Please don't spend money on this.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I was shocked just how bad this movie was. It was well made, well acted, great scenery, and like a said, you can polish a turd, but its still a turd. As well made as this movie was it was terrible. It was a typical slasher movie except all of the characters have had their brains surgically removed. None of the characters do things that people in real life do, nor do they react to situations like a normal human being. Two scenes that jump out at me are when the 'mysterious' hitchhiker shows up at the main characters remote cabin with a stab wound. The main female character is a nurse and immediately begins to give him medical aid (I with the scene so far), so the tertiary blonde bimbo say in the background, I will call an ambulance. The nurse lady tells her that there is no time for that. Then the blonde watches impotently as the main character saves his life. What the 'f' do you mean that there is no time to call an ambulance, the blonde wasn't helping anyway, so call the effing ambulance. But here's the kicker, after the mysterious stranger is going to live, they don't call the police, an ambulance, they are going to let this wounded guy stay in there remote cabin without an explanation to why he was stabbed. I don't know about you, but if a guy shows up at my door with a gushing stab wound, granted I am going to do everything that I can to save his life, but the ambulance and police are going to be called. The second unforgivable scene is when the protagonists now know who one of the killers are, and still let him back into the house. The movie was so terribly written it begs for an explanation. How could you have gathered a group of intelligent actors and not have anybody say, 'you know this doesn't make any sense'...

Let me say that first time director Kelly Smith did a nice job. Especially the cutting or editing was well done but that's normal knowing that he was a negative cutter on major productions like The Queen and In Bruges for example. But let's go back towards his flick. It was a good story with a little twist in it but the only thing that was a bit exaggerated was the scene with the maggot in one's eye. It had in fact nothing to do with the storyline and it was full CGI. And watching closer I think that I saw some CGI blood too. But overall the red stuff did flow and the effects used were nicely done. Towards the end when Sophie Linfield (Paige) walks towards the shack you could see that she was acting and it was a bit of a let down for me. There was no gore or nudity in it, it's just a thriller with now and then some horror. By which I mean, it takes a while before things go awry, you really get to know the victims. It wasn't a slasher or a torture porn, so I would recommend it to watch it as a teaser on a Friday night with some friends before the real stuff comes around.

This movie was a complete waste of my time. It was as if a middle schooler with no imagination wrote it and never had it edited. The film was predictable and lacked any suspenseful moments. In addition, the plot failed to make any sense. The way the characters were killed off gave no real reason to the question, why? Furthermore, where was the gore and guts, I thought this was a horror film? The cut off scenes proved to be insignificant and rather than keeping the viewer interested it left them tired and confused. The film was sloppy, irresponsible, and showed no balls.Though I thought this film was terrible I must mention aspects I liked. The portrayal of an asocial serial killer was mainly comparable with what would match a FBI profile. This is especially so with the killer's calling card as it was consistent in each murder. However, in real life the killer wouldn't target people he knew and would generally be more careful over all.

I was fortunate enough recently to attend the premiere of new horror flick "Don't Let Him In", at the impressive BAFTA theatre, and I have to say I was very impressed. Horror is not a genre I regularly choose to watch but this was a slick, edge of the seat movie which captured the imagination of the audience and was engaging from beginning to end. I was quite surprised when the credits started to roll as the time seemed to whizz by. I guess this was due to high production values and a score which was spot on for the piece. The characters were plausible, if in some cases a little naive (or even stupid!), but I think that's horror....and there was plenty of room for blood and guts to make the room scream. If you're about to go on holiday with the in-laws and want to put them off coming with you, make them watch "Don't Let Him In" - problem solved.
