"How can they escape...if they see everything?"

Summary
David and Amy Fox find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere when their car breaks down. Luckily, they come across a motel with a TV to entertain them during their overnight stay. However, there's something very strange and familiar about the Grade-Z slasher movies that the motel broadcasts for its guests' enjoyment. They all appear to be filmed in the very same room they occupy! Realizing that they are trapped in their room with hidden cameras now aimed at them filming their every move, David and Amy desperately find a means of escape through locked doors, crawlspaces and underground tunnels before they too become the newest stars of the mystery filmmaker's next cult classic!

Review
This movie is complete all the way around. It is a blend of great acting, excellent directing, and wonderful production ~ with a twisting storyline and plot. You will ask yourself throughout the movie whether or not these two "victims" will make it through the night. You are kept on the edge of a clift throughout the whole movie. However, I will admit that this movie starts out slow, but it picks up the pace pretty quickly, the only thing you ask yourself is when will they realize they're marked for death? This movie is really intense, because this shit does happen in real life, and that can be a frightening thing to imagine. I will also make a little note to say this movie is best watched at night, because it makes for a all~nighter, you won't be able to fall asleep. However, if you watch it in the daytime, the suspense and effects are dull, the movie takes place at night and is basically meant to be watched at night.

I have to disagree with you on this one. I watched it at night and I didn't find it very frightening...and I'm pretty easy to scare too. I think it's because I'm actually more scared of the supernatural stuff than the realistic stuff :sweating:. The ending was pretty depressing too if I remember correctly. In my opinion, it's a solid movie, but nothing spectacular.

Also, you weren't kidding about coming back with a bang and lots of reviews. Good job :y:.

It might just depend on the person then. Me, if I watch a horror movie or something along those lines, I've got to atleast have one light on so I can see my surroundings, if not my imagination can get the best of me... :whistle:
