Been doing it ever since I joined this forum back in the early 2k . It's a trademark and it ain't going nowhere. Sorry if it annoys, but I'm not getting rid of it.

So now for the sequel question:

My only question(s) about the movie is:



The movie was intense and we enjoyed it quite a bit. I really liked the Money shot.

I personally do not like slasher type horror movies, For those that have seen it is it more suspense/thriller than slice and dice? Thnx

Greg MacGuffin

More of a suspense/thriller.

brtcmfn

Great- thank you-
The last one I saw was Krampus and because of the feedback here I did watch it and there was no gore and really enjoyed it.

DWilson

It's a well-made and efficient suspense machine, though it's one of those that spurs a lot of audience interaction, and it drew a larger crowd than I've seen in a while. I appreciated that the director didn't go for the usual laugh-lines or comic relief that often turns up in these things to take the edge off.
However,...

The end scene was really dumb and didn't add anything. It could have just ended when it cut to black.

Enjoyed the movie, but did have a few nitpicks:

Cardsfan111

This was a fun, suspense-filled film. I understand many of the flaws that have already been pointed out. But I didn't find myself thinking about them during the movie.

Obi-Wanma

I dunno. I didn't really like this one so much. I didn't find any of the main characters to be very sympathetic. Hard to build tension when you don't care if anyone dies.

Also, most unrealistic thing about the movie? How quickly the Detroit cops show up at the end.

asianxcore

Definitely a flawed film but I loved it. Fun performances all around and the atmosphere that Alvarez built had me fidgeting in my seat the entire time.

Agree 100% on that.

A-aron

I must have missed it, but apparently some of the TV spots showed



Alvarez did an AMA on reddit and confirmed that it was cut from the final film because he didn't like it, and thus removed it.

I really liked this a lot but man does it have a lot of plot holes in it. Even by horror movie standards the plot holes are pretty bad. Still it's a pretty effective thriller with Levy(who should really be a bigger star) and Lang stealing the show. I would probably give it a 4/5.

Rival11

Well, this is the film that pulled me back into the theater after years of not going - loved it - like another person mentioned already, I was too into the movie to notice the holes - don't really care though as it was a fun flick and I definitely didn't see the reveal coming.

I saw it this afternoon, and agree with the good reviews, but also the major plot holes in hindsight. But it was still a well made and gripping movie, that's for sure. So hopefully you can just enjoy the ride and not think too much about some issues with the plot.

Now, I'd like to know exactly what did I miss at the starting of the movie? What happened was, I had walked into the wrong theater, sat through the trailers, then suddenly 'Snowden' started. At first, I thought the projectionist had mixed up the movies(it happened when I saw It Follows last year, a Disney movie was put on in it's place, until it was corrected). So when I got into the theater, it was during a scene where I'm sure I didn't miss much, but it's annoying to have missed the very beginning of a movie just like last time, since I was on time for it this time around. But it was a simple mistake since the two theater doors were right next to each other, and I thought I walked into #4 instead of #5.

Guess I'm in the minority. Thought this was pretty terrible and the glaring errors (falling through glass when no window was available, massive crime scene) were unforgivable and required too much suspension of belief. The ending was tacked on and forced. Too many horror cliches to count.

Why So Blu?

I finally got around to watching this and liked enough. Lang is the standout and badass. Dude is captivating as hell. I hated the Evil Dead remake but really liked this one and think Fede has a potential franchise. He can write/direct the prequel/sequel, because there is plenty to tell leftover.

Gunde

Lang is awesome, Alvarez is a fine director, but this movie was very by-the-numbers.

Finally got around to watching this tonight on Starz. Maybe I expected more but honestly it didn't do much for me. I thought it was pretty much by the numbers and overall I found it pretty dumb. I felt like the characters had a couple decent chances to escape and it felt unrealistic for the blind guy to be able to just keep popping up at almost every turn. I get that he had his house pretty well memorized but still it seemed unrealistic. Also agree about not caring about any of the characters. The three had it coming to them by breaking into the guy's house and the guy himself was obviously a sick fuck too.

Three mentally challenged burglars try to rob a blind John Rambo. An 88 minute story that could have been told in half the time. Predictable and boring.

1/5

Mondo Kane

The jizz in the face was predictable?

DVD Josh

I really enjoyed this movie right up until the ending, which was ludicrous and contrived. But the filmmakers did a good job of creating tension and atmosphere and I thought the pacing was quite good. Solid all around.
