doycesub Another LMN movie that the law enforcement folks are as dumb as a box of hammers and the victim has to solve the crime themselves. As pointed out in other reviews, nobody seems to have any sense at all!!! The suspect in a murder investigation is allowed to have somebody arrested for assault without any investigation at all!! Poor Marlee Matlin seems to have to carry the weight of the story but the script seems to limit her as to how much common sense her character has. Marlee is a very intelligent woman but this movie doesn't show that. The acquiring of a "quick claim" deed was a joke without any attorneys present and the villain but not having to prove who he was but she did!! I patiently waited to the end!!

Paul Magne Haakonsen It was refreshing to have a movie from The Asylum that was an original movie, and not just a lower budgeted version of a forthcoming blockbuster - as they tend to do.I will admit when I saw it said The Asylum on the screen as the first thing, I was about to already give up on the movie before it had even started. But I decided to let it run anyway, and good thing that I did, because "4Closed" turned out to actually be rather enjoyable.The story is about a family that makes a purchased on a foreclosed house from the bank that seems too good to be true. Upon the day of their great move, it turns out that the former owner of the house is still living there and refuse to give up on his home. With the police on their side, the family have the guy evicted and they can move into their new dream house. But the former owner is going to let his property find its way to other hands without a fight.The movie stated that it was based on true events, of that I am not sure just how much was based on the story or how accurate it was, because I am not familiar with a story such as this having happened for real.The Asylum had upped their game and brought a good ensemble of acting talents to the movie; Marlee Matlin and James Denton did have good chemistry together. It was a shame that Paul Sorvino didn't have a bigger role than he had. I was somewhat skeptic about Jamie Kennedy in the role of the crazed home owner, but he actually pulled it off quite nicely, and this is a good step away from the usual comedy stuff that he has to his name.There is a good pace to the storyline and the movie does keep building up tension. So thumbs up to director Nick Lyon for this."4Closed" is a good movie that is entertaining and does have an interesting story. Definitely a bright moment for The Asylum here.

ivegonemod This movie is not going to win any awards, but I liked it. It had a lot of scenes that didn't make much sense, though, and the characters were not too bright.For the life of me, I can't figure out why Forest killed the first real estate agent. That only set the sale of "his" house back for a short time, so what was the point? Another agent was going to come back and do the same thing.It would also seem that the Turner family did not really check out the home very well, even when they had been in it for weeks. I don't think people would move into a home and not bother to explore it.It's a pretty scary thought that someone could actually be living in your house and you don't even know it.The daughter was dumber than a stone, I have to say. There really is no excuse for being that dumb. In one scene towards the end, she manages to escape into the backyard, and suddenly decides to start screaming her head off, knowing that the nutbag is right inside the house and can hear. The backyard is like the size of a football field, did she really think she could get away before he came after her?Some other annoying things were Lydia coming up on Forest in the middle of the night with a flashlight, while he was spying on the Turner family from the bushes. She really thought that was a good idea? She's the main one who thought he was crazy.Loved seeing Ernest Thomas AKA as Raj Thomas from What's happening, as Forest's lawyer. He was funny in his few scenes, but he was another dummy!

loueymc Due to the first review of this movie...I very nearly passed on watching it....but boy am I glad that I went for it anyway...Jamie Kennedy knocks it out of the park with his role in this, playing the part of a creepy villain brilliantly, I haven't seen him in too much since the 'Scream' movies (which I also loved him in) but he aced his part in this flick. The lines were occasionally cheesy, but other than that I thought this storyline carried itself pretty well....kept me gripped anyway! I am familiar with Marlee Matlin from Switched at Birth, her acting skills are pretty solid and believable, however, I'm not so sure I can say the same about Christina DeRosa, some of the time her acting skills felt forced. James Denton's character was more believable. The storyline itself on a whole was good (though it confuses me how a post-mortem/autopsy on the murdered Neighbor, wouldn't show signs of foul play/being electrocuted?? And how the Police don't seem to make much of an effort in finding the Lawyer that goes missing...they ask a couple of questions and then that's it :/ but...I guess they can only fit so much into the scripts/storyline) and interesting (albeit a few cracks) enough to make you keep watching, but it was very obvious from the start that Jamie Kennedy's role was what carried this whole picture, he looked creepy, sounded creepy...gave a very creepy atmosphere whenever he was around, I am impressed that he can both play the part of an adorable goofy dork in Scream...and then go a whole opposite to playing some creepy psycho weirdo...who's very essence on the screen can make you cringe. Very well played!I would give this movie a 7/10 however, I do think the quality of the movie...is pretty much made for TV, a good made for TV movie though.Definitely worth a watch
