Asedio en la oscuridad

I watched this late at night, because I couldn't sleep. After finishing this movie I slept like a baby, that's how boring it is. And I had quite a pleasant dream after that. But, let's get to analyze this dreadful abyss of contrived, sucked-out-of-toes plot that someone approved and what's more shocking – someone decided it should actually be made. There were few moments were I laughed out loud, because I could actually predict the lines of the characters. I suppose the writer needed money real bad and wrote the script on a napkin while drinking coffee in a bar in San Francisco. The main characters were so badly designed that I actually rooted for the killer and wished he would end their miserable existence. To prove you how stupid is this movie I will tell you this – the blackout starts and the father goes to the mall to get his family because he fears something might happen to them. Wait, it gets funnier – a neighbor of his actually gives him a pistol for protection. Come on, what is this, the light goes out for a few minutes and suddenly everyone turns into flesh-eating zombie? Gimme a break! In conclusion I could say that the "blackout" from the title means that everyone's mind was in total blackout while making this garbage.

The film follows the story of a mother and her daughter and son who get caught in a shopping mall when a blackout occurs. Unfortunately for them, a killer is in the buildings and already had his eyes on the attractive 15-year old girl. The films has an odd stiffness about it, mainly due to a script that's poorly written which gives no room for generally good actors to shine with a level of emotion and realism. Special mention goes to Alexandra Picatto for a tense, gripping performance that brings the film up a notch.

The film serves its purpose though, late-night thriller that's passable enough to fill some time before dozing off to a good night sleep.

This film is about Kathy Robbins (Jane Seymour) and her two children, Blair(Alexandra Picatto, in a moving and remarkable performance) and David (William Russ) who are stuck in a mall during a power outage while police hunt for a killer. Alexandra Picatto's performance in suspense movie "Blackout" with Jane Seymour, where Picatto played Seymour's 17-year old daughter was really great. This teen with very bright, brown eyes, was one of the most ominous characters I have ever seen in this motion picture. The plot and storyline I thought was good. I liked the storyline that you can achieve your dreams. I wonder if she is going to make more movies, I sure hope so. She is so talented plus she was awesome in here. And for viewers young and old, it's a great film, on my scale, I give this film a well-deserved 10/10! For it pleased me so much!

This movie was a complete and utter disaster. A woman gets locked in a store at a shopping mall with her teenage daughter (15 yrs old), and son with a psycho who is out to get them. What's pathetic is this goes on for WAYYY too long, no security?? Where are the police?? There are people looting all over the mall, yet no one can stop to help her? Her husband shows up, and is defenesless, he couldn't even get into the store, and once he finally did, his wife had to lend a hand. There's even a worthless store manager INSIDE the store with her, that offered no help. Please, don't waste your time, this is 96 min of my life I will NEVER get back.
