An implausible yet intriguing set up is fatally undermined by a terrible script and plot holes you could drive a stolen VW van through.Because the actors have no decent lines they all resort to shouting and gurning, which the director allows them to do. Presumably because he was trying to deflect attention away from the absurd plot developments which spoil what could have been a decent British attempt at the torture porn genre.If that's what floats your boat then you might still get something out of it. Personally, I prefer my horror to be frightening as opposed to merely repellent.

The tension and gore were enjoyable enough, but the ending just left me feeling, "WTF?" Perhaps the version I'd seen was "incomplete"? I dunno', but I had -no- idea what the ending was supposed to mean - and with that, let me state before I get into it that in this review, I -am- giving it away, such as it is, so don't read on if you still plan to see this claptrap.To think that some mutilated cannibal girl could so easily and completely overpower and obliterate a relatively young and healthy art student with no apparent health problems or major blood loss - it stretches the limits of even B-grade horror. It just made no sense whatsoever. And you can tell pretty much from the first few seconds of the film that you would be encountering the missing girl at some point. You knew right away who the "2 or 3 sets of clothes" had belonged to the moment they were found.The experience of the movie itself was enjoyable enough, but if you like your movies to make sense, the ending of this one just totally ruins it. Great watch if you don't care about that, though. Decent enough acting (not the best on all fronts, but not the worst, either), decent enough gore and such - just not the best plot resolution I've seen.

The movie starts out with a news report about an unsolved case of a missing little girl who disappeared many years ago. A bunch of grungy, homeless art students in England decide to take refuge in a (seemingly) abandoned house at night. They discover scratch marks (indicating a past escape attempt) and bloodstained clothes. Yet they still choose to stay in the house.Smart move. They wake up the next day with all the windows boarded up and barred with steel. They come across a key & hidden holes in the wall.Main victims/deaths. I don't remember their names so I just gave them nicknames: Grungemaster (gets his eye cut out and is unintentionally beaten to death by BKS and SBG),British equivalent of Kristen Stewart (ends up being the last girl and cannibalized), Bitchy Grunge Chick (gets her legs sawed off), and sniveling blonde guy with bad teeth (gets his hand cutoff).Long story short, the house is secretly inhabited by this creepy old guy. Creepy Old Guy has a lot of medical equipment which he uses to torture, kill, and dismembers people for random body parts.(The motives behind this are hard to get and all the audience is given is that it has something to do with his father's experience as a soldier in WW2.) One by one everyone suffers some kind of torture and dies. The "last girl" out of the cast who was close to making an escape is eventually dragged by Creepy Old Guy into a dark, dingy room. A feral-looking young woman lurks in the corner, who then crawls over in an animalistic manner, and (it's implied) eats her alive. The shocking twist DUNDUNDUN is that the cannibal girl is the same one who was kidnapped and presumed dead for years, and that she was the one who had left the keys/tools for future captives to try and escape. I wasn't expecting a whole lot since this is a horror movie, but they could have tried harder. It's very low budget and the acting isn't very good. This could have been a little better if they put as much effort into the story, production, and the acting as they did into the "shock" factor.

Though the beginning seems very strong and I kinda hoped it would try and stay as focused throughout its course. Unfortunately it lost a bit of its drive. Which had not only to do with the fact, that it became predictable, but was also short on original ideas. And no one does not necessarily come hand in hand with the other. A movie can be predictable, but still have good ideas at hand.This seemed to have lost its way after the first 10-15 minutes. The characters are drawn strong enough to at least care for them. But they are not really portrayed that good enough, to elevate the movie above its central idea. Good intentions, but the script could have done with a bit of re-work ...
