Brian Lloyd entertainment.ie It's always gratifying to find a horror movie that has the best of influences, and even more gratifying that it's an Irish crew of filmmakers that are making it all. Rated: 3/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands Hunt-Duffy and his creative team hit a home run with a feature that grabs your throat and won’t let go Rated: 4/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media This is a well-crafted, tight 90 minutes that will keep viewers hooked and shows great potential from the up-and-coming filmmakers. Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper Ian Hunt-Duffy uses the limited setting to his advantage, escalating tension through the frayed sanity that can only come when someone stays awake much longer than they should. Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts This is a fun watch, but it's just that for me. Rated: 6/10 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Chris Wasser Sunday Independent (Ireland) This moody, claustrophobic chiller stretches its one good idea beyond breaking point -- but there is enough here to unnerve and, indeed, frighten even the most cynical participant. Rated: 3/5 Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Steven t Acting was good and it went by very fast. Maybe a little more cash could have fleshed out the film a bit more and 15 more mins might have done the job. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Callum L An exciting thriller from start to finish, the movie wastes no time jumping into the action. Rarely predictable, in some part due to some incredibly odd choices made by many characters, particularly the “villains” of the story. This made the film frustrating at times, as a lot of action was left unmotivated. Generally exciting, a solid B-horror. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review lord b painful bording and honestly super budget its like we need to stop letting movies that are str8 to video not be labelled as such this is what killed blockbuster video they mixed in trash twith real movies this never happens never goes anywhere despite having many opportunities and felt cheap and low effort when will we stop letting kids of rich peolpe make trash movies and get back to quality? NOTHING HAPPENED and ending was liek yeah right! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Jerry W Boring and slow paced, unoriginal and predictable at times. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Audience Member FÜR GELD MACHT MAN JEDEN MIST Claire nimmt wegen Geldnöten an einer Medikamentenstudie teil. Mit anderen Probanden testet sie eine Pille, doch schnell wird klar das die Nebenwirkungen zu stark sind. Es stirbt sogar jemand während der Studie und alle werden in einen Lockdown versetzt. Doch sie dürfen nicht einschlafen bis die Türen sich wieder öffnen, denn sonst droht der Tod. Schlaf!Nicht!Ein geht ca. 85 Minuten und ist ab 16 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier einen Horror-Thriller in dem es darum geht nicht einzuschlafen, ich weiss Roll-Credits, aber das ist nun mal die ganze Idee dahinter und die ist nicht mal schlecht. Allein jedes Jahr zu Silvester weiss jeder wie schwierig es ist nur bis Mitternacht wach zu bleiben, hier wird das ganze auf die Spitze getrieben. Verwirrung, Halluzinationen und körperliche Erschöpfung machen sich breit, was man wirklich gut nachvollziehen kann. Die Charaktere haben alle ihre Rolle die sie für so eine Gruppe erfüllen müssen, was würde wohl passieren wenn du nur Emos da sitzen hättest? Wahrscheinlich nach 20 Minuten bereits das Finale. Leider schafft es der Streifen nicht die Stimmung vollends rüber zubringen und so plätschert die Story eher dahin. Die Effekte sind überwiegend Blut das aus dem Gesicht fließt, allerdings gibt es ein paar coole Momente die ich dem Streifen nicht absprechen will. Das Finale bietet dann einige überraschende Wendungen die man mit einem Nicken hinnehmen muss, auch wenn sie keinen großen Sinn ergeben. Am Ende bleibt ein Werk das man einmal schauen kann, es tut keinem weh da man den Schmerz der hier durch gemacht wird nachvollziehen kann. Leider passiert zu wenig um einen wirklich zu fesseln. Von mir bekommt der Film 6/10 Punkten. Wach bleiben, keine Aufputschmittel nehmen und dann nur Leute die einem aufm Keks gehen, purer Horror. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Aoife R Very thought-provoking, rarely predictable Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
