If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
What makes these hoarded people so scary and deadly with wired-shut mouths? We keep seeing them hovering over victims, apparently eating them, and how so? And what happens when the hoarder runs out of rooms to keep each individual in? As for the opening, no one, especially a girl, would just stay put holding up a lighter in the dark while her friend goes back to turn the lights back on.
How good can a film be when mostly it entails a group of people walking around in a building which at times is semi-dark or dark dark? Better than you think. Ella is marrying a wealthy banker, but she is a tad suspicious about him, so recruits a shady friend to prise open his storage unit and read his secret diary. When they arrive at the depository she misreads the number, and instead of going to the third floor below ground they go to the lower basement where unsuspectingly they open the door to Hell. What appears to be a sub-human creature grabs and kills the unfortunate Molly, leaving Ella to flee to a higher level where she meets up with a corrupt detective, a morphine addict, an advertising executive, and a creepy guy she had met on the way down who is actually living in a unit having lost his job and been kicked out by his landlord.What happens next is predictable but not so, there is a twist in the tale, and if it were not for the unhappy ending, it would earn a full 10 points. Of course, for some people an unhappy ending is really a happy ending, and vice versa.
There was a time when Mischa Barton was thought to be the next up and coming starlet in Hollywood.Those days are far behind and in recent years she's been stuck with being something of scream-queen in low-budget direct to DVD horrors, but the prolem is that for a scream-queen she barely screams heck she barely reacts.I am unsure why she's constantly cast but then I suppose most people would have had the common sense that when they read the script to this movie they would realised that it would suck there and then, but I suppose that is why she doesn't really bother she knows it wouldn't help and I suppose a paycheck is a paycheck after all.And I suppose she is no worse than the rest of the cast in this movie, Robert Knepper who was brilliant in Prison Break feels like he's sleep-walking through the movie, better yet sleep-acting.If you want something that's sort of reminiscent with this (except 5 times better) 'Creep (2004)' with Franka Potente is a good choice.If you want something where Misca Barton is actually good then 'The Assassination of a High School President (2008)' is a good choice.
This film in theory should be amazing and creepy as hell. Instead, the only thing scary is the acting by the mono tone Mischa Barton. Three minutes in and I am in pain watching her. Ten minutes in and I realise that, in order to make it through this film I will have to pretend its a spoof comedy and pray she dies at the end for my satisfaction. I am only thirty minutes in and more bad actors have presented themselves which leads me to believe it was the director who must have been drunk on set to allow this film to go into production. To summarise, storage units are creepy, its a great story line but utterly ruined by acting that could have been out staged by a school play starring five year olds. If I make it through the rest of the film without chewing my own arm off out of frustration i shall include an update, if i don't....
