myrddinfyrch I'm no fan of torture porn movies in the first place, but there was practically no suspense provided here, which would have helped. The "jump-scares" were trite and the deadly scenarios all but laughable. I've only walked out of one movie in my life (The Barbarian Brothers) but I would have been tempted with this one.As another reviewer had pointed out, better writing would have at least made it tolerable. I would add to that some more alert editing and direction: - The sand at the roadside where the car is immobilized has tire tracks from the previous take. - At one point, a villain-babe actually reaches into the supposedly electrified bathwater and accidentally splashes, while a few scenes later she falls in to the tub and dies. - The "Marine" (ugh) has a voice-activated shock collar, yet towards the end of one scene shouts with it on - all the while having been grimacing and twitching when it supposedly activated. Even Marines aren't as stupid as these characters are... >:-DTrite and unlikely concepts abound. The first victim is a film geek who is so offensive that there is no possible way a gaggle of "cool" types are driving with him to Las Vegas. The character even has an emotional attachment to his backpack.I, too, signed up for IMDb just to rate this movie. What should have been a redeeming feature - the casting of the stunning & talented Rachel Sterling - was very disappointing. Her character is undeveloped, her nude scene (the only nudity in the movie) is completely throwaway - as if they could cut it and achieve a better MPAA rating? Or worse, be able to show it on TV?Most of all, Sterling's character is literally ripped in half as the first female victim. I'm assuming this decision was so she can fix her boyfriend the Marine with her smoky gaze as she expires. What a waste.Kind of like deciding to sell Monet prints as toilet paper. She would have been better utilized as one of the villains.

emmagardner14 This film was the typical horror- someone's car breaks down and then they search for help- a motel where everyone was overly-friendly. The torture scenes were not only disturbing but it was obvious what would happen,and that nearly all of them would end up killed. i thought the whole film turned out to be quite predictable. The acting was bad, however towards the end it started to get interesting, when you find out why they want to kill all the kids- for revenge on Claire's father. Overall i think it was a let down and a bit too predictable. The torture scenes were quite scary, the type where you have to cover your eyes or look away. Unfortunately, it wasn't the type of film that would leave you frightened.

wadechurton I thoroughly enjoyed the 'Saw' series (give or take an entry or two), because their plotting, acting and inventive 'traps' lifted them well above the norm. Their main saving grace however was the solid vein of black humour, something which accorded them a standing with the similarly fun 'Dr Phibes' movies of the early 1970s. There was a conspicuously low budget with 'The Helpers', but so there was with the first 'Saw', and the creators made a virtue of it. A low budget isn't the problem here, and neither for the most part is the acting. What utterly destroyed my enjoyment of 'The Helpers' is a distinct lack of ideas. This means that the movie falls squarely into the category of 'torture porn', and simulated snuff movies are just a tedious one-by-one blood-bath which follow a depressingly well-trodden path to the inevitable 'it's not really over' ending and the raucous music accompanying the final credits. Thank goodness it was so short.

Haitham Bayazeed This movie is disturbing and scary at some scenes, and boring as hell in other scenes, even when it is the climax, only torture scenes are suspenseful and scary, some other scenes towards the end, give you the feeling of lack of settlements, some jump scares, the writer would've explained more, but the movie is impressive, but not great, smart but not intelligent, scary but not horrifying, it is just an average horror movie with lack of good presenting, but still a good movie with great plot and kind of good acting, still underrated a lot!!!Rating 6.3/10 = 6/10 on IMDb Reviews ratingsI think that this movie is not that scary compared to V/H/S The movieThe movie in not that gory such as SAW franchise The movie is not eroticallysilly such as Piranha 3D in a comedic way The movie so unsettling such as Paranormal ActivityI think the cast and crew will make something great in future, maybe a sequel or prequel? Who knows?!
