A horror movie starring Melissa Joan Hart. That's right...Sabrina the Teenage Witch has gone bloody!
The story: nine people are kidnapped and put into a room where they have to figure out why they are there or every ten minutes one of them will be killed. If they figure it out, the killer will let them go and confess. If they don't they will all die.
Was it good? First, I recognised the voice of the killer right away. It's John Terry. Yes, Jack's father (LOST reference) is a killer! (Which makes more sense then the ending of Lost.) So at least there was somethign entertaining about it. The problem is all this crap we've seen before -- strangers trying to piece something together, each with their own baggage...it's like a cross between SAW and 10 ANGRY MEN. And there's nothing more to grab onto...no BIG IDEA. The guy's motivation is revenge, and even the twist that he's not the guy they first suspect isn't a big deal. The ending some might see as a twist, but it wasn't a big deal because I didn't really care.
I don't know...it wasn't horrible, but it was completely forgetable which in a lot of ways is worse.
*** NOT RECOMMENDED ***
Recommended instead: why not start with the classic 10 ANGRY MEN, or for more of a thriller/detective try AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. FRAILTY has some cooler stuff going on (and Bill Paxon!) and of course the classic ANGEL HEART.
