The Killing Floor

Do you want a twisty mystery that will keep you guessing until the last moment? Do you want to see a stomach-churning "get rid of the bodies" scene? Do you want to watch an arrogant big-shot get his? Do you want to see some erotic moments? If so, this movie is for YOU. David is a writer's agent, driven but not very observant, not until it's too late. He buys this terrific apartment in NYC, but it has a history. It also has people trying to get hold of it, who stalk David. The plot on this is much meatier, but I don't to give too much away. Plot holes? A few. Obvious? You think so, don't you? Acting? A bit over, but I REALLY liked David going over the edge with Audrey. Setting? Good NYC moments, though 2007, so not gritty enough for me. Music? Adequate. Action? A ton. I think you'll really like this one.

I must say i enjoyed this movie from start to finish! The movies about a guy who moves into a new apartment and starts getting packages suggesting something terrible happened in his apartment, he tries to find out the history of his apartment and ends up going off the rails and getting himself in a very big pickle! the storyline is very gripping and its also accompanied by a nice and clever ending! the actors were well chosen and play there parts well, and the camera work and directing is very good as well!! this movie is a must for any thriller fan or anyone for that matter! its been a great movie to start off the day, i hope the other 5 im gonna watch are as enjoyable as this one was!

This movie really entertained me and kept me thinking all the way to the end, unfortunately all that let the film down were the obviously tight funds expended to make this film. I think the lead roles were played well but the policeman really let it down I think. Otherwise, as I said really good story. Other than this small but resounding problem I think the film was a really good attempt at the originally story although I think the book would be better. Love Me

Starting out pretty decent, about mid-way through the film starting going downhill, and really fizzled to a bomb at the end. Even with a good creepy tone set early on, the movie just doesn't seem to go anywhere and I eventually found myself just wishing it would end. The lead actor is not very convincing in his role and just seems like he's bored with the script. Unfortunately the other characters are rather one-dimensional as well. We really don't get to know these people enough to care what happens to them, and the predictable plot just doesn't leave much to the imagination. I give it a three out of ten; watch it only if you can't find something better.

Blucas went to the same high school I did, and so, in some rare act of hometown patriotism, I figured I'd check it out. I expected crap, not being a fan of the whole Buffy thing and not really seeing him in anything else. But I was pretty surprised, I really enjoyed the movie. Blucas's acting was quite good, and really shined through during the more intense moments. I had something of an idea of the ending of the movie early on in the film, but the actual ending still held a few surprises. The rest of the movie was pretty good as well. Nobody really had terrific acting, but nobody did a bad job either. The production could have been a little better, no major flaws to point out, just, you could tell it wasn't a big-budget movie. I'd rank is above a "B" movie, but not by a whole whole lot. Now that I look, the movie has no listed rating yet, but I think it'll definitely receive and R purely for language. What bothers me about that, and it by no means hurt the movie, but it irked me, was that with all the F-bombs being thrown around, there isn't even an ass through the entire movie (even during the sex scene). Also, aside from a few very mild fights, there really is no blood or gore or anything like that either. If you're going to go for an R rating, why not go all the way? By removing half a dozen curses, they probably could have gotten away with PG-13, but they didn't, so why skimp on all the other R-rated perks? Overall, I would for sure recommend watching it if you get the chance. Pretty decent flick. Cheers.

These days good thrillers are increasingly hard to come by. It takes extra effort and a lot of thinking on the writers' part to come up with something original that the audience hasn't seen before countless times. When TV shows like Prison Break tire out the viewers with their seemingly endless double twists and reversals you need to invent something truly clever to justify making a feature film. With "The Killing Floor", the producers obviously just went for the cheap thrills, trusting that there is an endless appetite for the genre. It's hard to imagine anything more boring and uninspiring than this pic. Poor characterization, twists we saw a thousand times, inane dialogue and wooden acting - you name it. If you have seen more than 5 thrillers and you have an IQ higher than an average coffee mug you'll see through the long list of weak red herrings and figure out what's going on quite early on. Everything is set up and foreshadowed with the subtlety of an 18 wheeler, so if you are not half asleep while watching, there will be few surprises along the way. (In fact, I was half asleep and still there were none.) Prepare for pathetic "boo moments", scares characterized by sudden bursts of loud music and very stupid actions by the hero. Many times all he should do is ask a couple of really obvious questions from the other characters to shed light on a particular matter. But here everyone does and says things to suit the storyteller's intentions. I only watched it till the end because I am a true fan of thrillers and I was kind of expecting a massive surprise revelation at the end that would make it worthwhile. No such luck. As I said, if you are conscious enough to hear and grasp the dialogue and your mind is capable of processing the images flickering on the screen, you will know what's going on long before the protagonist. Knowing the Hollywood system, there might have been an interesting idea at the core of this film. If there was, it got lost along the way, and the result is the saddest of all generic misfires: a thriller that fails to thrill.

Marc Blucas (best known from Buffy the vampire slayer) acts superbly! Even when it is obvious he is an obnoxious and arrogant man you will sympathize with him. Of course he is helped by the wonderful screenplay. But still it is an excellent performance. The pace of the movie is quite fast. The tension starts early and building up to the climax. When you think you know everything the story immediately goes another direction. The twists and turns are handled with care so that you don't loose the plot. At one occasion the main character is sent a video which he plays to find out really disturbing. Suggesting there are supernatural elements involved. You have to see it to believe it. But it did freak me out a bit. As a fanatic thriller and horror fan this is not easy to do! The particular scene lifts this movie to an ever higher level and me wanting to find out what the hell was going on. (It is a shame that they don't explain how they achieved the effect,but i don't mind since it intensified the viewing experience a lot.) This movie delivers on the thrilling part. A must see!
