An average movie

I wasn’t really expecting much from this flick but the concept had some potential so I thought I might as well check it out. Well, first of all, let’s talk about this concept. To be honest, I wasn’t really convinced. Why would the violence stop if you would allow people to do whatever they want for 12 hours? Furthermore, the amount of damages would be huge and, of course, the emotional and psychological impact on the victims and even the perpetrators would be massive as well. So, the whole thing didn’t make much sense but logic is not something you should expect from your average horror flick. The other disappointing thing was that, even though it was a nationwide event, the whole thing took place only in one house. They made this choice obviously to keep a low budget but, with this concept, they kind of guaranteed some massive mayhem on a huge scale but they eventually never delivered on this promise. And yet, in spite of all these flaws, I thought it was still a decent watch. Indeed, even though the concept didn’t make much sense, it was something original and there was also a decent cast involved (Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey). To conclude, my rating might be generous here but I thought it was not bad but it is pretty obvious that they could have done something much bolder with this idea.
