All I know is that it's like Big Brother with a killer in the mix. It also has Bradley Cooper before he became quite the household name. It has mixed reviews and ratings which is not a particularly good sign. Though at times I have been known to like stuff others don't and vice versa. I have never heard of the director Marc Evans. Apparently not many like his other movies all too much either. I have never heard of David Hilton either. James Watkins helps write here. You would know him from directing The Woman in Black as well as writing and directing Eden Lake. Both of which were excellent horrors. Anyways let us see if this is worth the watch.
The shots they use through this feel pretty odd. The timeline of the story is interesting. It seems to completely skip the first like 6 months they are there and just get to the last days where everything suddenly implodes. The weird thing is that it doesn't feel like that's the case besides some comments and I guess the situation with food. I kind of wish it did show the beginning and then moved along. This is definitely a slow burner so doing that would have been acceptable. It's possible that none of that would be interesting enough I guess, but it could have added to the characters. The deaths were a bit average except maybe two. There were some great twists and turns. The ending was pretty good and messed up.
The acting was a bit subpar. Kris Lemche and Bradley Cooper were the best things about the cast. Everyone else was either just average or kind of terrible. At least the characters had been fairly likable. Emma was the typical lead girl you would expect with very little to set her apart from characters of her type. If they had picked a few more good actors this may have been much better.
The camera style is pretty shotty. The way they capture some moments is just plain awful. The characters are fine, but most of the actors aren't all that great. Bradley Cooper and Kris Lemche were the saving grace. A few deaths and the twists also made this more enjoyable. It's a fairly average film with a very slow pace to it. It's at least a little enjoyable.
