House of 9

House of 9
Negen mensen die elkaar niet kennen worden ontvoerd en opgesloten in een villa. Al snel komen ze erachter dat ze onderdeel zijn van psychopathisch spel, waarbij slechts één van hen de villa levend mag verlaten. Wie? Dat zullen ze zelf moeten bepalen. De uiteindelijke winnaar zal beloond worden met vijf miljoen dollar. Het brein achter deze zieke marteling lijkt zijn zin te krijgen. Stuk voor stuk maken de lotgenoten elkaar af, en al snel staan de laatste overlevenden lijnrecht tegenover elkaar...
My quick rating - 5.4/10. Another story of being drugged and thrown into a house together for no apparent reason. The lucky victims seem to all be completely unrelated and are basically told the usual one thing. "One person walks out of here with (5Million) dollars. You can change that number as needed for other movies of the kind. The acting is just adequate for each, not even Dennis Hopper really drew a great written persona. So, in a flick where the characters play such a massive part, being mediocre is going to lead to that sort of ending. As expected, they begin to suspect each other and become guarded, more and more behaving irrationally, until the inevitable starts happening. So, as always, the question is, who will survive? Not bad if it pops up on cable, but nothing to write home about. I did like the sequel-inducing ending. Strangely, there hasn't been one, yet.
