More Like .The House Of 90mins Of Pain !!

dreaper from from Swindon, 21st July, 2005

I would like to be able to write a indepth and thought provoking piece on this film, as this is my first attempt at a review, but all i can say is this.I watched as a cast of nine, began down the a road, where we have seen thousands travel before.Execpt this time there was no script,and plot so thin that a piece of Wet Kitchen Roll, would have stood up to the test of ninety odd mins better.All i can say is NO NO NO !!! ONE STAR IS TOO MUCH .

Horrifyingly Bad

Hannah Benhariz from London, England, 31st July, 2005

This film lured me in by the hope that Dennis Hopper would be worth seeing, in no matter what he acted in. WRONG!! This film is tripe. The script is obvious, and cliched to the max. 'The black dude is gonna be from the streets and be filled with kempt up violence', 'The bimbo is going to be selfish and vain' etc. etc. Its rubbish. Even Hopper's attempt at an Irish accent is laughable. The film at times tries to be moody, arty and visually impressive and guess what? It fails. But not as much as the actors do. They are all different varying pieces of wood, some thick planks, some others thin pieces of driftwood. All rotting and stinking. I'm sorry,the only reason I sat through this whole film was in the hope that the ending might be the final salvation. And yes there's the inevitable final twist which made me smurk and then get down on my knees and pray thanks to Jesus that this waste of space Brit flick horror pile up was over. Enjoy!!

Cheap, low budget trash

Tony McNevin from Warrington, England, 3rd August, 2005

Rented this movie from a local renter. Initial feelings were that the acting was so 3rd rate we almost ditched it within 15 minutes of the start. We decided to give it a fair go but wish we hadn't. Predictable plot, ham actors (Yes, that includes you, Hopper). The 18 certificate is probably given for about 10 seconds worth of violence, although there is plenty of other 'shock' violence that doesn't work. Trust me, give it a miss.

deja vu?

dvdsteve3 from Bristol, 12th September, 2005

Seemed to me like an english rip off of Saw but not as gory! Worth watching if you like those "trapped" sort of films and the actors were pretty good.

Worth a watch, I would reccomend watching on a saturday night. enjoy!

Magnificent

TheGreyBlade from , 4th January, 2010

The nine are: a sweary tennis player, a 'Dempsey and Makepeace' stranded NY cop, who clenches his jaw muscles to indicate his fury. A teen rapper who claims that 'white people cant dance', Kelly Brooke's turn as the sad ballet dancer seems to have been characterised from a Bunty comic strip. Then there's Dennis Hopper as a kindly Irish Priest, an 'odd' foreigner and his invisible wife and a teenage runaway who is obviously Scottish. Because she would be. Oh and a shamed Peter Capaldi as a gay fashion designer! A gay fashion designer! All of these people express the opinions that a daily mail focus group would place in their mouths. The forigner is shifty, the rapper is homophobic and sexist. The gay man can speak French!Presumably because he's gay. And at the 40 minute mark a big power ballad plays - like it was Hollyoaks - and everybody drinks in slow motion! And then Asher D puts on an Asher D track and all the women grind! And the dialogue! oh, the dialogue, the sweet, sweet dialogue: 'Why dont you f--k yourself and keep your filthy hands out of my s--t.' 'It's like a bad dream' 'All us blacks are the same' 'God have mercy on us all!' 'The priest keeps the gun!' This is a remarkable film.

House of nine

A Customer from Perth, 19th October, 2008

This film takes a while to get into and even after that its not that exciting. I do not recommend viewing.
