Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Outside of the Russian Roulette scenes, the film has much more visual appeal, with noirish cinematography and a fluid style which recalls director Howard J Ford’s early work with his brother Jonathan. Rated: 2/5 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media This tedious knock-off of popular horror flick Saw and its many sequels is delivered on a micro-budget with no new ideas.

Greg H Agree the presenter is a weak character and could have added so much more. Cinematic direction is total mince, acting in the main poor, and whilst there were some new ideas weak script and a well thought out plot and story timeline let's it down. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Ben R An absolute monstrosity of a film. I had Jaws 3 as the worst film I've ever watched until I wasted an hour and a half watching this. Ed Westwick has to be the worst actor of all time. Pinnochio is less wooden than him. Shame as the storyline was ok. What's even worse is it left the possibility of a sequel. Surely not!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Liv x Overall I really enjoyed this! If you like crime and thrillers I think this is a film for you, don’t let the reviews stop you from watching, make your own mind up!! The ending makes you guess there is going to be a part 2 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Ria V **SPOILERS** I at first thought this film was satire due to the cheesy lines and overly burdened lead detective. As well as the con that made a rather self aware comment “is that how you seriously talk for real? It’s just like the movies”. The script is awful, terrible lines and delivery, the lead is constantly sad/troubled in a over the top manner. I genuinely enjoy “bad” movies but this was just … bad. There’s little to no character development for anyone apart from Katia - even then it was very surface level - which stops you from caring about what’s happening. I hope it is satire but either way it didn’t land for me. Apparently this was low budget but I have seen some amazing things done on a low budget, so I don’t believe this is an excuse. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Sophie T The ending is shocking. There’s no ending and just leaves you with no outcome. The whole film is about the police trying to catch who was making the videos but even at the end you don’t get to find out. You don’t know the outcome of them sending the dolls to his home where his pregnant partner is? Bit of a waste of time. Not worth the watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Andrei S Don't waste your time. Such a badly written plot, awful actors and terrible lines. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
