03/23/2012 Movie was alright. I hated how the robbers didn't see the hostages when hiding, even though they should hae. See more 07/14/2011 Dark and nasty little B-movie. Extremely mean-spirited in places, but still oddly entertaining. I'd love to see this remade with better actors and a screenplay with less lapses in logic. See more 12/23/2010 Surprisingly entertaining, and the fact that you don't expect it to be good adds to the affection of this cheaply made film. See more 12/28/2009 Excellent movie, grerat storyline and yes some disgusting parts but thats what makes a great horror flick. It had me on the edge of the seat wondering what was going to go down next not predictable like a lot of the neweer titles out there See more 10/17/2009 I HATE horror flicks that could actually happen & this was 1 of them.I could NOT sit through the whole thing See more 05/29/2009 This movie SUCKED. Very unrealistic that they didn't catch the two girls running around the house earlier. But props to the 16yo girl for kicking ass (and by that I mean stabbing the guys with a butcher knife, a glass shard and impaling a guy on the fence) lol. Kinda disturbing to see the robbers killing and attacking the family, the brother and dad died. And did one of the robbers rape the brother? Didn't he get called a sick perv or something? I dunno, and nor do I want to now. The mother's constant screaming was disturbing as well. She was mad traumatized. What was up with her gently wiping the guy's neck (the glass shard-stabbed dude) and staring at him? Why didn't she kill him or flee. She just sat there after being rescued and didn't respond to her daughter. Whatever. Why did the girl yell out to the two people that drove up into the driveway? SO MUCH CRAP THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. Movie was stupid and did a poor job of holding one's attention and excitement. See more Read all reviews
