magiwarwolf-08082 Our friend Warwick is a delightful host, and he's always dedicated to entertaining his... Guests. There's so many twists and turns that we never even come full circle. It's well worth the watch.
gamertaboo Well I watched the trailer and couldn't believe my eyes NILES starring in a serious role?!?! (he may have starred in many for all I know, if so I apologize!)Anyway, I had to see this. And what can I say, at first when I saw the trailer I sort figured out how I thought the movie would go, and boy was I..... WRONG. This movie has some twists and turns, it's written fairly well. There's a couple cringe-y parts in there but they are meant to be there. I can honestly say, I never expected where this movie went. I didn't see half of it coming, and it was great. This movie is unique. The acting was superb. I only wish I could watch David Hyde Pierce star in more films like this.This truly is a hidden gem. And don't take my word for it, look at the score up at the top yourself.... that isn't just handed out to ANY movie on IMDB... I hope you Enjoy!
carbuff Whoa, this really caught me off guard. This film is brilliant, but very disturbing. Although it may reflect my somewhat soft constitution, in addition to being a thriller, I would also tag this as pretty realistic "lite" horror. I truly can't think right off hand of another film that so convincingly captures utter psychopathic insanity as well as this minor masterpiece. Just super creepy. If you even approach being normal, you should probably brace yourself a bit before ingesting this well-done but rough and unpleasant mind trip, since, while the physical violence is quite subdued, the psychological violence is pretty intense. If you stay with it all the way to the bitter end, it just keeps taking twists that nobody could see coming. I must say that sitting down for this experience right before trying to get a good night's sleep is a mistake I wish I hadn't made, but then maybe I'm just a wimp. The only way to find out is to watch it for yourself.
Johan Dondokambey The concept is really nice for a creepy story, though it's built on a common basic premise of cops and robbers. The movie gets a bit slowed down on the nut-house world of the host a bit too long. I see that the creators are trying to set those scenes as the focus, but those long duration, and the quite scary images of the last 'guests' that should be disturbing loses their influence when just about half the duration, they turn out to be fake and makeup. Frankly, for me those turns out the mood of the movie from scary to something off. But the twists on the chess play and the robbery plot is nice mix to the whole story, and also the possibility of another twisted 'party' on the ending lifts up the mood of being a scary flick. The acting is a bit below average, though just as expected. A 5 out of 10 score is from me.
