Best movie of this year hands down!
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
After getting stranded in a subway tunnel late one night, a group of friends find themselves in the clutches of a cannibalistic group of dwellers living in the area and must find a way to get out of the situation before they become food for the beings.On the whole this was a total disappointment since it has a lot going for it. One of the best parts here is the fact that the film crams a lot of action into here which really makes this one a lot of fun, with a creepy location and a realistic scenario coming into play for a lot of times here. The early set-up for getting stuck here in the tunnel is quite plausible but gets this settled on the action early on as they race through the darkened tunnel with the howling, yelling group right on their heels, the encounter with the others at the abandoned station is insanely suspenseful utilized the darkness and the decrepit set-up quite well while also managing to get some good gore gags in here while setting up the later attacks nicely, and the series of extended, extra- long foot-chases through the remaining tunnels here makes for a fun time. As well, the several confrontations in their lair are great fun here with the howling dogs, the demented behavior of the cannibals as well as bringing in some really suspenseful scenes as they try to remain undetected to escape while the second one there is a frantic, brutal series of brawls that get the frenzied action quite well. This one also manages to really work nicely here in the darkened tunnels and the different cannibals which are quite creepy-looking and imposing, creating an all-around chilling looking when combined with the rather nice blood-letting here makes up this one's positives which is a shame since this one really should've been a lot of fun but instead is a huge missed opportunity. This one is really damaged by the film's incessant and unyielding love affair with a shaking camera that goes on during each of the big action sequences, rendering them to a mostly incomprehensible blur and making it impossible to tell what's going on. Since it's so dark in the area to begin with, this makes its biggest scenes a rather indistinguishable mess that cuts off the selling point of the film and the moment you want it to happen the most and really hurting this one overall. Combined with its rather offbeat pace where it tends to drag when it's dealing with a totally uninteresting cast yet race by when dealing with the confrontations as well as far too much fake sentiment that doesn't do anything, these flaws are enough to hold it down when it didn't need them.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and mild sexual content.
Breckin Meyer definitely didn't seem to fit the role of his character in this movie. Breckin always plays a goody two shoes nice guy in his movies. It's rare that you see this guy in horror movies, never mind the fact that he plays the d*bag in this movie. It just didn't seem like he fit the role of a d*bag. I was disappointed with the character choice in this. Kip Pardue should have played the d*bag. It would have made more sense. And no doubt, I bet Breckin Meyer was the top billed actor in this movie anyway. This movie wasn't worth my time, I wouldn't suggest that anyone should watch this movie. This is just another B-rated horror movie in which the payroll probably exceeded the profits.
This movie is terrible. So bad so, I have written and re-written this review because I'm afraid IMDb would find the post offensive. I will keep is simple: terrible script that wants the viewer to be completely void of common sense; situations that are completely out of this world in a bad way; I just want to prattle on but I can't because I'm allowing this film to waste more and more of my time. Never have I rooted for EVERYONE to die in this film. I wanted a nuke just to take out the whole city and end it all. I should have realized how bad it was when we as the views see the reason the 6 characters get off of the subway. That in itself made it evident that I was in for a steaming pile.Avoid, avoid, avoid.
After a failed pick-up attempt on a subway train lands four guys and two girls in an abandoned stop at four in the morning they realize they have bigger problems then trying to find a way out. There really is not much to say about this one. Not much to this movie but finding people and killing and dismembering them. VERY Gory!!! For a "Ghosthouse" horror movie it actually is not too bad though. The best way to describe it would be if the creatures from "I am legend" and "The Descent" lived in the New York subways. If you are into gore and a decent story this would be a good pick up. I give it a C.Would I watch again? - I don't think so.
