Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

A Major Disappointment

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

a group of complete strangers are put in a locked room together to test a new pill being developed by a pharmaceutical company. although they don,t know it at first, the pill is meant to grant powers to the person who takes itthe prospect of a pill that grants powers may seem enticing, but as the characters soon discover, the powers they gain may not be so easy to control, and pretty soon, they start to die gruesome deaths, and are unable to leave the room for 8 hours. at 80 mins, it's pretty short, but the story moved at a good pace and i was never bored

I haven't the slightest clue as to why people infer this movie has anything to do with superheroes. It certainly does not, not even in the slightest context, other than perhaps someone saying the word "superhero" and someone mentioning something about Aquaman. (I suppose that saying "zombie" in a movie that has nothing to do with zombies makes it a zombie movie?)There are no superheroes of any kind, only exploding people, and well, also a person that sort of accidentally teleports their arm and then dies, which also counts as an explosion in a way, or at least an "explosion" of blood.The actors aren't really acting so much as just saying their lines, and the movie actually looks as if it doesn't have a director, which creates a sort of curious effect throughout. It is more interesting, to an extent, than a lot of other movies at this level of budget and competence. Ironically, the most obnoxious character (who makes the movie almost unwatchable) is also the one with the only memorable lines.What happens in this movie: One, people standing around arguing about whether or not to take a pill. Two, people standing around discussing what sort of effect the pill might have on them. Three, people exploding and leaving parts of themselves in the air, on the floor, or on the wall.And there you have it.

Yea, I could probably nick a half-a-star or more off of this for trivial reasons, but goddammit this was highly entertaining.The characters are circumscribed well, if a bit cartoonish, but they are played with real commitment and so anyone with heart will go with that aspect.The "physicist" among them was charming and manic and had a great close-out in the end credits.I liked this as much as I did "Coherence" and "Chronicle" (and others like "Primer,") with the bonus that the superhero and the time-travel conceits were included in one movie.If you're just looking to get your fantasy stroked, this movie will do just fine.

The movie in and of itself is just OK and nothing special or out of the ordinary. It's touted as a movie about people with "super powers" and the truth of the matter is it has nothing to do with that at all. Just because a person has a weird ability out of the ordinary that has no benefit for mankind is not a super power. It's just that, an odd useless ability.The script is a mess and full of holes. It leaves too many unanswered questions and there is very little character development. But what can you expect from a movie that is barely over an hour..?The quality of the special effects were about par with the budget: nothing special. The acting seemed forced and some of the lines were actually kind of funny.You may like it if you don't mind movies of what I've described above, otherwise you won't be impressed.
