There is a certain concept that I love seeing within movies, when a group of people wake up in unfamiliar territory and have to participate in some dangerous activity such as a game.Obviously the SAW franchise comes under this category, the Cube movies and the brilliant Circle (2015) and The Human Race (2013).This is one of those and I was immediatly thrilled upon realising. I just love the idea I find it fascinating, how people react, the different personalities and the ruthlessness of people.House of 9 see's a group of people locked inside a house together unable to escape. Upon awaking the instructions are announced, only one can leave and they'll win five million pounds.Inevitably it doesn't take long before things to fall apart and the way it happens sadly could be better, but is still entertaining.This British made thriller stars Kelly Brook, Dennis Hopper and the last Doctor Who Peter Capaldi.Despite it's flaws I enjoyed this and was very impressed with the movies closing scene. Though it doesn't match the dizzying heights of the other examples of this concept it's still a passable movie.The Good:Great ideaFantastic finaleThe Bad:Questionable executionHoppers accent is horrificThings I Learnt From This Movie:Guns in movies are magic and have unlimited ammoKelly Brook can act without showing boobage

There has been many movies like this one out. You take a group of people, stick them together, make a game out of it, mostly everyone dies. The most popular out at this time is the Saw series. But that series really relies on the gore factor to make the viewers jump. This one, not so much. There was a few pretty gruesome scenes, but for the most part the movie messes with your mind; not your eyes. The cast was decent. They had some girls in their clearly for eye candy, but at least they could act. Dennis Hopper was an interesting touch. I will also point out that I enjoyed Raffaello Degruttols's role as the cop. The story of the film was pretty good, but some parts were a little boring. You kind of wanted to see more action than dialog, but like I said before, I believe they were just trying to play with your mind. The film takes you all over the place making you wonder what will happen at the end. See if you can guess it and then be prepared for the real ending.

OK, with all that booze around,why wouldn't they just make Molotov cocktails and blow the doors down, they also had cloth and lighters..all you need that is th e one thing that made this story so incredible, besides the lousy script,plot,actors endless silence with awful organ music. it must have had a budget of $1,000 dollars because no wardrobe expense, location cost(a municipal bldg in Romania? set decoration expenses, unnecessary etc.i'd rather have root canal than see this again also,the title House of 9 is such a bland name for a story that is not about fashion or culinary,which the title seems to suggest,but then again that may have been the intent, to draw people into the theater.even the "special effects" were amateurishly done.what i suppose was meant to depict tears on Dennis hooper,in reality appeared as a face covered all over with sweat. it seems a shame that such a good actor as him,even took on this poorly written part,and also he is the only actor in the film i ever heard of before.

big brother meets survivor as nine people are locked in a house and told only one will live to collect the five million dollar prize.This is a been there and done that in the extreme, with riffs from other better movies stolen. Whats worse then the fact that the film is so derivative is the fact that it changes the rules a couple of times. I hate when films do that since its a clear sign that the filmmakers were not clever enough to work out a clear plot. Clkealry they didn't trust themselves to come up with a fair way to the end. Flaws aside this is still watchable in an undemanding mood-though it is quite forgettable which is good since its not something you'll recommend 4 out of 10
