Abysmal no substance waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (13 August 2016)

This was an astonishingly bad piece of work...how did Patrick Stewart ever agree to be in this turkey?
I cannot understand why anyone would be in this terrible under written, over acted, under directed piece of garbage.
At no point to do you get any kind of empathy or connection with the characters at all. I couldn't even have told you the name of any of the characters. So much shouting and so much blandness. "Judo guy" and "The chick from Arrested Development" was all we could do to keep them separate as they all just blurred into one big bland mess.
You always have to worry with the movie that is written and directed by the same person - it usually means too much control and not enough external advice or input has been given to polish the finished product into something decent.
In this movie, someone needed to step in and say "YOU HAVE NO STORY!" or "YOUR CHARACTERS HAVE NO SUBSTANCE FOR US TO CARE ABOUT IF THEY LIVE OR DIE".
And that last one is a key for any horror movie - we must care, and we must empathize. Here you simply had no development of the characters or any point or reason for any of this to happen.
Utterly dreary and boring, other than some slasher violence and gore, this is BARELY a horror movie.
Avoid this movie, and seriously avoid ever watching a movie by this director.
How does this get a 7/10 on IMDb? This is the sort of movie I would expect gets a 4.5-5 out of 10 at the absolute best.
7 should mean it's an OK movie.
Save yourself nearly two hours of your life, this is a very bad 4/10 movie that insults your intelligence and is an indulgent, annoying, FAILURE of a horror movie.
It literally does NOTHING right.
