• Avoid At All Costs

  This movie is awful in a bad way. Some movies are so bad, they're funny. This movie takes everything you can do poorly in a film to the worst level possible. It seems like it was filmed with a bargain bin hand-held camera, and recorded on a tape recorder with a condenser mic. The story is even worse, given no background on any characters, except that the main couple is having marriage troubles (this is made known very early on). It would be insulting the call the acting mediocre, because that word implies something better than what I saw. Viewers will be left with absolutely no story, and without a story, no resolution to the events seen in the movie. I call these "events" because there seems to be no logic in the flow of this film.

• Low budget, low quality

  Starts VERY slowly, with a lot of wasted time on scenery passing a car. Virtually no background on the characters, and what little we do hear is very vague, and less than informative. The main characters do manage to portray a little emotion from time to time, but with next to nothing to support it, the effort is almost wasted. The plot, such as it is, is weak, and doesn't progress far enough, or fast enough, to hold the attention of viewers. The "action" is almost nonexistent, the possibilities for suspense wasted or ignored, and the resolution as dull as the rest of the film. Add to this at least three real goofs: at one point a crew member can be seen ducking behind the main characters. Soon after, a camera, microphone, or some piece of equipment is seen to the right. A little later, there are repeated shots with some sort of wire or cable across part of a dock, where nothing of the sort should be. I could deal with low budget, and even such goofs, if there was more meat to the story. All in all, it was like watching something put together for a school project. With a better storyline, and a little more attention to detail, the producers might come up with something worthwhile.

• Horrible movie

  This movie is only 70 minutes but feels much much longer than that. The first portion of the film moves so excruciatingly slow that you are actually hoping for the crazy morons to come just to speed the movie up. The couple in this movie are so bland and boring. For example she's having a heart to heart conversation with him and he's out looking at everything but her. What a complete douche bag. When the two crazy brothers finally do something, the sound quality isn't that great and it's hard to understand what the bald guy is saying. The two crazy weirdos kept them captive for a few hours I suppose...which is quite disturbing, but then just leave the next morning. The wife wakes up and her husband is in a boat. she calls out to him and he rows his boat to her and they embrace..and then it ends. The two crazy brothers don't get killed or arrested or anything. What a waste of an ending and a waste of a movie. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE

  After watching them drive for 10 minutes (seemed like 20) and slowly talk to each other I was already wondering how soon they would be attacked. For 30 minutes they drove, and drove, stopping at a store and a few lakes, seemingly trying to decide which one they will be murdered at (or was that just me hoping...). The couple's conversations were so dry and there was an uncomfortable lag between their replies to each other. I was passively watching this with my daughter and she was writhing in mental anguish at the overt monotony this move exuded, slowly building (coasting?) to an anti-climactic ending. Watch this only if you desperately need something to make fun of.

  This is the worse home invasion film I have ever seen, including the ones with Eric Robert and those in languages I don't understand. Joe (James Tupper) and Jane (Kit Pongetti) are having some marriage issues as they drive to their upstate NY Lake cabin. Top of their marriage problems appears to be communication. We later find out that Joe reminds her too much of her father who just passed on, someone who was never there for her and blah blah blah. Then they are terrorized in their home by two mouth breathers who claim they know her from childhood. People she can't remember. Now at this point they could have really twisted the plot...had they planted some earlier clues, but they chose not to do so. They other thing I can think of is that these intruders were symbolic of their communication and or marriage issue, which made the film "understandable", but not any more enjoyable. Consider this your warning. Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity. Joe and Jane in their undergarments. Jane getting forcefully groped. Go watch something with Eric Roberts instead. Bio: James Tupper has a love child with Anne Heche. Kit Pongetti sings in a band.
