Absolutely the worst movie.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

PROS: Something that ATM did really well was provide an environment that had plenty of opportunities to create suspense. Another thing that was very important to this film were the choices the characters made, they were smart and capable. This made it possible for there to be good build up or rise to the climax of the movie. The main antagonist doesn't say anything throughout the entirety of the film, this however doesn't affect the overall impact of his or her decisions. This really goes to show how well the actors were in the film. Acting without dialogue will often be more difficult then acting with dialogue, therefore the main "villain" had to act better to still carry out his or hers purpose in the film.CONS: ENDING!!! This movie had one of if not the worst endings of any horror movie I have ever seen! The ending should show how well the end of the movie connects to the movie as a whole. Then ending of ATM didn't connect to the film, nor did it help the viewer understand the intentions of the antagonist. In this movie, in particular, I think it would have been more helpful to have a clear ending. There were also a few things in the movie that stretched slightly away from being realistic. For example, the actions of the main three characters were semi unbelievable.www.chorror.com

ATM has a story that is half-original, there's loads of movies about a mysterious person messing with other people, but what makes this half- original is the setting, it's rare that a film features people stuck in an ATM cubicle, also there is literally only a few cast members which makes a change, it proves that a cine doesn't have to have tons of characters for the story to be enthralling.Here we have three main characters "David Hargrove" (Brian Geraghty), "Corey Thompson" (Josh Peck), "Emily Brandt" (Alice Eve), all three are accountant co-workers who drive home late from an office Christmas party, we see that "David" is passive in personality, and "Corey" bosses him around to an extent. "Corey" aggressively urges "David" to stop at an ATM so that "Corey" can get some money to buy a pizza at a late night restaurant, grudgingly "David" agrees, they both go into an ATM, "Emily" clearly feels uncomfortable waiting in the car by herself, so she joins them, soon enough a strange man in a parka coat stands outside the ATM staring at them, they try to communicate with him, he doesn't communicate back, they are scared of this mysterious man and their fears are heightened when the mysterious man kills a guy for no reason.The majority of the film focuses on the three co-workers trying to get out of the ATM in different ways while the killer is still hanging around.The film score composed by David Buckley is perfect, it has that chilly vibe which suits the movie due to it being set at wintertime at around two o clock and onward in the morning.The performances are natural, they portray the mixed emotions of fear, anger and frustration very well.There is a kind of twist in the movie where a person is mistaken for another person and the situation results in tragedy, that twist is unexpected.We see that "David" eventually starts sticking up for himself against his pushy co-worker "Corey", but it's all a little too late, that attitude would have been better back in the car when "Corey" was constantly on "David's" behind about getting food at two in the morning.The motivation of the killer is simple, he is sick and twisted and likes to play psychological games, we also see that he manipulates the ATM cameras to set people up.You can't help but think while watching this movie that the three of them should toughen up and leave that ATM at the same time, the mysterious person did not have a gun and it would be impossible to attack all three of them at the very same time, unless he is some martial arts trained black-belt which doesn't seem to be the case.ATM becomes less interesting when "Corey" is killed off, after that the movie is still watchable because you want to know what happens next, but it isn't as interesting. Even though "Corey" is a jerk, he brings a trait to the movie that has you wanting to keep watching, three characters are fine, any less than that and the movie doesn't have the same interesting factor.ATM is labelled as a horror, but it is actually a psychological chiller, there is not enough murder scenes for it to be a horror, the murder scenes are difficult to watch, but the movie is much more than that, horror always focuses on the killing, whereas this movie is more psychological due to the killer's motives. ATM is also a chiller because it gives you chills down your spine about this mysterious person, you can't help but think at first "why is he doing this?" "Is this something that he's done more than once?" - that is the chiller aspect because we don't know anything about the killer until the very end of the movie.

I was thoroughly disappointed by this movie. I had moderate expectations due to a mediocre trailer, but the bad acting and plot holes left a lot to be desired. The female character displayed the characteristic features of a desperate and useless typical lead role, i.e. whiny bitch. There was no explanation, we were constantly wondering why any of this was happening. There was only one room used, I wanted to see some variation in scenery. And as usual, the only black guy in the movie died... This movie is bad Really bad Do not recommend I would give a score lower than 1 but that is not allowed Thanks for reading #sophfleurtomsubscribe to my review channel.

Yes, "ATM" has a plot that needs to keep three people in the ATM vestibule but in doing so you make them the stupidest imbeciles. God, the sprinkler in the vestibule, it's position absurdly located. The chances to escape when the killer is preoccupied. As you will see mentioned time and again, parking the car so far away from the vestibule. The crap means to monitor activity in and especially *around* the vestibule. How Brian Geraghty is framed when enough evidence should verify his innocence in all but the murder of the poor customer in *the exact same parka the killer wears*. No other camera but one. And that camera appropriately condemns Geraghty. Oh, and because ATM vestibules are so predictable and easy to strategically fool, the parka killer can go into his storage room and chart out his diagrams to do this whole coordinated sociopathic shindig some more. Might be hard to find three dimbulbs as stupefying as Geraghty, Alice Eve, and Josh Peck to coordinate his attacks in the future. The three handsome leads work at a financial firm, with Peck the annoying tagalong who inserts himself into what could have been a nice ride home for Geraghty and Eve (both clearly like each other, but they have a hard time communicating it absent nervous awkwardness; Eve was leaving the firm; it's Christmas time). Peck is a cheapskate abusing his friendship with Geraghty by begging for a ride out of the way, urging him to stop at an ATM. Worse is Peck avoiding using his own card, taking time purposely so Geraghty would come to rescue. Eve follows suit, and all three find a creepy guy in a parka standing outside. Instead of the *three* of them walking past him and to their car, they hang out in the vestibule afraid of him. And the killer begins to f*ck with them for the rest of the night. As you might expect, the killer outsmarts them at every turn, capitalizing on their unwillingness to gang up on his ass. A security cop and guy walking a dog get their heads crushed by the parka killer. The convenient plot gives the killer the aforementioned customer in a parka stopping by the vestibule, surprising the three leads who is attacked immediately. The ATM camera capturing what happens *inside* while the convenient plot in no way identifies what might be going on outside. Rolled eyes ensue as we watch the killer do whatever he wants...and would again. No doubt a sequel would have found others as stupid as the three principles. Eve on Geraghty's shoulders trying to cut on the sparklers, her begging him not to leave her when Peck decides to brave the outside *alone*, the three of them with the chance to escape multiple times and yet always returning to the vestibule, it causes the brain to hurt. Siege plot really paints it's characters ineffectually. The killer does look ominous and intimidating in distance shots, silhouetted by the dark, with a savagery when pouncing on folks...his close-up face to face with Peck as he buries his knife in slowly in unsettling in its intimacy.
