how someone can pull such a bunch of crap and believe there was "writing" involved. Take all the clichés avoided by even the most amateurish wannabe, cram them into a night-shot film with one of the most dreadful lighting for night I've ever witnessed, throw in some sloppy characters without soul or possible empathy-connections, spend a large sum of money in film, lighting and post, and you have -mileage may vary- this "film". I feel sorry for the poor actors that may have thought this was a opportunity to do a nice job. If you teach whatever you teach, you can use this thing to show your students haw not to do things in life.

I found this movie to be very entertaining. I got it through amazon delivered to oz. Picture and sound quality excellent. I nearly didn't buy it because of the reviews. I'm glad I didn't take notice. It was in tradition of the gritty chainsaw massacre genre. It has a place only shelf in my horror library. The scene where the first girl is placed into the box is done extremely well without speaking just with music showed their desperateness and despair. I did believe and care for the characters. I also sat on the edge of my seat. A very excellent entertaining horror movie. Granted the first five minutes had me worried. But it really does take off.

For the ignorant people in here saying this movie hasn't been released & questioning how they managed to watch it before they saw it at some "special screening in Washington" garbage..... This movie was a straight to DVD release & has been sitting on Blockbuster Video shelves since at least July, 2009, if not earlier.As for the movie itself - don't bother. It's a horrible rip-off of other movies in the same vein & not done nearly as well. As others have mentioned - plot holes big enough that you could drive a bus through, incoherent storyline, below par acting at best & overall terrible quality movie. This one is destined for the $2 bargain bin and even that would be over charging, to be honest.

This was by far one of the worst attempts at psychological horror i have seen that actually tried to be serious. The sound and dialog was extremely sub-par, even for a lower budget film. No character development leave you not caring for any of the major characters, and the numerous plot holes leaves you guessing half the movie. Avoid at all costs. As for anyone that says to see it for the fun factor or anything like that, I would definitely look elsewhere, as the visual effects and gore are horrible and sometimes non-existent. The obvious seems to escape the characters at many times and make them seem extremely one dimensional and forced.
