Ten women spend the night in a supposedly haunted mansion on Spektor Island in December 1972. Crazy superstitions don't stop them from raiding the wine cellar and throwing a party, at least until the first murder.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Admirable film.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The acting in this movie is really good.
TEN is an odd and elaborately plotted indie horror with a storyline that seems to copy the Agatha Christie films of old, such as AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. The plot sees ten female strangers randomly invited to a creepy old mansion, only to find themselves trapped inside while a pig-masked killer works their way through them. The staging isn't the worst I've seen, but the whole production has an amateur feel which works against it.The main problem with this film is the hysterical acting, which is on the level of a local amateur dramatics production. When you combine the low level acting with the pretentious dialogue it doesn't really help and makes all of the performances rather embarrassing. The story just sort of ambles along, throwing in some gratuitous nudity in an attempt to hold the attention, but by the time the non-twist of an ending occurs you really won't have been entertained.
I love horrors and small budget independent movies in this genre, because I often find decent ones with very original plots. Ten is one of such movies! It is not a standard horror flick, and with elements of thriller and drama, its story is deeper than you'd expect. It explores personalities of ten women, with completely different personalities, in a stressful situation. In a way, their characters are sometimes overacting, so acting is not superb as some reviewers would like, but only because it is not meant to be superb. The viewer should examine the subtext and themes behind the story lines to truly understand and appreciate the movie. I liked it and give it a score of 8/10!
The movie poster looked interesting so why not... This is something special, something different. Hollywood maybe out of ideas with remakes, reboots, re-imagining, but this is a little film that shines brighter than a thousand suns.I didn't know what to expect when I started watching this film, to be honest I thought this was a sub-par horror film. Boy was I wrong! What year is this? Where's her face? Why can't they see them? These are only a few questions they will leave you on the edge of your seat. At times I laughed until I stopped. I highly recommend smoking a bowl before hand or drinking you favorite alcoholic beverage and enjoy a bizarre tale of mystery and suspense.
If I could give this negative stars I would, sadly there isn't that capability. Is it a 'spoiler' to say that this movie is godawful? Probably should be. It would seem that the makers of this movie thought they were being clever. They were wrong. Maybe, and I stress this, Maybe I would have felt something for the characters and enjoyed this film as a romp or even a women's affirmation if it wasn't for the terrible acting, dialogue, writing and directing, with the odd spastic movements of the camera and nonsensical inserts that didn't really hearken back to any movie I have ever seen (and I have seen A LOT of movies, several of this genre and many more of seventies schtick). And that's supposed to be the selling features of this movie?Sorry, I guess I didn't get that you can make a really bad movie and win an award...where's my smartphone, I need to call up a few buddies...I'm thinking a goof on Hollywood, should be fun!I just finished watching 'Zombeavers'. That was funny, and campy, and a heck of a good time. Ten, in comparison is none of those. Hell, it's not even smart.
