Kat Webb Not bad although I find it very hard to believe anyone could remain trapped in a sauna for anymore than an hour or so with the heat on.Also when the heater is disabled they would not survive more than a few minutes of carbon monoxide poisoning so I would like to read the actual story and see how vaguely this movie is based on it.It was pretty obvious from the start that the shy girl who passes up a drink and is frightened to have a little fun was going to survive right till the end as that is almost always what happens in a college age horror movie.Overall I'd say it is a good movie worth watching if you're a fan of horror movies although it is a little serious for my liking. The only scene which is remotely gory is when one of the boys puts his hands and arms on the burning hot stove to try and disable it then it explodes in his face, and this again is kind of unbelievable as no-one would be able to shake a stove violently while their flesh is being cooked.
BA_Harrison I had two questions on my mind when popping 247°F into the DVD player: 'How the hell are they going to make being stuck in a sauna engrossing for an entire film?', and 'Will Scout Taylor-Compton be as annoying as she was in Halloween II, April Fool's Day and Wicked Little Things?'. Well, the answers are 'They didn't' and 'Yes'.The 'trapped in one place' scenario has proved effective in the past with films like Frozen and Adrift, wherein a small group of individuals find themselves unexpectedly caught in a hopeless situation with survival looking increasingly unlikely as times passes; but where those films featured a variety of perils—extreme weather conditions, ravenous animals, life-threatening injuries—247°F 's only threat is sweltering heat. While that is certainly something to be concerned about, it doesn't exactly make for great entertainment, and with such an unlikeable bunch of characters, it's hard for the viewer to care less what happens to them.Taylor-Compton is as whiny and irritating as everything else I have seen her in; she does, however, seem to have her devoted fans, and I can imagine that it is only they who will find anything remotely of interest in this film, the sight of their favourite actress sweating away in her undies being something they can get all hot and bothered about again and again in the privacy of their own darkened rooms.3.5 out of 10, rounded up to 4 for IMDb.
Wes Terrible acting, bad plot, lame/annoying characters, stupid ending.I thought the movie would be a little cheap and might be kind of funny, but it was so much worse than I could have dreamed.Any college student in a film course could have made this movie better.1/10Not sure why this review needs to be at least ten lines, I can sum up this movie with one word - TERRIBLE!!Do not waste your timeAny other movie would be a better choiceI cant believe anyone could like this movie at all
NemkeSRB From the beginning to the end totally uninteresting movie. I mean who goes 3 times in the sauna for 1 night? They go to sauna, then lake to "cool off", then again sauna to "wamp up", again lake to "cool off" and finally sauna again?! Come on... I believe most of the people who have seen it knew that Michael didn't trap them inside. Only thing that casted doubt is when Wade took shovel and started digging. I mean they start firework same second when Michael came to the house? Really? Classic... It may be based on a true story, but I really doubt firework and other things were also based on that. Another thing I don't understand is why do they have firework when party is inside the club? I give it rating 5. Almost average
