I Am Rage

The way the movie started, I felt it might be a real loser. A man, clearly beaten, manages to escape his binds, and then gets into a fight with one of the captors. He manages to get a knife, but hesitates, which of course is a bad idea. It then switches to Adam picking up Erin to go to his parents house, which is very isolated. On the way, they pick up his brother Michael and Sarah. The parents seem a bit strange, and at dinner offer their special drink. Of course it is drugged, as the parents are in the business of harvesting blood, rich in adrenaline, which they get by terrorizing their captives. And they have apparently a basement full of captives. But it turns out Erin is not just some young woman. At age 4, she was kidnapped, tortured and abused for 15 years before she could make her escape. And her captors didn't fare well. There is plenty of gore, blood and killings which should satisfy most viewers. It is basically an action film to be accepted on that basis.

If you want a movie that's so bad it eventually entertains, this is the one for you. Starts pretty incoherently with odd thing happening after odd thing happening. Characters make ridiculous decisions and dismiss obvious red flags. As a viewer, I challenge you to discover if you are in England or America. Car and license plates - Europe. Lead character, British accent. Everyone else? American. Yet somehow the family's been there since 1863? Shrug. However, when the action finally starts it's so bad it's good. It's a direct rip off of "The Most Dangerous Game" complete with a Count Zaroff character. Enjoy.

Some years ago, I remember watching BECKY. This movie has some of the feels from that other movie. It doesn't speed through at all. A big action film, this is not. It's a slow burn that will deliver on most of its promises, but asks for a little work along the way.

But they do put in a couple of really odd and surly performances to keep you busy with the obvious: are all these people after the same thing?

In my humble opinion, you can't ask much more from a film that encompasses The Hunt with a touch of Becky and Wolf's Creek. It delivers its biggest promises, even though it falls short of making some of the bad guys as "bad" as they can be.

A low budget movie, not a bad sound track, but weak acting and effects lets it down. Also the character in the cowboy hat has an amusing resemblance to Gary Glitter from the 70's british rock scene, it's an unfortunate look for him!

It's one of those movies that intrigues, you have to watch it despite the shortfalls to find out what happens.

Filmed in the Highlands of Scotland, it's a great advertisement for the beautiful landscape up there and, surprisingly, the weather appeared to be kind during the shoot.

The lodge location is available to hire should you want to experience the wilderness of the Highlands.

Overall, if you have nothing else worth watching this is worth a try, just don't expect a blockbuster.

First, let me say that this objectively a bad movie. But, if you enjoy the horror genre (and maybe thriller), it's worth putting on in the background, or when wanting to fall asleep.

The writing and plot is decent enough, and somewhat believable. So I gave this 3 stars for that entertainment value. However, the acting is just so poor that it is hard to feel even remotely concerned for the victims. Almost every actor without fail sounds exactly like they are either reading directly from the script, or they think that acting involves being as camp and over the top as possible.

There are many fight scenes in this movie, and unfortunately all of them look very fake. Punches that don't connect, sound effects that don't match correctly to the cause of the sound, and massive windups that look almost comical when certain weapons are used. Seriously, the person being hit should have been able to just casually step aside half the time.

Overall, this movie had the foundation to be something really great due to a compelling background for the lead actress, and the bf's family as well. But both of those things are only ever vaguely alluded to. The audience is left struggling to care about anyone, and half the time hoping they will all just die and the movie ends.

Do NOT pay to watch this. But if you are really bored or multitasking, its vaguely interesting.
