Ready Steady Cut

Splatter-style captivity and survival film from Giles Alderson, which has a decent plot linking present and past, and effective tension and effects.

Rated: 3/5

The Dare just doesn't deliver satisfying enough answers to these questions.

As it is, it's strictly one for the gorehounds.

Those jonesing for a jolt of gore will definitely find plenty to enjoy here...it's not my bag. And the characters are just so insufferable I didn't particularly care.

Rated: 2/5

Lyles' Movie Files

The Dare could have used some restraint and a tighter script to be more than just a pale imitation of Saw and other more-gore horror films.

Rated: 4/10

Film Threat

A nasty, suspenseful, and gory thriller that will keep you guessing to the end.

Just a bunch of horror things trying to make it scary. Better to see Saw or Jigsaw.

I watched this with my girlfriend and the only reason I give it one and a half stars is because we had a fun time laughing about it. I'm a huge fan of horror movies, but this wasn't disturbing in the least. The only times I felt disturbed was when I tried to imagine the plot of the movie being well executed (which it wasn't). The characters constantly switched around from being terrified of the situation to being overly bold. The script is just horrific. At some point emotional music starts playing and we just started laughing because there was absolutely zero reason to feel emotionally connected to anyone in the movie. Don't recommend it at all.

Horror tanto cruento in alcune torture quanto latente nella sceneggiatura. Naturalmente viene data importanza solo a quello che si svolge all'interno della fattoria abbandonata, alle elaborate torture che dovrebbero richiamare a quelle subite dal giovane bambino ma che, avvenendo prima che si scopra il tutto, risultano essere solo sadismo e splatter. Per giunta quei pochi dettagli della trama sono dozzinali e gettati in scene random sperando che lo spettatore sia troppo concentrato sull'azione per accorgersi di tutte queste grossolane forzature.

Perfect for horror fans. It was interesting enough to hold my attention almost all of the way through. Wasn't a story that was believable, which is kind of how the horror genre is. I prefer thrillers and it had a good plot, which I liked. There wasn't much suspense, but it was still entertaining. Was definitely gory to the point of disturbing, much more so than most slasher films, even the first Hostel movie.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

meh; i started watching this like 2 weeks ago & just finally finished it. so it wasn't compelling enough for me to finish it in one sitting, but not bad enough to not finish it. i don't think i'd recommend it, but it wasn't a bad watch by the end of it.
