13 Hours in a Warehouse

R 3.9
2008 1 hr 32 min Horror , Thriller , Mystery

As five underworld heavies settle in for an all night stay at an abandoned warehouse and former film studio, a series of bizarre and unsettling occurrences quickly lead them to believe they are not alone. It was supposed to be a simple night of babysitting a single hostage, but when a series of numbers began to appear on the walls things soon took a dark turn. Later, after the hostage escapes, the perplexed thugs not only learn that there is a rat in the ranks, but also discover the unsettling nature of the films that were shot in the warehouse. Now, as terror takes hold, the thieves are about to discover that they are being stalked from the shadows and that their odds of living to see daybreak are shrinking with each passing minute.Written by Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

A friend and I were quite bored yesterday evening, and with both of us being fans of low budget horror flicks, figured we would give this one a watch. If you are of like mind and in a similar situation, save yourself some mental anguish and remove this from your netflicks que. No really, open a new tab to your netflicks account and do it now. I cannot begin to understand the mental workings of those who have positively reviewed this film, nor would I want to. Were I to author an idiots guide on how to monumentally fail at film making, my readers would be directed to watch this film as a failsafe. Terrible acting? Check. Poor stages and lighting? Hell yes. Plot points stolen from classic horror films, mashed together willy-nilly, and vomited up in true Linda Blair fashion? You bet your as*. From the first line of poorly scripted and pathetically delivered dialog to the hackneyed attempt at a surprise ending, this film is a true lemon.P.S.: For those of you unfortunate enough to have seen either "House of the Dead" or "Zombie Nation", just think of "13 Hours in a Warehouse" as an equivalently disastrous film possessed of a lower budget.

"13 Hours in a Warehouse" is probably the worst movie have ever seen. The story shines the most of any elements involved in the production, and it's easily one of the top 15 worst stories I've ever witnessed. If I had to rank every actor I've ever watched the 5 guys starring in this movie are probably the five worst. The most interesting part of the movie for me was seeing how these awful actors could continue to top each other. Literally every single line in the movie was spoken like it was being read directly off the lackluster and unabashedly stolen script, which attempts to emulate Tarantino every chance it gets. The problem with this is that Tarantino both had excellent actors and talked about interesting subjects in a fresh and witty way. Kaufman can do either. I have literally seen more wit and creativity from a Family Circus cartoon. I would venture as to say that the acting of this film alone makes it one of the ten worst of all time, it's just that bad. Sometimes while watching the movie I struggled to fathom how bad the acting is, I think it would have sounded more realistically if they were blatantly reading off scripts placed right in front of them.The special effects are inexcusably terrible. People will say that because it's a low budget movie they should get a pass there, but these effects are on par with stuff seen in the 1940s, when even the best technology couldn't rival the worst technology of today's times. I would probably rate the realism of the ghosts somewhere above the original King Kong but below Wallace and Grommit.Overall, this movie should be sought after and viewed by everyone with the means to do so. It is the single worst movie ever made, and therefore is an essential film for anyone who enjoys the subject.

After a gallery robbery the crooks wait in a warehouse for the man who hired them to show up and pay them. The location was once used to make films of an unsettling nature. As the night wears on the ghosts of the past, a rat in the ranks and a hostage they grabbed all conspire to to dwindle the numbers of thieves. Okay caper horror film starts off good and then begins to wobble as logic comes and goes beginning with why do they kidnap the woman who's car they carjack? (Other than to get a woman into the mix.) Taken on its own terms its an okay little movie, unremarkable and somewhat forgettable, but haunted by the feeling that the film should have been better. As it stands now its something I'd wait to stumble over on cable.

Just imagine you and your friends, a bunch of cinema fans, have time to kill, and one comes out with the idea: let's make a zero budget movie. If you are in this mood this movie is an absolute must: you will get a lot of good hints and a (short) list of things to avoid. And dream to be as good a beginner as this Kaufman is. You will need a location: if it is good you can just write the script inside it, by night. An abandoned, gloomy, brownish, creepy warehouse would be perfect; you can have it for just a few beers. The genre, of course, horror/fantasy to avoid the traps of intimate dramas, or the costs action movies. With a wise script special effects can be very simple and at the same time so pertinent to their background to be unarguable (when you see them in this movie, just reflect how they are obtained and what's the relationship with the story). The movie has apparently no pretensions, the language is simple, the end may be imagined, the use of cinematographic archetypes abundant, citations range from Charlie Chaplin (a character features this across the whole movie, and, please don't think it's naive or stupid, on the contrary, it gives a special flavor) to the standard up-to-date gore. A partial theatrical approach also helps giving some structure, but in the whole, it is the location that keeps all together. There are nice ideas here and there that put salt in the soup, some scenes that need a bit of cleaning, the suspense is always alive. A film to look with critical eye to fully enjoy it. But if you are a lazy consumer and like the genre, it is worth the price anyway.
