a_baron How good can a film be when mostly it entails a group of people walking around in a building which at times is semi-dark or dark dark? Better than you think. Ella is marrying a wealthy banker, but she is a tad suspicious about him, so recruits a shady friend to prise open his storage unit and read his secret diary. When they arrive at the depository she misreads the number, and instead of going to the third floor below ground they go to the lower basement where unsuspectingly they open the door to Hell. What appears to be a sub-human creature grabs and kills the unfortunate Molly, leaving Ella to flee to a higher level where she meets up with a corrupt detective, a morphine addict, an advertising executive, and a creepy guy she had met on the way down who is actually living in a unit having lost his job and been kicked out by his landlord.What happens next is predictable but not so, there is a twist in the tale, and if it were not for the unhappy ending, it would earn a full 10 points. Of course, for some people an unhappy ending is really a happy ending, and vice versa.
gtyoshida72 "The Hoarder" is a smart horror film that gets A+ across the board; set design, plot, dialogue, and acting are all first class. Ella (Mischa Barton) and her edgy friend want to snoop in her fiancee's storage locker as she suspects him of cheating. The facility is attractive, modern, and well managed compelling the audience to embrace the movie then recoil in horror as the normality takes a horrible twist, a technique perfected by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, who directed movies such as "The Birds" and "Marnie. This is the best story line for any movie genre written in decades and casts a poor light on the 4.5 rating on the IMDb website.
emberstonepierce Although this is a plot we've all seen many times before in previous films, this movie harks back to the style of the '80's horror film and is surprisingly entertaining. With an interesting setting and cast, it brings a modern twist to the concept of people being trapped and stalked. Although not really very frightening (more of a thriller really, with little blood and gore) it's a film that keeps you on the edge of your seat and contains some shocking twists and turns as the narrative progresses. The finale is well done and doesn't leave unanswered questions for the viewer, really making you think about the fate of the characters and the choices they made.
Finfrosk86 Frightfest 2015! Whoop! -Is where I saw this.This one is kind of uneven. Some parts are pretty cool and quite entertaining, other parts though, they are not that great. I loved seeing Robert Knepper! I was a big fan of his on Prison Break, shame he doesn't get more work. (he alone bumps this up a star, that's how much I love that dude!)With some minor changes it could have been a lot better. You are wondering what's going on for most of the movie, but the pay off isn't that good, unfortunately. I did not like the ending, either. It's one of those movies, where something just isn't quite right. Doens't quite fit. Plus the fact that the plot it self isn't quite right. It is a little creepy in a couple of scenes, but it's just not enough.
