...thoroughly irritating and hopelessly inept...

Reel Film Reviews
De um lado, a direção fraca e o roteiro esquemático; de outro, a alegoria sobre classes sociais e a ordem surpreendente das mortes.Mas o ótimo desfecho desequilibra a balança.

Wonderful cast, good concept, nice ending. Good choice of movie if you are having a boring sunday afternoon

How many locked in the house with complete stranger's and only one can walk out alive movies are they going to make. That said, this is a very good movie with that subject line. As far as being a copy cat of other movies like saw or saw II, I don't see it that way. 9 people are abducted and put into a sealed house, only one can walk out alive and win 5 million dollars. The 9 people are from all walks of life and it is a little comical at times. If I was playing it wouldn't take 128 minutes to decide the winner. All in all a good weeknight movie to enjoy but not for a group of Scare fest members or not for a Halloween get together. Still it gets 3 1/2 stars.

For the love of God, if you dig this sort of setup, stick with the original House on Haunted Hill, The Most Dangerous Game, Ten Little Indians, or And Then There Were None, even the SAW movies, Breathing Space, or Lifeboat, but avoid this turkey at all costs. It has all the cliches of the others, all oif the tedium, and none of the suspense or imagination. A complete waste of my time; very little gratuitous violence and nobody got naked.

House on Haunted Hill meets Saw 2 meets Cube with a low budget and forgettable acting. The first hour is slow and all set up before "the payoff" kicks in. Liked the ending so that helped. Not scary, low on gore. If you can, catch this on cable.
