A bit of a new style in the horror genre, you know, going for a house invasion but once at the house things go wrong, let Don't Breathe (2016) be the most well known flick. So here in this flick it's the same, things go well when a gang is trying to kidnap a girl but once abducted things go slowly wrong.For some the story will be a bit over the top because the supernatural stuff comes in and the story moves away to possession but it's worth watching because the red stuff is there and it's just on the edge of gore. kit isn't your usual possession flick coming out of Hollywood therefor it contains to much blood. It's not perfect but it is above mediocre and for horror geeks a must see.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

... View MoreI'm going to spoil a line in the first 3-4 minutes, right now.Within those minutes, one of the dudes says "there's only two outcomes to this little situation of ours. One is where we plan this properly. The second is where we don't get caught."I cannot get further into the movie because my brain is stuck on this. This is the line that was actually written and agreed upon by the creators of this movie? Nobody saw a dialogue flaw there? First of all, those 2 "outcomes" are actually one outcome that is dependent on the successful completion of planning properly (which is not an outcome AT ALL, it's a starting point).So I don't know how the rest of the movie went because i expect a movie to be best close to the beginning to keep me watching. This movie failed at that within 5 minutes. Not mention the acting left a lot to be desired.

It's Hazel who has the idea to kidnap the daughter of her father's former partner. It was he who was responsible for her father losing his business while he gained all the power in the jewellery business.Knowing there's a lot to be made the gang kidnap Katherine and take her to a warehouse to await her father paying the ransom. However, there's something wrong... Katherine's parents don't answer their phone or their cells... It's only when Ade and James return to the house that the mystery starts to reveal itself.All the actors were respectable in their roles, though Carlyn Burchell as Katherine, Steven Jon Ward as Ade, and Zino Ventura as Mark were stronger in their portrayals. It was the story and the acting which made the movie for me as the direction was pretty average and didn't really add anything.In fact, there was one scene that very nearly spoilt the entire movie for me and that was when the director decided to go slow motion to say look at my special effects aren't they nice(?) Who the hell uses slo-mo anymore(?) Then there was the decision to change a character's personality for the last segment of the film. Hazel, played strongly by Sharni Vinson suddenly becomes weak and continually scared. This makes her more like a stereotypical horror "Scream Queen". This happens so suddenly that I just stopped and wondered "What the Hell!?" There was no need for it and it weakened the story, character, and film. Bad Move.There are also a few other minor inconsistencies that you may notice, though they don't hurt the film as much as the couple mentioned above.Well worth a watch, even if it is only once. I may even watch this one again if it makes it onto any of the telly channels.
