Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Soon the movie is going through the slasher playbook, offering up nothing new and doing little different making the eventual outcome a rather pedestrian and ho-hum affair that even with a nifty final twist sort of bored me senseless. Rated: 2/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Zara Miller Little White Lies While it ticks a lot of the right horror boxes, the skeleton just never pops out of that cupboard. Rated: 1/5 Oct 28, 2010 Full Review Steve Dread Central In the end we crawled deep into this Spiderhole and all we found was a truly beaten dead horse. Rated: 1/5 Oct 9, 2011 Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet Drearily familiar, lazily constructed, and simply not very interesting. No spiders, either. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2011 Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects Rated: D Aug 6, 2011 Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters It's not perfect. Heck, at times, it's barely passable.

Audience Member It's a really crap movie it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen it has a terrible story and the ending is crap Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I couldn't even finish this. It was going to waste my time. I had to put an end to it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Well shot B movie with a Hostel type storyline. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a great horror plot but it's lacking why why why??!! It doesn't really explain to us why the killer is killing, sort of just makes you wondering it can develop better Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member same ole tired 'scare tactics' here though its a tired ole warhorse Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member One line summary: Stoner squatter thieves search for and find their own damnation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Four homeless art students squat in a supposedly abandoned London house. Things go well for a while. The windows and doors look covered with old boards, which should be no problem to break into. The place has been abandoned for a number of years, and not everything works right at first. They discover some old clothes with fresh blood on them. That does not seem to set off their sense of danger. The next morning, joy turns to despair quickly enough. The windows covered with boards had solid metal beneath the boards; the back door was the same. The front door, which Toby so carefully broke into and re-engineered the previous night, has been bolted down with solid metal. Toby's tool box has gone missing, as has every cell phone they had. They try to get the attention of the police outside who are looking over there 'borrowed' van. Hm. The cops cannot hear them. The captor gasses them, then takes Toby away. The rest look for him, but have little success at first. Their captor ties up Zoe as well, then the torture segment starts. Luke and Molly think they have the drop on their captor. They end up killing Toby instead. Then the captor gasses them. He saws off Zoe's lower legs, then turns his attention to Luke and Molly. Molly manages to get free, and strikes her captor with an iron rod, but only once. She leaves that to chance. Molly finds what is left of Luke, then tries to find an exit, now that she has a set of keys. She also finds the captor's back-story which tells partially why he keeps repeating all the torture. Does Molly make it out alive? ---------Scores-------- Cinematography: 10/10 Love the 2.35 aspect ratio. This picture starts out beautifully on the visuals, and continues that way. Sound: 10/10 Creepy, good tracks, well chosen and recorded. Acting: 5/10 Could have been a lot better. Screenplay: 8/10 Tells a story, and does it fairly well.
