Reviews

I am really out of words after seeing this movie. I really don't know what to write. When I read the plot saying that a boy has troubles dealing with his best-friend, since he is very attracted to him, I was expecting something like a drama/romance with a love story of him getting hurt; you know, same old, same old. But my god, was I surprised. You never see him cry, nor get hurt. You just see him create a ghost of his best-friend. He sort of "raises" that ghost, until his friend comes and takes it. What the hell? You also see his father (who is dead) stabbing some sort of things into his friends and his mother's date, which allows him to control them. However, they have no wound (even though you see blood).

Well, I'm already lost in whatever is that I wrote. What I want to underline is that these types of "surrealness" do not work in a romance/drama. There was no drama, no romance. All the "surrealness" made it all disappear. I was expecting something completely different.

Now the movie itself was very entertaining, it just wasn't what I expected.

Plot: 6/10 - The movie forgets about the main part of the plot: the serious attraction. It is very confusing, yet very entertaining and unpredictable.

Acting: 10/10 - Excellent, gorgeous acting. Every character has its characteristics and you identify each one for those thanks to the great acting. Well done.

I can't rate this movie more than 7 since the plot is something really important in a movie, even though it contains excellent acting.

My opinion is 7.4/10

This has got to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The movie is about some people trapped on a building, after a major blackout. It seems that it was caused by some weird monsters that were also inside the building. It's going to be hard to review this movie, since even after seeing I know nothing about it.

For starters, there is absolutely no plot. Just some people having a party. You barely get to know the characters name's, You don't know who the monsters are, where they came from, nothing. The acting is also terrible. The special effects aren't bad but are nothing special either. As the movie progresses you get the idea that the characters are paid just to die. Whenever a monster comes they just stand there, watching. Also, why wouldn't they try to exit the building? The elevators were off due to the power cut, but what about the stairs?

One major "goof" that I recall from the movie is when they go to the basement looking for their kids(Ashley and Kyle). The oldest brother spots a shoe and starts moaning and the mother comes running. He doesn't let her see whatever was on the floor, yet she starts crying "Poor Kyle". How did she know it was her son and not her daughter? It could have been both too. Another one is Ashley being in the elevator, in the end. She was trapped in the basement but in the end of the movie, she appears trapped in the elevator, some floors above. How did she get there? There are some terrible movies that are entertaining, so the overall isn't as bad as it should be, but this one..

Plot: 1/10
