This film is one of the extremely rare type of films that relies on complete originality and risk yet makes it into a classic that parallels those of Stephen King such as Carrie in the dynamics of the unravelling of the act, and executing the sinister but brilliant finish. As a film connoisseur I must admit this is one of the rare risks of a film that turns out brilliant, the acting was fine but the concept and the plot of this movie along with the vilanious character will absolutely leave you filled with joy if you like original concepts executed in a classical way, yet still retain a signature of the director's unconventionality and uniqueness. The vilain of this film makes you secretely cheer for him, and I would place the vilain of this film in top 20 vilains of cinema of all times.

Robert Englund is a horror legend, every horror fan knows that. However in addition to the likes of Freddy & The Phantom he's also been in a number of bad films, e.g Fear Clinic. Now I wouldn't call this a really bad movie but I just got bored with it & found myself rewinding several times because my mind had gone elsewhere. It can't make up it's mind whether it's a horror movie or a thriller & I found that frustrating. Englund himself gives a decent, creepy performance on the plus side.

Story: Ever get tired of the daily jobs? Well this shows what happens when one man gets pushed too far. When Stuart ends up in a heated argument with his boss he decides he wants to make his own film and who better to star in it than a young couple on a date. We see how Stuart puts Martin through hell to save Allie. There are twists in the story that really make a difference to anything we might have seen before. The one thing I really liked about this was the fact the couple were only just starting to date and we get to see how people can react to what could have been done while learning to trust instead of a long term couple who would never doubt each other. I was surprised with what I got here and I think this really needs to get a full cinema release, it is easily one of the best thrillers I have seen this year. (8/10)Actor ReviewRobert Englund: Stuart a cinema employee who can get all the odd jobs done, but when his boss pushes him too much, he finally snaps attacking him and setting up to make his own film with a young couple on a date. Robert is haunting in this performance, this could easily be put on a par with Robin Williams in One Hour Photo. (9/10)Finn Jones: Martin who is on his date with Allie who doesn't really want to watch the film they are seeing. He gets put through tests by Stuart so he can save Allie, but things for him take a twist. Good performance showing how easily you can look wrong in the eyes of someone you are trying to get to trust you. (8/10)Emily Berrington: Allie who brings her date to watch a midnight screening of a horror film (Good choice, sounds like a great date) but when she gets drugged, she spends half of the film being used as bait by Stuart before not knowing who to trust anymore. Good performance from Emily, could she become the English scream queen? (8/10)Director Review: Phil Hawkins – I am always one to praise a director who can come up with an original idea and make it entertaining, watch out for this guy, brilliant work here. (9/10)Thriller: Really keeps you guessing from start to finish just wondering what will happen next. (9/10) Settings: Isolation works perfectly here, being trapped in any building has been done but a new modern cinema really comes off original. (10/10) Suggestion: This is a must watch for all the thriller fans out there, it will tick all the boxes to make it an enjoyable experiences. (Thriller Fans Watch) Best Part: Robert Englund is brilliant. Worst Part: Not enough people will see it. Favourite Quote: Stuart 'But I'm not the killer' Believability: I guess someone could snap but I don't think they would end up going this far. (4/10) Chances of Tears: No (0/10) Chances of Sequel: No Post Credits Scene: Yes Similar Too: One Hour PhotoOscar Chances: No Budget: $2 Million Runtime: 1 Hour 29 MinutesOverall: Brilliant Thriller Rating 85

This movie sort of pokes fun at stereotypical behavior in horror movies...but not in a clever way. It puts forth a premise of what would an unsuspecting victim would do if they were placed within a horror movie scenario...with the antagonist planning their every reaction via horror movie stereotypes. But even built on that premise...the behavior and acting is just SO TERRIBLE and not in a fun way. There are very few characters involved but not once did a single one take a second to try and assess what was happening to them instead jumping immediately to hackneyed and lame conclusions. I'm sure people react without reason when something jarring occurs but when you're given ample time to think about your situation in reality many people do figure out a path to safety eventually. They'll question their situation, they'll try to process it, they'll try and survive. Well people don't do that in this movie, they panic, then panic some more, and when given a break with plenty of time to explain their situation...they break down crying and blurt out nonsense. It's just not good. There's no action in it to speak of, no gore, no clever plot twists. It's cliché packaged as intelligent...with no delivery in the intellect department. It's a completely juvenile script with no thought or depth to it and ultimately a pathetically simple film where no single person is able to rub two brain cells together to come up with a coherent thought. Basically...it was just plain lame. I wouldn't recommend it, it's just not good entertainment.
