All I Need

A few girls wake up in a room dressed only in their undergarments with their hands tied. Someone then comes in looking like one of the killers from the Hostel series, then grabs a girl pulling her out of the room to what sounds like her being cut up. Another side story has a father who can't find work and pay his child support, taking a job from a mysterious man on the phone. The money is good so he continues doing random jobs which start increasing in difficulty. The two tales find a way to fuse together by the end I did like the quality of the picture and the score they used was pretty cool but the rest of the film did irk me. This is one of those films where everybody does the wrong thing and when they finally do something it doesn't make sense. In one scene a girl is crawling through the ducts in the ceiling. The killer is underneath her and jams a pitchfork through the duct and into her leg. She then holds her hand over her mouth so as not to scream. I think the killer is going to see the blood on the pitchfork and maybe even the blood dripping down from the duct but that doesn't happen. She does get pierced again in her shoulder and then she jams her fingers all the way into the wound and covers her mouth again. Yes I would apply pressure but I don't know about sticking my fingers all the way into the wound. They do have long drawn out scenes which get on your nerves after a bit. I don't think any acting awards are going to be handed out for this one either. I did give it two and a half stars because of the way it ended. It was sorted of twisted and happy at the same time.

Its not even worth writing about, just slow and stupid and pointless

I really tried to enjoy this film, but frankly it was half an hour padded out. Everything is very competently done, and the score is pretty good, but my god it drags on. It feels like the poor female lead spends half her time laboriously struggling with her injuries, after being thoroughly useless at the beginning of this film. There's a secondary plot line which was really rather ludicrous as well, and the male lead there spends over half his time looking confused. I didn't much care about anyone in this film apart from maybe at certain points the female lead, and the eventual antagonist is thoroughly uninteresting. Would have made an absolutely brilliant episode of the twilight zone or similar, or a short film. A real shame because the idea is a good one. Ah well.

The actresses were conventionally attractive and wearing very little. The violence felt a little like Hostel I suppose, which I enjoyed. It is a stylish movie at times, which I also liked. From the opening (more than 45 seconds of black screen) and on, the whole movie could be condensed into a few minutes, but every movement is drawn out for several actual minutes. However, the main protagonist male character's scenes are set at an almost normal pace and are halfway entertaining because his story is mysterious. He's been given a back story (father who wants to see his daughter, but is having a hard time making child support payments), he's a normal person with human responses to strange things happening to him. He even reads a book at one point. Whenever the movie returns to the female character, the movie comes to a grinding halt and slows down to a snail's pace because her reactions and motions aren't realistic in any way (unless she has brain damage). Poor writing for the females, it's clear they're just included for the eye candy. Though the plot description makes it seem as if the main male and main female characters meet right away, they don't actually connect. Completely misleading, and I wouldn't have watched it if I'd known that from the start.

95% of this movie is extended sequences of characters gazing drearily into the distance with no dialogue. And just when you think an actual story is finally about to be put together, the movie ends... I literally paused my Roku just to make sure I was really at the end of the movie. Also, dont expect the side character they set up to actually have any sort of backstory or exposition. He won't be relevant to the story, at all.

Summary about sums it up. very slow movie and the girls a very unintelligent, guy comes in grabs a girl while a girl hides, she does absolutely nothing till near the end she tries to escape through a vent, trying to help a girl up with her as the killer cant open a door with a long dresser against the door, the ones usually with a mirror. the girl then gives up on helping the girl and goes down the vent abit, peeks out and see the killer is still struggling with the door, only to go back and try to help her again, in which as soon as shes about pulled up gets dragged right back down and killed. then a bent pitchfork (looks like) somehow went through the vent with ease every jab, injuring the girls foot and shoulder as shes trying to kick the other side of the vent out. she then uses her finger to poor blood out of her shoulder wound into the holes created,(kinda smart idea but) not that she already had blood coming out of her, pitchfork went right through her foot, plus her shoulder should have bleed enough. so instead of poking his head up the shaft and checking if the girl is dead like he should have done, he spots the blood and immediately assumes its over. after he leaves the room the girl goes back down and bandages herself. in the shaft she could hardly crawl, but she walked pretty fine..... then the ending, i already gave it a 1 at this point but the ending makes me want to minus points. she set up a noose connected to the bed-frame and a trip rope made of cloth gags so when the killer runs up to her, he trips and somehow falls into the noose. now keep in mind this noose isn't connected to the ceiling, no a bed on ground level. so here he is, thick leather mask that cover his neck, being held by cloth tied together.... as he tries to move forward he keeps getting choked and when the bed starts coming off the ground, misses decides to lift two or three girls onto the bed, despite her injuries to even out the weight. however when the killer hit the trap he dropped his sickle and it fell in front of him next to the girl, so again not a smart, logical or believable move moving those girls onto the bed, all the killer had to do was take the rope from around his neck, stepped backwards, or the rope would have ripped or came apart.... etc... it took him a good ten mins to actually die, that may have been realistic if he didn't have a leather mask blocking his neck against some cloth... it was pretty obvious who the killer was, and i actually liked his normal scenes more than the whole movie, which i guess isn't a compliment so ya....

WAKE IN FEAR is another low-budget horror feature that revolves around young nubile women being captured and chained up by a pervert. There's literally no more plot to the film than that; the entire running time consists of one of the girls attempting to escape from her captor to limited effect. This is a slow, drawn-out and repetitive movie that resorts to padding with an extensive and mundane sub-plot involving the maniac's daily life which really needed excising. I do like Caitlin Stasey and remember her from her NEIGHBOURS days; she's not bad as the lead but the rest of the film is fairly pitiful.

Another movie that had two different plots and did they have really come together? No. It was confusing. Boring. Could of been a great one but the story was written badly, made little sense and left you asking more questions then entertaining

Some people will like this and others won't. But, if you like seeing a lot of attractive women hardly dressed and barefoot, this is it. The director quite clearly shows a lot of close up barefoot shots, as some directors do at times. For some, they will enjoy every minute of this movie, all the actresses are gorgeous and very "girl next door". The story is also quite intriguing as it keeps you trying to figure out what is going on and how such beauty could have possibly ended iup in that room. These beauties are unreachable women for the majority of men and that in itself makes you wonder how they could have ended in that position. Worth the watch and enjoy the beauty.
