First of all this movie should have been called CLEAVAGE HOUSE.
The most notable thing about this film is that it’s made to look like one continuous camera shot – e.g not edited. It does this quite cleverly by cutting at times when the camera is panning around over walls or through doors etc. It’s done well and if you’re not looking for it you won’t notice. This technique draws you into the movie straight away, kind of like found footage handy cam stuff, except this was absolutely professional A-grade camera work. It also made the 85 minutes fly by in an intense rush.
The story itself was a bit of the same old and overall not very satisfying.. it may have been if I was paying attention but was too distracted by Olsen's cleavage. I wouldn’t recommend seeing this movie if it wasn’t for the camera work above. It’s worth sitting through just to see how cleverly it’s done, get some ideas etc. It’s not terrible though and you will get a few good scares and enjoy the ride a little.
5/10
