The synopsis sounds interesting. This is a full feature length film? I wonder if they're able to keep that up without bleeding it to death.

Still requires registration to view the trailer.

i saw the trailer last night.  it creeped me out and made me giggle in equal doses.

[modage]

cool poster and interesting premise. i saw the trailer before Open Water and thought it might atleast be worth renting.  

EDIT: i just watched the UNCENSORED TEASER and you can count me there opening week/day.

[Pwaybloe]

No, it's just lame.

This movie sucks for so many reasons.  It starts off with an interesting opening, you have Cary Elwes and this other guy in a room, they are given the setup-- you have until (I forget what time) to kill the other guy, or you both die.  Cool.  

Well... the actor who plays the other guy just FUCKING BLOWS.  He keeps over-acting, delivering these cheesy one-liners... I sat in disbelief wondering who the fuck cast this douche?  When the movie was over I discovered it was the writer who played the part.  UGH.

The Danny Glover story is whatevs, I guess he figured since he was playing an 'unstable' cop, it wouldn't be a Murtaugh phone-in.  It still kinda is.  

'Saw' wants to be Fincher-esque in the worst way (the crime scenes could have been other sins in 'Seven,' heck, all the victims are essentially punished for their sins here), and it never works.  I was two steps ahead of the story and even the final twist (if you know your character actors, you'll see this coming) which is beyond illogical.

For some odd reason though, I like Cary Elwes.

For some odd reason though, I like Cary Elwes.

It's the 'Princess Bride' factor, right? That's what it is for me. I always root for him to be in something good.

I'm sure this will scare me, because I jump easily, but it still looks like complete crap. I'd rather just see the short film.
