around, chasing people at a pace that is probably equivalent to a crippled man in a wheel chair. Anything this film had going for it, up until you discover the 'twist,' is erased, when you realize you're going to see more of Andrew Buckley's blubber flapping around, as he struggles to capture his next victim.Random Ramblings of a Madman: Andrew Buckley, please, for the love of Jesus Christ - do not ever run again in a film or in public. I hate being the one to tell you this, but you're fat - and you can't act.
Finfrosk86 Frightfest 2015! Whoop! -Is where I saw this.This one is kind of uneven. Some parts are pretty cool and quite entertaining, other parts though, they are not that great. I loved seeing Robert Knepper! I was a big fan of his on Prison Break, shame he doesn't get more work. (he alone bumps this up a star, that's how much I love that dude!)With some minor changes it could have been a lot better. You are wondering what's going on for most of the movie, but the pay off isn't that good, unfortunately. I did not like the ending, either. It's one of those movies, where something just isn't quite right. Doens't quite fit. Plus the fact that the plot it self isn't quite right. It is a little creepy in a couple of scenes, but it's just not enough.
