MJB784 It started out quite scary and smart, then got dumber and more pointless as it went along. When two "twists" were revealed towards the end, my emotions were frustrated after the first surprise and sunk even lower after the second. It explains why the killers murdered the family, but the person arranging the killings and why is so hurtful even though horror movies are supposed to be mean. I'm not saying it's mean in a scary way, just a depressing way why anyone would want to do what they did for such an unfortunate reason.

Ada Mada Pia Or so the saying goes. This film is a perfect example of that.At first we're led to believe that the people attacking this family are masked strangers, but we soon learn that this is a money grab attempt. We have Paul and Aubrey Davison, two successful people who have done well for themselves and their children. They are kind, generous, loving folks who welcome their now grown kids as well as their significant others into their home to celebrate their wedding anniversary.Personally, the blood and gore are nowhere near as gut-wrenching (pun intended) as the premise. Children who grew up with privilege and with warm, supportive parents, yet lack their talent and charisma and are failing miserably at life. It's absolutely sickening to me that these now adult children went so far as to plan these murders ahead of time in the hopes that the police would believe the killers were random strangers so that they would inherit their parents' money.These children lack so little humanity, it's difficult to believe they weren't adopted. After they murder their sister's boyfriend and then their sister, they brutally murder their own mother in her bed while she's devastated over her daughter's death.After they take out their father, the inevitable happens: They turn on each other. Not surprising after the way these grown men behaved before the killings. Spoiled and whiny, generally unlikable people which leads me to wonder what Erin ever saw in Crispian.So we have a group of wonderful people gathered together in what is supposed to be an enjoyable family event, but they are cut down in their prime by those they trusted most. For greed. All in all, I really enjoyed this film and its deeply troubling theme that leaves you wondering who you can trust when those you love turn on you. Coupled with the extremely satisfying ending where Erin delivers some much overdue justice, I give this film an 8 out of 10. The characters are very believable and the actors did a good job in their execution (pun intended). It had enough suspense and the element of surprise to keep me on the edge of my seat and I love the complexity of the villains, instead of the cookie cutter slashers of many films in its genre. I think what gets me the most about this particular film is that there is no tragic backstory on the villains' part. No catastrophic events that brought them to this point. It's simply the deeply flawed nature of the human condition.

sydksu I have no clue, something about this movie just always sticks with me! I think it lost some realisticness towards the end, but everything leading up to the.. ummm.. events (lol) was believable. Also the plot twist at the end. Loved what a bad ass the lead female character was, and they did a good job of mentioning how she knew what she did. The ending had me dying!!! I was so pissed!!! hahahhaha But still satisfied.

Reno Rangan This kind of films is usually low rated by me. It's very rare that I find one good film and that happened to be this one. I was braced for another disappointment, then I totally got surprised when it reached half way mark. Good twist too. In fact, there are many twists in the final quarters. Not like breathtaking, but very acceptable with kind of story and characters it had.Another home invasion film. A family reunites for the parent's wedding anniversary at their rural vacation house. Slowly all the children arrive with their life partners, and then suddenly while dining, the attack takes place. Creates full of chaos, the family does not know what to do. But one of the members' retaliation makes thing complication for the attackers. What follows after that, and how it all ends are the rest of the story.First of all, this is not a horror film as labelled. It is a terror. We don't have a such genre, so it comes under horror. But the best way to call it a thriller. Sharni Vinson was very good. It's because of how her role was designed. Best film so far by this filmmaker, until his upcoming big titles. A one-night-event film, and of course a limited cast. They make sequels for crap films, but this one definitely deserves one. So I'm expecting one. Thos who love this genre must see it.8/10
