A low budget, low rent slasher flick. As is usual for this particular genre, the film is blighted by poor scripting and poor acting, not to mention a godawful soundtrack as another reviewer has mentioned. It's automatically bottom-of-the-barrel stuff, albeit with a single exception: somebody brought in cast members Eric Roberts and Michael Berryman, teamed them up with lots of humorous one-liners, and made the film mildly watchable as a result.Truthfully, Roberts and Berryman are the only good things in this. The humour they bring is a lot of fun, even if their character motivations remain resolutely unbelievable. Elsewhere it's just bad acting, random sex and drug scenes, and characters being irritating. There are some strong gore and torture scenes but they're not dwelt on too much, thank goodness, alongside some choice nudity from the actresses. It's all very poor indeed, apart from the scenes with Roberts and Berryman.
... View MoreDirector Tom DeNucci, working from his own well-crafted script, brings one of the most disturbingly frightening films in decades to the screen. Eric Roberts gives one of his finest performances as Walter in the horrific story of a self-storage maze where madness reigns supreme. The suspense is unrelenting and the terror so intense it's unimaginable. The director masterfully creates an atmosphere of dread and stark raving fear, never falling into any cliché trap. The characters are well developed and we soon to care for them deeply as they fight for their very lives. A stunning film of unknown terror and overwhelming tension, this is one motion picture that demands to be seen.
... View MoreI watched this film because Eric Roberts is king of B-movies. But this doesn't even rank as a B-movie. This was incredibly hard to watch. *Spoiler Alert* I'm not supposed to root for the shady guys who steal organs from the innocent, right? But, I wanted everyone of those so- called college kids (yeah, sure they were college students) to bite it and have their bodies harvested down to bones and muscles. They were all so extremely unlikable - starting with security guard slacker and every single one of his idiot friends. The acting throughout this film was pathetic. The script was nonsense and the ending crap.It was nice to see Michael Berryman in a speaking role though. Usually he's relegated to grunts. Overall, one should avoid this clunker at all cost. And Tom DeNucci should find himself some classes or try another line of work.
... View MoreWalter and Trevor have quite a nasty but lucrative business going in black market organs. They set up at self storage facilities, do some business, then move on. They often supply Jonah, who has connections and access to lots of money.Jake overhears Walter tell Trevor that they are leaving, and will fire Jake. So Jake sets up a party at the facility. In the process, he ruins the product that Walter and Trevor were going to sell to Jonah. To make things even worse, Jonah is coming that same night with money and people to collect the organs and whatever else was involved.When Walter and Trevor go to check the product, they find that Jake has more or less destroyed all the organs being carried by the kidnapped victims. So the obvious choice is to harvest the organs from the drugged out fools at Jake's party.The idiots continue to party. Trevor starts knocking them out and bringing them in for harvesting. After everyone else is captured or dead, Jake, Freddie, and Sara-Marie counter-attack using weapons stolen from someone's storage locker.Who will come out of this happy (or alive)? Jake and friends? Jonah's mob? Walter and Trevor? None of the above? -----Scores------Cinematography: 5/10 Varies from sub-VHS quality to nice and clear. This is a bit jarring at times.Sound: 3/10 OK, except that the actors speak now and then, and the incidental music is played.Acting: 2/10 This is a vanity film for Tom DeNucci, who is not even convincing as a drugged out idiot. Veterans Eric Roberts and Michael Berryman certainly know how to act, but the weak star/director/writer did not get much out of them. Jonathan Silverman seemed to phone his performance in, but from a separate movie.Screenplay: 2/10 The ideas were not too bad, but the execution was utter and complete nonsense. The ending was the worst, worse than all the rest of this wretched film put together.
