Directed by Andy Hurst (who also was the writer of the Wild Things Series). Right from the onset the audience can tell this is a very low budget B rated film. The actors have absolutely no emotional armor to them. As an avid film watcher I like to see the actors show raw, emotional vulnerability whether it be facial, dialogue or body language. Every performer comes across rigid, flat and campy in their scenes.The editing is so choppy and bad you can tell in the opening scenes the character Brandon has a shirt on with a design on the left side, 20 seconds later in the next scene the design is on the right side, (look closely). This insight, though powerful, isn't going to turn you into an overnight editing success. There is so much to learn in terms of visual storytelling -- pacing, film language, montage theory -- techniques that have been invented, used, and transformed for over a century. Editing is no cut and paste job; it's a complicated and intricate art form, but knowing the difference between good and bad editing, especially three Oscar-winners' definition of "good" and "bad", is a great place to start. Such an absolute cheesy and abortion ripoff of 2004 Saw. The similarities are endless with a game being played between 6 individuals, weird and violent traps, gore and twists involved. Trust me when I say you are better off seeing anything but this dumpster fire.

Well, not much more I can say that hasn't already been said. Bad lines, horrible acting, you could see the ending long before it got close. Bad games, very unrealistic. chains around a door that wouldn't keep my six year old in, nobody thinks to pickup the GUN, *SPOILER* (maybe..) and the whole, "Im in the control room but I'm not gonna break everything around me" bit was just stupid. I can see why everyone is so angry, it could have been a real movie, if there was ONE competent person working for the film crew and directors. Although it was a good movie to do my homework while it was on, I got disgusted so much I quit paying attention and got my work done. Only saving grace was a FEW gross scenes, but not many. Don't waste your time unless you REALLY want to waste your time!And now, I'm off to watch "Are You Scared 2"....Looks as bad as the first so far!

A number of people find themselves trapped inside a building, where supposedly they entered a reality show.Thankfully, the characters aren't as vacuous as actual reality show contestants, unlike in say, Wrong Turn two. Unfortunately that's all this film has going for it.The characters are still very stupid however, mainly shown in, er, everything they're doing, but particularly in the sense that they find themselves in a long-abandoned building, after abduction, without any production crew around yet somehow think they are shooting a reality show.(Minor spoiler) Can it get worse? Only a subplot about the detective following the villain who fails to contribute anything to the plot could make the film worse! Unfortunately, that's exactly what happens!

One uneventful Saturday night, I settle down on the couch with a good snack and some pop before grabbing my remote to find a free movie on Comcast's OnDemand section. I scroll down alphabetically and soon see the title, "Are You Scared." I read the synopsis and the sound of teenagers trapped in an abandoned warehouse by some psycho was quite familiar, but I decided to give it a shot.The movie starts off with a a teenage girl (probably 17 or so), barefoot, hands tied behind her back and wearing some sort of torture device on her neck. A tape comes on saying that she press the red and green buttons in the correct order (in under a minute) to live. First she walks across a room with broken glass scattered everywhere and pushes the first button. She makes it back across to the other button which is located at the bottom of a fish tank. Time running out, she cries out in desperation and lunges her head into the fish tank, only to quickly pull out in pain as what she thought was water was actually acid.It was the next scene when the detectives were investigating the girl's body and crime scene that I had to turn it off. The acting was mediocre and the chemistry between the characters was a textbook case of there being 'history' between the male and female detective.This is such a blatant knock-off of SAW that I am utterly surprised that there is no lawsuit in the works. Take my advice, don't waste your time.
