It's like Crawl except with a tiger instead of alligators. Crazy premise, but it's a fun flick.

ehhhhh it was alright. i was sort of expecting terrible cgi tiger, so this was definitely not that (thank goodness). however, because they didn't use cgi there's really not much tiger/human interaction. it's basically just these kids trying to get out of their house that happens to have an extremely angry tiger in it for some reason. i don't know much about tigers, but i also feel like he would've been a little chill-er than he was. he can't be that angry all the time. especially after she fed him some meat. idk. it was a good watch, but i probably wouldn't recommend it.

Every person who crapped on Crawl needs to apoligize since holy shit is this ever bad. While Burning Bright has a handful of decent moments and Briana Evigan is a great lead, It is letdown by horribly written characters, A twist that is both predictable and laughably bad, atrocious editing and a lack of real tension. Again, Crawl did everything this tried to do but much better. The hurricane felt more important and not just a plot point to remove internet connection or cell phone ruining the feeble plot. Crawl also had a better father and daughter plot line and it didn't have to cram in one of the worst written autistic characters I have ever seen. He is pretty much only there to hinder the main character and be an obstacle in the story. I expected much more in the end. Not this Abelist bullshit.

I was genuinely surprised that I didn't hate this film. In the end I didn't mind it the plotting was slightly predictable as you can pretty much tell how this film was going to end. However the direction was solid with the close up shots mixed with decent editing made you feel claustrophobic. Brianna Evigan was game even if she did look a bit too done up, while she did not have the charisma that someone like Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway or Emily Blunt would bring. Evigan certainly held your attention as girl struggling to cope with her younger brother's autism. She was even convincing in her desperate prayer to get out alive. Overall a solid if predictable thriller and one to add to your Netflix queue if it's there.

Little White Lies

a taut thriller with plenty of flesh on the bone, let down only by its mawkish, overcooked ending.

a taut thriller, as solid and arresting as a 500lb carnivore - and just wait till you see what the cat dragged out...
