During
the hot, sweltering summer, Mike, a young American tourist goes looking for his
missing friend in an isolated Spanish village. Here, he gets embroiled with an
alluring local woman who soon becomes obsessed with him. Forced to escape, Mike
soon finds that the horror is far greater than he could have ever imagined.
Stupid is as stupid does. This whole movie is stupid. Goodness, what a load of garbage. What is there to like? The plot? The acting? The scenery? People just do not behave the way this guy does in life-threatening situations. Only at the end does he do the NORMAL thing but its too late for that poor sap.
Its a psycho-horror drama flick about an American hippie-backpacker going rural to find his vanished friend, that ends up in a nightmare, because he turned down the wish of a hot sunburned Spanish woman, that gave away her heart but was sent back in return. so let the moral be, do not even think about letting a Spanish girl down, then shell let you run the devil on the Spanish highway.
it's a slow flick with some acceptable acting, a suspenseful score, and a beautiful filmography.
but it's not one for the grumpy old man, he's far too restless, but it's still a recommendation if you like psychophobia.
An excellently filmed and acted movie that kept my attention throughout. However, watching this at the time of the Australian bushfire crisis I was somewhat repelled, near the movie's start, by seeing the lead character throw an empty plastic water bottle into what looked like dry grassland under a blazing sun without any adverse comments from the other characters (unless I missed something!). For that reason, I gave these seven stars rather than eight.

When
medical trials are pushed to their limits, the most extreme tests end up on St.
Leonards Island in the north Atlantic - a re-purposed prison for some of the
world's most violent criminals. But when one experiment goes wrong, the entire
island becomes a terrifying, disease-riddled maze for desperate survivors.Written by Golden Crab Films
Right from the start, the majority of characters are totally unbelievable and the acting below par. To be fair to the cast, many of them don't have much experience, so it is down to the director to guide and get the most out of them - which they clearly didn't.
The story isn't that good, to begin with, and being stretched to 1h 46m makes it something of a trial to stay awake through. I was very relieved when the end credits finally appeared.
There is no sense of atmosphere or drama to bring the viewer into the world of the characters. It is like watching endless slides of someone's boring holiday snaps.
You'll get more tension and fear from watching a washing machine on the spin cycle.
Make a list of all the most horrible qualities that the worst movies have that you've ever seen. Post the list on the net somewhere. Then watch this movie and see how they just totally nailed what was on your list! Did they travel forward in time, see your list of the most horrible qualities of the worst movies ever made, then go back in time and make this movie, making sure to check off everything on your list? You tell me!
A
hardened criminal fresh out of the joint takes a job as a handyman in a
dilapidated house; but the twisted horrors he finds inside are enough to send
anyone running. So why does he stay? And why are so many people drawn to
Penance Lane?
Don't even bother. You can tell the positive reviews are absolute fakes because you look at the profiles of the people who MADE these positive reviews, this is the ONLY movie they reviewed, hmm! Suspicious much? Another lame low budget film. Skip this one.
What started as a good premise and makes you think you're in for a good ghost/hunted house with a twist, takes a wrong turn in the middle towards ridiculousness and cliché galore. The story makes absolutely no sense at all and the worst of it, is not even mildly entertaining. The good reviews must be fake or written by 12-year-old kids.
"Twelve
strangers wake up in a clearing. They don't know where they are -- or how they
got there. In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, ruthless elitists

about to be derailed when one of the hunted, Crystal, turns the tables on her
pursuers.
Oh. my. god! This movie was, IMO, the best movie of 2020 so far! It had everyone in the theatre %100 engaged throughout and there were several moments where you could hear audible gasps from the movie goers lol
This film has everything and didn’t leave us wanting, like many other films this year have.
Suspense, action, emotion, a few laughs, and plot twists!
My only regret is that this film isn’t available to stream yet!
One of the few films I would actually pay to go see again!
Bravo!!!! 5 stars!

When i got to know about this movie, i wasn't sure if it was a good one or just another wannabe saw movie. However after watching the movie i am most pleasantly surprised with the way the story unfolds and ends with a good motive for the hunt, and its a really creative one.
I am very impressed with beatty gilpins acting and boy o boy shes really superb, would love to watch more of her movies and currently there are very few unfortunately. She is a star!
Watch the movie for sure but you have to be ready to watch some gory stuff.
An
unknown, a massive earthquake happens in a drilling station in the bottom of the
Mariana Trench. A scientific crew must find their way across the ocean floor
into another station under the threats of deep pressure, dark water, dangerous
deep-sea creatures, and a constant lack of oxygen.
Osm , fantastic work done by whole team . Mind blowing VFX engages audience till the end , also Beltrami's background score is as powerful to support the ever increasing horror thrill by every minute passed . Direction is gripping and impeccable it keeps audiences stick edge to their seats . Acting normally doesn't have too kuch space in sci fi movie but still kirsten stewart & vincent cassel impressed the audiences with their powerful act , kirsten is beauty & talent she has different spark to play like a relentless hero , she has energetic powerful appearance . Heavy scuba driving gear , tense environment , ever beeping O2 pulse like ER , normal people will call it a home , someone will call it hell . Confronting deadliest unknown giant creature in deep of ocean is like nightmare every minute passed in such situation is nothing less than hell . Survival thriller has always been cringe worthy so this one is too . Must watch this brilliant sci fi thriller .

It’s a good thriller film, with decent monster designs. I liked the acting, the lack of a soundtrack for most parts, and the idea that the monsters weren’t the only scary things that could happen. The short amount of expose doesn’t detract from the characters, which I very quickly came to enjoy! The small details through the film is touch upon the characters relationships and overall make me care about their lives. For people wondering what the theme of the movie: it’s anti-capitalist. The worn down nature of the bases, the consistent blaring of an auto tune voice telling the characters they are the “companies family” and the ending newspapers explaining another drill will be built, and that the company won’t let the survivors interview. Overall a good movie.
