A terrible story line,not much thought gone into this at all.
dont waste your time
It's slow but it creepy. I went into it not expecting much and I was surprised. It's worth a watch. Some of those characters were annoying as hell tho.
I sometimes question the one to three star reviews on here. Did they actually even watch the movie? The 10s are usually a given on reviews of low budget indie films: part of the production or family. This film is undeserving of extremely low ratings AND extremely high ones as well. What it is, is overall well done. It's a somewhat original take on the way overdone home invasion thriller. What it isn't is a pure horror movie. It's a cabin in the woods indie horror film without the usual slasher, and a "The Strangers" type home invasion without the silent adversaries. The ending is quite divisive, I liked it but some won't. It is quite worth a watch, if only for the inevitable discussion about what the hell you just watched.
This movie had such a slow start and by slow I mean at a snails pace with bad acting. It did get a little more interesting after the first kill but relatively was a boring movie with a little gore.
There are some questionable performances on top of most of the characters being unlikeable except for the brothers. The pacing is slow but it worked for me. The last half of the movie is entertaining and the movie overall is relatively gripping. The ending is surprisingly bleak and ballsy. To close, I don't think the movie is anywhere close to being trash. I expected and I have seen much worse than this.
