    Amateur

    So, a mentally ill killer escapes the locked institution and pursues some random woman who was visiting the institution with her psychology class. He kills along they way. The woman is unaware of this fact. This allows for her annoying friends to be silly stereotypesnof college characters.

    Production is okay. Acting is minimal but enough to be characters. They are rather sedate in the acting, presenting with little panic or push for the crsis situation. But, they aren't convincing enough to really care about them. Plot is a bit one note. The story plays out with a minor twist. But overall this film is rather pedestrian and starter level.

    Brilliant....

    Brilliant movie,With some brilliant shots, great graphic's, excellent and interesting use of sound, the movie looks a million dollars more than its relatively low budget and massive credit goes to campion murphy for showing that you can make so much more from such a simple set up. All of the actors embed their characters with a complex credulity that works well in the scary and surreal situation that they all find themselves in especially faith fords character,It also should serve as an inspiration to horror movie makers as it proves that with creativity and imagination you can make a movie on a low budget which looks and feels like a Hollywood horror but is ten times more original. all in all i would definitely recommend this film to family and friends. This years 2013 must see.

    Just another crap wasting time movie.

    Great? good? a must see? wow....guess this is their first movie they watched in their lives, those who said that. I regret wasting my time watching this movie, where all actors seem like robots and act and talk by remote control. Don't waste your time and better spending it in sleeping. Everything in this movie is not acting and the story even not logic and just making us like fools. I wonder, where the director learned to make a movie and where the producers got the money to waste it in this low level movie. I never seen a worst movie than this one in my whole life and never would imagine there are people who wasted their money in making it. once again, don't even try to watch it and waste your time and money. there are many things better to do than watching this bad movie. my rating is -0000000000

    There's actually a shot that lingers on a door-knob.

    It's hard to imagine, maybe you can, that a group of "Filmmakers" are sitting around and someone (who now would deny it), perks up an says..."I know what we can do...let's make a Slasher/Psycho Movie and not show any of the Murders...the Fans will love it...and since its a Teen-Horror-Flick...we will have no nudity or sex scenes...boy oh boy will the boys be surprised."

    If you are serious about making a serious Thriller with no Gore, no Sex, and very little on screen Violence, you better have one Helluva of a Killer Script with Dialog that is insightful and witty, with some surprises and enough suspense to keep things interesting, stay away from Clichés and above all, be Entertaining.

    But, there isn't an iota of intelligence, creativity, or freshness in this tired, slow, no thrills, boring, badly Edited, horribly Acted, Valley Girl Scripted (to Moderns still talk like that), and let's not forget, inept Direction. There is nothing here that can be of the least bit of interest to Movie Lovers or Humanity in general. A bona-fide Stinker.

    I Feel Bad Dominic Purcell Agreed To This

    This film hardly deserves a solid, serious review. We have Dominic Purcell as a man who is locked up and one day sees a student on a field trip and apparently becomes obsessed with her. He breaks out ,and begins tracking her down.

    Now, first of all, I feel bad that Purcell is involved in a "prison break" film, because he should really be trying to move away from such things. But anyway, he is the best part of this train wreck of a film. The plot is convoluted, it just seems to go where it wants... they could have had a violent psychopath killing people or a teen slasher, but it seems like they wanted this and something a bit more intelligent -- a combination they were not ready to pull off.

    This is not the worst film I have seen this year, and probably not the worst film I have seen this month... but I would strongly advise people to watch just about anything else.
