Michael Ledo Six pretentious teens whose demise I cheered on are somehow taken from a party and buried at various locations around the city. Brie (Alice Darling) a seventh teen is tasked with locating them and using the GPS feature on the phone wasn't her first choice.They attempted to create characters for the teens as a group and it didn't come off well. I didn't care for them. Not only were the teens pretentious, the whole plot seemed fake, more so than a masked inbred running around with a chainsaw that never has a chain jump, killing teens that had sex. Nothing like watching teens in a box on a smart phone talking to each, saying, "I see a box." Could it get any more boring? Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

bowmanblue Australia does its best to mimic the slasher/Saw genre with this mishmash of different horror ideas.Six of the most obnoxious teenagers in the country get abducted and locked in boxes. Sadly, their friend (who is named after a type of cheese, I believe) has to rescue them. By this point I was kind of hoping she'd just go home to bed and the film would end there and then.Somewhere among the film is the spark of something quite good, but never really utilised to its full potential. The film exploits modern technology, i.e. Bluetooth, iphones, web-streaming, wifi and then generally shows how they can be perverted into tools for the gross satisfaction of others.It's all not a bad idea, it's just most people won't really care about the 'victims,' plus it requires quite a few leaps of faith to believe that the police force of Australia consists of more than one rough-and-ready officer, plus his overweight call centre operator and deputy (who throws up at the first sign of anything vaguely creepy).It's a nice try, but ultimately a missed opportunity. It leaves you thinking that all teenagers who get their kicks out of breaking into other peoples houses and filming their parties to show off to their peers deserve to be locked in boxes and burnt to death.

ericrath92 Horror films are a hard genre to please an audience. Since the SAW and HOSTEL torture porn 'revolution', there is a constant pursuit to up the ante. It's all been done before yadda yadda.So I read the reviews here and went in with baited breath to a screening at Harbourtown Cinemas on the Gold Coast, not knowing much about the film apart from Facebook (did this film even get any advertising!?)So the set-up of the relationship between the 7 friends is kind of cool, some interesting takes on teen stereotypes, and witty banter from a bunch of mostly newcomer actors. Some familiar faces such as Ryan Corr (soon to be seen in Wolf Creek 2) and Penelope Mitchell (Hemlock Grove), in fact this film seems to have been around for ages and a lot of the actors have moved on to bigger and better projects.Anyway, I think the writing is commendable, with a touch of the Whedon-esque in the dialog, and establishes the likable group before things go awry.When 6 of the 7 teens disappear, there is real tension here, which surprised me as some of the reviews here are a bit harsh. There is a real attempt to make the technology real, using phones and devices we all use (albeit a little outdated - a clue to the long gestation of the movie!) and Brie (Alice Darling) is convincingly terrified as she seeks to rescue her friends.From what I have read this movie was made on a shoe-string budget, but it looks great. The screening I saw looked great, and far beyond the $2 million budget reported. The plot has some clichés, yes, and there are some references to other films of the genre, namely Buried and Saw, yes, but aren't most popcorn fodder movies a mix of movies past?I got the sense that it had been somewhat watered down, with an almost deliberate avoidance of any real gore. Don't know if that is going to please everyone, especially the lovers of the fore-mentioned films, but not everything has to be blood, guts and gore. There is a vast history of films that work well by what you do NOT see...I thought the action that ramped up in the second half was engaging and pacey, and look, at only 90 minutes, frankly I found it a nice change from movies that are 2-hours+ these days. It's a popcorn movie, largely forgettable, but a fun ride.Anyway, I know it is fashionable to hang it on movies and be nasty, but I found 6 Plots to be a commendable effort, quite well directed, with a pretty good cast and a decent script.I enjoyed the thrill, felt I got my $17.50 worth and had fun. Isn't that the point of movies like this? IMHO.

rotweiler Another reviewer called this movie "indisputably terrible". Well, I wish to strongly dispute his/her statement.Yes, the movie is a mishmash of concepts borrowed from other films in the same genre - as are most movies which at least borrow some scenes/concepts/portions of the script from previous movies.The purpose of creating a movie is not to create rocket science deep thought - it is to entertain. Viewers of the pseudo-horror genre already know before the start to watch the film what to expect. And this film does deliver at least a portion of what is expected, nay, demanded of a film of this type. There is tension, suspense, action, scenes of horror, etc. What the film does NOT do is create a thought-provoking environment where you are "deeply 'into' the film". It is entertainment. Only that, nothing more. And it delivers.No, this is not "The Godfather" or "Inception". It is a mock horror film that will entertain you - once. I give it a 6.5/10.
