It had potential
This movie had potential, I'm not going to lie. The story line was good, it had prospect, they could have done better with it. They gave us proper details about each Character. How Adam was a wimp, eve was the one who wore the pants and Lucas? Well he was such an effing d@#$*. Chloe or what's her name was a very flat character we just know she was Lucas' partner. Their two major flawa was spending too much time giving us proper insight on the characters and not spending time on the plot. Conflict, climax and resolution happened in about ten minutes, that was stupid in my opinion. The second flaw was with the loose plot hole. So many unimportant things presented to us as important. For example the fox! What was the use? The significance, they showed that sh@*# a million times I thought it was going to be important to the story but alas it wasn't. Anyway they could have done better, acting was good too. It's passable, nothing great about it. - fluffchop - 4 October 2022
Ultimately goes nowhere
Take four unlikable characters and put them in a house. Have nothing happen for nearly the whole movie then have someone break in. Again nothing happens. Some people get killed, the end. No suspense, no intrigue, no drama, no action, no laughs. Horrible characters, no story, superficial plot development, and blah blah blah. I found myself saying half way through, this movie sucks. Then I thought how many time have I said this then watched the rest of something? Why? Because you should at least try to watch a whole movie to judge it in it's entirety. There's no nudity, no hot chicks, no story, no plot and no action. It ultimately goes nowhere and isn't worth your time taken to view. - bangel3322 - 21 May 2022
Rubbish
Sorry but this film was such a mess.
The home invasion movie has been done to death, so ideas for this type of film need to be fresh and original. It was far too slow in the beginning, basically showing us what a wimp Adam was, and didn't really delve into the back story. It just didn't work. Struggled to get through it, and it was not worth my time. - kosmasp - 10 April 2022
Put me out of my misery
Not me as in me personally and while the score here might indicate something sinister, I would also hope no one in the audience. Yes this is more or less by the numbers, especially I reckon if you read what you are about to watch. Since I don't do that, I had one or two surprises along the way.
The thriller elements of the movie work. And if you have been a Game of Thrones fan, the casting will work too. It is quite something seeing someone being something entirely different in GoT and something else here. What does the Fox say? Well the Fox does not say much ... although I'm certain I missed the significance of it appearing and re-appearing. But it does give us something that will come at the end - or rather we'll circle back at the end.
There will be blood and there will be mayhem ... that is for certain. The question is why and how ... nothing ever goes according to plan. And there is almost no one here that is morally above the others ... well the girlfriend/artist somewhat is ... but does that save her or help her? You'll have to watch to find out.
