While
working at an airport such as cleaning
the toilets etc. a young Polish employee
named Lena (Olga Fedori) befriends with
another employee named Birdie (Ainsley
Howard) and her mute retarded brother
Elbie (Toby Alexander) in which Birdie
tells her that her adopted parents who
also works at the airport and accepts an
invitation to go to their house but then
is trapped there and later on told by Mum
(Dido Miles) and Dad (Perry Benson) that
she is now apart of the family and
chained up and discovers that other
family members are punished by being tied
up with barbwire and discovers that she
can't escape and has to deal with their
sanity or be tortured to death by Mum and
Dad as she is beaten, tortured and nearly
molested.
There's good many shots on
airplane's flying by a house. We spot a
good conversation between Birdie and Lena at the airport
washroom and other areas.
Good close up shot on Elbie locking a door while both Birdie and Lena are inside which
leaves a bit of a chill down your spine
that something bad is going to happen.
Good shot on Birdie coming up
from behind Lena and injecting
her with a needle and then her slumping
to the ground.
We spot a good twisted moment with Dad entering a doorway looking
bloodied with an aggressive expression on
his face and then Mum approaching Lena and telling her she's
family now which looked very impressive
for a horror flick like this. There's
also good shots on Lena chained up and Mum poking in
sharp objects on her body and it looks
disturbing too as they make things seem
like a normal family the way it's set.
A nice shot on Dad coming up towards Lena and
grabbing her neck being aggressive with
her.
We spot many good angle shots on Birdie scrubbing Lena roughly on her
back while she's tied up the next day as
it looked very intense.
There's very good intense moments with Elbie dragging Lena into a kitchen
like it's a family having their breakfast
as there's alot of creepy shots on
different situations along with some body
parts accidentally dropped when it was
meant to be put in a freezer. Yuck!.
Many good shots on Lena chained up to her bed crying.
We spot a nice close up shot on Lena massaging Mum's feet with a nice
shot on her starting to fall asleep and
then a shot on her having a
thought which leaves an impression on her
trying to get away. Then we have a good
moment with Lena massaging Dad's foot and him acting aroused by it all as
well as him getting obnoxious with her
and grabbing her face as the moments
looked really intense.
Great moment with Birdie screaming in her room cursing and then
throwing things around with a shot on Elbie approaching her and she starts to mock him
as all of this looked very powerful.
A good shot on Mum grabbing Lena's cell phone out
of her pocket after she finds it ringing
and pressing it against her neck speaking
coldly and evil towards her in which you
wonder what she's gonna do next.
We have a good shot on a van man entering the house and
going near the front row of a stairway to
hear what's going on and then a nice
approach by Birdie coming up
behind him and wrapping a plastic type of
object around his face with good close up
shots on watching him suffocating to
death.
Good disturbing moment with Dad getting obnoxious towards Birdie by telling her he had to kill his partner
he knew for 15 years and then a good shot
on him trying to force her to kiss a
decapitated head which looked believeably
sick.
Some good takes at the dinner
table with the five of them there and Mum telling Birdie she was a good
girl with Birdie herself giving Lena a bratty expression towards her with a
shot on her looking miserable
with bruises on her face.
Good shots on Lena trying to sneak away in which makes you
wonder if she'll make it. We have a good
shot on her trying to figure a way on
freeing a Female Torso tied up in
barbwire with great shots on her which
really makes you cringe on her
suffocating reactions being tied like
this.
We also have a good moment with Lena spotting a young man tied to a
floor with barbwire and getting crazy
with her trying to shush him.
Nice shot with Lena hiding in a room breaking down and
crying.
A nice shot on Birdie stripping off the months on a calendar
and then screaming it's Christmas which
looked good too.
Good close up shots on both the female torso
and the young man tied as displays in a living
room with Christmas decorations around
them as well as a camera looking up at
the young man moving his eyes and hands.
Good shot on Dad acting like he's molesting Lena and trying to force her to drink some
wine and acting crazy.
A good chase with Lena trying to run away injured out near an
airport landing area with both Dad and Mum on her tail limping
and injured too which keep you glued to
the set wondering if she will make it.
Bottom line is that this is a perfect psychological
horror flick imagining if you're
kidnapped by a demented family and
finding no escape as well as being
tortured half to death for the rest of
your life.
At first the film looks harmless during
the beginning of the story which makes
you wonder if this is actually a horror
film and once this innocent victim is
trapped inside the house her friend
invited her to then the terror starts. We
spot the typical parental behavior as the
husband being the aggressive
disciplinarian and the mother as the
loving one but make them demented and
you'd never want to cross your parents
ever.
We have some similar elements on
Hostel and the remake on
Texas Chainsaw Massacre as well
as similar elements on retro flicks like Parents
and Last House on the
Left. This film will for sure
psych you out on what goes on there as
well as looking forward to finding out
what happens in the end. The film also
teaches you a lesson on who to trust and
leaving a public place with someone you
barely know.
The acting is very well
done as Perry Benson (Dad) is by far
the best as the Dad. He really knew how
to do his sneering evil aggressions onto
the camera and act violent and sick too
playing an evil type of assertive strict
family man. He came across to the point
that you'd have every right to be afraid
of him if you did something wrong and not
wanting him to punish you.
Dido Miles (Mum) as the Mom showed the
evil motherly kind and showing a normal
type of mother attitude but doing evil
deeds. She showed a nice icy voice as
well as having a soft speaking voice too.
She certainly brings her part across very
well. She showed nice wicked expressions
too.
Olga Fedori (Lena) played the perfect
victim held hostage to the demented
family in which she shows good upsetting
expressions along with her frightening
looks. She really knew how to cry in fear
as well as to react in pain. She does
well reacting to the pain in one of the first terrors in the story. Does well with her disturbed
expressions on how to get away from a situation. She
definetely showed alot of great intense
energy to her part in the film all the
way through.
Ainsley Howard (Birdie) played the perfect
evil brat in the flick with her whiney
attitude and menacing actions along with
her evil expressions too. She performed
very childlike and not acting her age
which reminds you of those nasty kids you
want to stay away from.
Toby Alexander (Elbie) had the perfect part
as a mute retarded one in the family and
he came across his role well that he
didn't like the things he had to do but
did it anyways. He drew attention to the
audience incredibly well.
Perry Benson is
pantless in a scene with his butt briefly
exposed while attemting for a
molestation.
There's an inside of a body
piece the Dad is holding
A sharp object is being stabbed through
Lena's skin
We spot some body pieces dropped in a
kitchen
A decapitated head is displayed on a
counter
Barb wire is tied tightly to two
kidnapped people
