I just couldn't with the dark haired chick, her character drove me nuts and her dumb ass boyfriend who locked them in there. He should've killed himself of guilt at the end and I would've given this 3 stars. Scout Taylor Compton is impressive as always.

Spoiler Warning
247 Degrees F was based on a true story... in the sense that some people got stuck in a cooling sauna for 10 hours. That's sort of where the excitement ends for the true story. The movie blows it up to an extremely dramatic level as movies do; having someone die, the heat never stops climbing, and the people inside are kind of ridiculous. Whoever wrote this story doesn't seem to like women, as the two girls trapped in the sauna are irrational, annoying, and 1000% useless. The one guy is the only person trying to get them out of there, sacrificing himself in many ways to get them free, while the girls complain, whine, and do nothing but hurt them all. I think it could have been an interesting concept if the characters weren't so unbearable.

Within a confine space, this movie acted well and it was quite exciting and gripping the fight to survival.

A concept that might actually be interesting, or at least campy fun, in the right hands instead results in a completely laughable excuse for thrills due to the pure lack of competence of the filmmakers involved with this film's production. The production value feels like made-for-TV quality: one scene has camera angles that wouldn't feel out of place in a hidden camera prank show. The characters are inexcusably unlikeable and unsympathetic, even the ones that are clearly supposed to be likeable. The actors (all five of them) are horrible. The writing is all over the place, with characters knowing every working detail of how a sauna works, but having no idea what heat stroke is and thinking sticking a wet rag in a light socket is a good idea: all of this, of course, only comes into play once the characters are done screaming at the top of their lungs over and over. There's not much more to say about this one except that it's one of the worst films ever made. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.

REVIEW BASED ON 4 FACTORS
1: ACTING
2: PLOT
3: GORE
4: FEAR/SURPRISE
BREAKDOWN:
When four friends travel to a lakeside cabin for a carefree weekend, the fun turns into a nightmare when three of them end up locked in a hot sauna.
MY TAKE:
supposedly based on true events, this always gives me pause ever since the blair witch (failure).
The acting left a lot to be desired, so for that I give ½ a skull
The plot to me was great I give it 2 skulls
The gore consisted of a guy cutting his hand and a girl getting cracked in the head. I believe their fake blood budget was about 4 dollars therefore gaining zero skulls for gore
Fear/Surprise another zero there was no fear inducing scenes (unless you're claustrophobic then there may have been some fear, but I doubt it) also there were no surprises gaining another zero skulls
The music was ungodly loud throughout the whole show, you could not hear the spoken lines when the music was playing, which made it hard to follow along with any spoken parts.
I'm going with a 2½ skull performance on this one. If you are extremely bored and have exhausted all other possibilities then watch this one, otherwise save your 90 minutes for something else
