bowmanblue Australia does its best to mimic the slasher/Saw genre with this mishmash of different horror ideas.Six of the most obnoxious teenagers in the country get abducted and locked in boxes. Sadly, their friend (who is named after a type of cheese, I believe) has to rescue them. By this point I was kind of hoping she'd just go home to bed and the film would end there and then.Somewhere among the film is the spark of something quite good, but never really utilised to its full potential. The film exploits modern technology, i.e. Bluetooth, iphones, web-streaming, wifi and then generally shows how they can be perverted into tools for the gross satisfaction of others.It's all not a bad idea, it's just most people won't really care about the 'victims,' plus it requires quite a few leaps of faith to believe that the police force of Australia consists of more than one rough-and-ready officer, plus his overweight call centre operator and deputy (who throws up at the first sign of anything vaguely creepy).It's a nice try, but ultimately a missed opportunity. It leaves you thinking that all teenagers who get their kicks out of breaking into other peoples houses and filming their parties to show off to their peers deserve to be locked in boxes and burnt to death.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Essentially there was nothing thrilling or scary about this movie. "6 Plots" was more like an Australian daytime TV show prolonged and exposed to a Halloween theme.The story is about a group of seven youngsters, all friends, who live life carefree and partying. One party goes awry, and six out of the seven wake up encased in boxes, unable to escape, while the seventh is free and given a chance to save her six friends before they meet their untimely demise. It is a race against time with a mysterious killer always being one step ahead.There wasn't any real feeling of dread or fear throughout the movie, but still, director Leigh Sheehan did try hard enough.Perhaps it was the utter lack of interest that mostly all characters in the movie were shrouded in that ultimately led me to stop trying to get into it. The characters were incredibly two-dimensional and weren't really showing characteristics, having any kind of personal quirks, or actually coming off as anything but hollow, wooden dummies put on display in a pseudo-horror movie.I will say that the acting on most accounts was good enough, not great mind you, but good enough to make the movie watchable. Well, all except the teenager with the 'helmet-hair'. Wow, he was just atrocious."6 Plots" seems something like a horror movie for teenagers, who wants to watch something pseudo-scary without actually venturing into the proper horror genre. And as an avid fan of the horror genre for more than 25 years, then to me "6 Plots" was uneventful, boring, anything but scary, and basically just well below mediocrity.This amounts to a mere 3 out of 10 stars rating here, and even then I feel like I am being generous.

Michael 'Hallows Eve' Smillie >> SPOILER ALERT << Well this won't take too long. This is an Australian horror movie, but in my opinion it takes a lot from the typical American group teen horrors where the plot is the same, and predictable. A group of teens have a party, they get kidnapped and trapped, its filmed for the internet, it cashes in on the technology of the time, they are killed in different ways, they die, the end. The acting in it is crap, the plot is as I said - predictable, and its an embarrassment to the Australian horror industry. I'd have to say that 'BAIT 3D' was better than this, and it too was below average. So I give this what it deserves, 1 out of 10.

rotweiler Another reviewer called this movie "indisputably terrible". Well, I wish to strongly dispute his/her statement.Yes, the movie is a mishmash of concepts borrowed from other films in the same genre - as are most movies which at least borrow some scenes/concepts/portions of the script from previous movies.The purpose of creating a movie is not to create rocket science deep thought - it is to entertain. Viewers of the pseudo-horror genre already know before the start to watch the film what to expect. And this film does deliver at least a portion of what is expected, nay, demanded of a film of this type. There is tension, suspense, action, scenes of horror, etc. What the film does NOT do is create a thought-provoking environment where you are "deeply 'into' the film". It is entertainment. Only that, nothing more. And it delivers.No, this is not "The Godfather" or "Inception". It is a mock horror film that will entertain you - once. I give it a 6.5/10.
