Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed There were times where I was on the edge of my seat squirming. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 25, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...never falls prey to sentiment or cheesy one-liners... Rated: 3/4 Aug 1, 2003 Full Review Bill Chambers Film Freak Central If I Die Before I Wake prays on our base feelings; that's why it works, and that's why it shouldn't. Rated: 3/4 May 4, 2001 Full Review Jaime N. Christley Apollo Guide At the end of the film, the only real victims are the people who watched it. Rated: 26/100 May 1, 2001 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Passable, but hardly a thriller for the ages Rated: 2/5 Mar 20, 2001 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Movie was alright. I hated how the robbers didn't see the hostages when hiding, even though they should hae. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly entertaining, and the fact that you don't expect it to be good adds to the affection of this cheaply made film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I HATE horror flicks that could actually happen & this was 1 of them.I could NOT sit through the whole thing Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
