The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Im a huge fan of Paris Hilton. So I saw this on TV and recorded it. It starts out with about 8 wealthy British twenty somethings who go to a beautiful country house in Scotland. Its hysterical because Paris Hilton is a peacock among the pigeons, she walks into the house in a hot pink track suit. Everyone else is wearing muted shades of brown. She is tan, they are pale, she is blonde, they are brunette. I love how she talks, its basically like she is playing herself, but Paris is a personality so its cool. Personally I love how she plays the character Jo, a rich international jet set type. She talks to her boyfriend in a way thats actually realistic, she says, "First you never buy me any presents and now you don't even want to go away with me?" He buys her some kind of early cell phone, planner type gadget that cost 800 but it really cost 600. She says, "Its the only gift I've ever gotten from you and Im going to keep it. Cheap Skate!" Its hilarious, then she sashays around, everywhere she walks she struts like a model and she is just so damn beautiful. In another scene she slips into a girl room and tells her she looks fabulous, "Where were you last weekend?" Paris replies, "I totally forgot I went skiing." Then she gives her a gift and damns what the Swiss were wearing. In another scene she struts in to a girls room to borrow the bath. Every scene she does, she steals the spotlight. Her performance might not be A+ to most people but I loved it. Its funny and she plays the role well. The movie is not so good after the first 30 minutes, because at that 30 minutes mark Paris dies. So if your a Paris fan, and I mean she looks amazing, then watch this movie. Its not bad as horror films go, sure its low budget and cheesy but no one sucks. Overall a great little 85 minute movie. Enjoy!!!

Like so many others, I only watched this to evaluate firsthand Paris Hilton's acting ability or lack thereof. I have seen one other film starring PH and she performed brilliantly, (although the lighting wasn't real good) but she wasn't given much dialog, so it wasn't really a fair test.In Nine Lives, although she had lots of competition, she still managed to pull off easily the most wooden performance of the "production". I use that word loosely, because a production usually implies that there is some sort of coherent plot that isn't too obvious and predictable.Had things been done a little more tongue-in-cheek, this film could have landed solidly in the so-bad-it's-good bin. As it is, it's just pathetically lame. Film-school project. Sorry.

I've seen LOADS of slasher films in my time. I've also seen loads of low budget British films. This is the worst example of either that I've ever seen! First off, there was a HUGE picture of Paris Hilton on the cover. It said it was a horror film on the back of the box. "Wow! This could perhaps be a kitsch laugh" I thought as I went to the video store counter. How wrong I was.Paris is only in the film for 10 minutes - she's the first to die. Which leaves it to 8 really really terrible British actors to end up getting chopped up. To give you an idea how bad this is I have never seen any of these actors before or since - they haven't even been on the likes of The Bill of Hollyoaks. Oh! And they're all very posh! They're probably pals of the writer/director! The plot is so tedious that I had to fast forward through the majority if this film - even though it was only 80 minutes - because it was so flaming tedious! Steer clear viewers! It's not worth it!

Okay so I caught this movie perhaps within the first half hour. I basically skipped over it until I saw a very dead Paris Hilton in only her panties (She went down true Paris style). Instantly overjoyed and intrigued at this dead Paris I began to watch the movie.I was about to turn it off about ten minutes later when the Scottish hottie danced across the screen.The movie was kind of predictable, direction was interesting. Acting was eh-ish. If it were any other movie I would have given it a 2, but I rate it as a 5 for the absolute eye candy.Perhaps the monologue at the end wasn't the greatest because it basically was poorly done, but the mouth that the words were coming from certainly more than makes up for the acting skills.Watch it if your hormonal, or are in serious need of seeing a dead Paris Hilton.
