Not sure if any of the other reviewers actually saw the film. It's actually a really good action film. It's an action film so there's always a little reality suspension. But overall it was a really good action film. Wesley Snipes did a good job. I enjoyed the film. Totally worth the watch. Great plot kind of low budget but it didn't need a high budget to be a really good film.

Boring watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend. Despite a minor "ghost effect", there's very little that makes this more than a bunch of people going into hysterics and stabbing each other, or refusing to stab each other, or going on about refusing to stab each other before stabbing one another. I wanted to like this, but there just isn't much to like here. The characters aren't very enjoyable, with a couple exceptions, so I'm happier to see them die than survive. When it eventually gets to the final survival group, the resolution is like a slap in the face for making it that far in the movie.

A very poorly executed piece of ( something ) work. The establishment shots that look like a Facebook animated Christmas scene are great for taking you out of the movie and loosing concentration. The story is at best a standard horror, with a theme that has been told far too many times before but much better. A character found a book , read it , summoned a ghost or demon that possesses various characters to kill the rest. The "acting" by most of the cast is poor the script is atrocious and the special effects non existent. Don't waste your time ..

What a mess. It might as well have been clue with college kids. Anyway, some crazy curse that started in a mirror, almost similar to Night of the Demons, okay maybe this is basically the same thing is let out and now one after another, one folk is being possessed to kill and when they die, the person who killed them is possessed. At the end of the night, 9 lives are smoked. It was just supposed to be a birthday celebration with old college friends at some house, but all things go wrong for no apparent reason. Paris Hilton bites the dust firdt and is the

It goes without saying that pushing an extended cameo appearance by Paris Hilton to sell Nine Lives carries as bad of an omen, if not worse, as the one the ill-fated characters face in this film. Yet as extremely tedious and generic - and by generic I mean store brand no sugar added vanilla ice cream generic - pretty much every aspect of this film is, she's hardly the worst thing about this movie; she's more like the 64th worst thing about this movie. Most surprisingly, however, is that Hilton's character makes out like a bandit as the most intelligent out of the nine. That really doesn't say much about her character, but more about just how dumb and clueless the other eight are.

A British horror film set in rural Scotland, Nine Lives actually makes Paris Hilton seem talented compared to all the garbage writing, directing, and acting that has gone into this piece of crap.

What Wright Penn does here is almost unfathomable. This is, in many ways, the performance of the entire year, and it doesn't even last long enough to the fill the running time of a television sitcom!

...an uncommonly tedious piece of work in which Hilton's less-than-engaging performance proves to be its least problematic attribute.
