This wasn't too bad of a movie. Kind of a low-budget old- school horror film. I've seen so many scathing reviews on the plot, background story, and characters. How about the positives? I thought it was decently put together, like at the very end, just when you think you have it -BOOM- you're wrong again. Jacob's character WAS hyped up before it as this shady dark depressing creepy person, so you already knew it was going to happen. Semi-predictable. I will admit I was wrong in guessing what was going to happen at least three times while watching this. I will agree with the people who say it was worth a watch, but to each their own.

What a toxic waste of matter this film was. I thank god I got to see it thanks to TD. I would have been livid if I sat through this after shelling out ten bucks or so. The acting is god awful, the effects putrid, and the story blah....I almost lost my girlfriend over this.HazMatter of fact...after the first ten minutes in, a silly prank scene, my girlfriend looked over at me and smirked then shrugged. Right then I knew she was already disappointed in my nightly film selection.HazMatter of fact...When the character that ends up being "hazmat" first decides to go bonkers and ax dudes, for no discernible reason, I heard my girl tsk and say "why would he be doing that?" I looked at her she smirked and shrugged again.Hazmatter of fact...By the time a dudes head gets chopped off and the special effect is basically a basketball painted skin tone with a rubber face attached...which I think even had different color eyes than the actor...My girlfriend said that's it, got up, walked to the front door, turned smirked and shrugged again, and then walked out. I still haven't heard from her.

I don't usually write reviews online, but I won tickets to a private screening of this movie and I thought it was the least I could do. I wasn't expecting much since I knew that this was a low-budget movie, but I was very pleasantly surprised.The movie is about one of those prank reality shows like "Scare Tactics." They are setting up this guy up so that they can scare him at an abandoned chemical factory that he thinks is haunted. His dad died at the plant, so he is already not completely there. Why they would have thought it was a good idea to make fun of this guy, I have no idea. He looked creepy even before he started to kill people.The fun really starts when they guy thinks that the prank is real and goes crazy. Since the plant is all boarded up, the rest of the crew cannot get out of the building without risking getting hacked up by him. It's a simple plot, but it works really well in a story that takes place in just one really spooky place.HazMat is an uncommon, intense horror/thriller film. This film will leave you on the edge-of-your-seat, rethinking the whole idea of a "practical" joke. There's not one moment when I felt bored or I looked at my watch to see how much time was left. If I have one complaint is that it should have been a little longer, but then maybe it would have dragged. I can definitely see this villain becoming like Jason or Michael Myers, that you want to see coming back to life again and again. ... A definite MUST SEE!

I had the pleasure of viewing this film in a private screening. This is about a reality prank show and how it back fires on the crew and participants. The guy who is "pranked" goes crazy and it's a roller coaster ride from there. I was surprised at how well written and acted this film is, considering that it's a low budget film. All elements of a good horror movie are there. This is like the first Halloween or Friday the 13th..it's just that good. You will be at the edge of your seat and find yourself rooting for characters. Only problem is that I'm not sure if you will be rooting for the good or bad guys! When you see it at a theater near you, you have to go see it if you are a true horror film fan or even if you're not.
