Not that good


Believe me, I was amped to watch this. I love movies that have Hogg tension, suspense, and unique gore. That's what this movie was made out to be. Don't get me wrong, there were brilliant parts to this film. The first half of this movie was fantastic and was building up to something great. The scenes when they were in the room being held were great, and the part where they practically ripped the guys arm off was amazingly done. However pretty much after they left the room, things fell for me. Two characters die instantly, then they go back, then come back out where anther two more die instantly, then go back again. Then there was really no good build up to the last scene. The whole second half was just eh to me and kinda boring.

You have great points. I agree with you that having the harassers bounce bad and forth between dying instantly and retreating to the room was a bit of a easy way to keep the plot/story retreading.

On the other side of the coin...
What are some instances of poor sound mixing?

In my opinion, when pat gets his arm mangled, it looked really fake and not very convincing. The effects throught the film (and blue ruin for that matter) were great, but seeing a mangled arm without any blood seems a bit on the bizarre side.

Didn't even notice that terrible spelling and phrasing in the first pseudo paragraph.

My apologies!

"Having the band members bounce back and forth between getting killed and thinking in the room seemed..."

This film had a very strong start with a couple genuine shocks, but it seems to have nowhere to go after that. The only question is when the band will escape and how, and I can't say I was that concerned with the process. 5/10 stars from me.
