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

Starburst

Despite the holes in some of the logic of the story, it ends up fitting together quite well, the acting is decent, and the gore is well handled.

Rated: 3/5

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

Gayly Dreadful

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

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

Apaixonante... Muito bom, um Jogos Mortais com nova roupagens, cenas sangrentas, situações que dão uma certa angústia (pessoas perdendo unhas, comendo carne crua, garfo na criança, engolir barata, crucificação), adoro filmes de terror, tortura, quando vem acompanhado de um motivo ou justificativa plausível, mas será que existe uma justificativa plausível para a vingança extrema? Bem violento, horripilante, com torturas bizarras, sangue, causa angustia e nervoso... Gostei do desfecho, merece uma sequência...

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.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
