What makes it different from others?

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This really wasn't good...not good at all. I watched "Bereavement" first and gave it two stars. This one doesn't even rate that. The acting was horrific. Not a single person here could act - or was that the joke? Because it wasn't funny. The script was terrible too. And if this film was supposed to highlight the killer, it didn't. The unmasked villains were far more annoying. And this movie didn't make "Bereavement" any better or give it depth or perspective. It just made me want every single second I'd spent watching both movies back so I could do something else - hell, running a marathon would have been less painful. Overall, I should have watched anything else.

Where should eye begin........? Well first of all if eye could have gave this movie a lower rating than eye would have given it a -2. Second off this movie had no purpose or meaning at all. There's this one scene where a woman and her daughter are tied up and knelled down in front of a kidnapper and also duct tape around their mouths, when from behind the kidnapper and coming down the stairs is the killer. Now at this point the daughter and the mother can both see the killer and are going out of their way to lean and look around the kidnapper while screaming under their duct taped mouths and the kidnapper never turned around which he ended up killed by the killer. Third thing is he didn't even kill the woman and her daughter the next scene just showed them still tied up and no sign of the killer or the body of the kidnapper. Movies like this is why good slasher flicks have become "extincsolete (obsolete/extinct) ". See this movie has forced me to make up a word that doesn't exist. All eye'm saying is if u watch this movie u will be very, very, very upset. That's if u have good taste in horror/slasher flicks.

Low-budget slasher movie plays like something out of the 1980s, although the modern, crisp camera-work betrays its more recent creation. Would-be bank robbers and their hostages end up on the run and right into the arms of a brutal killer holed up in an old, rural slaughterhouse. The film is played straight and is a bond fide "R" horror flick in an era of way too many PG-13 horror flicks. The gore is there, the scares are there, and no one cracks a joke, thank God. This is serious business. The filmmakers obviously know the classics of the genre, most notably TCM. The acting is acceptable, which is rare for this type of movie.

Three bank robbers take refuge in an abandoned house (with a mother-daughter hostage). Unbeknownst to any of them, a serial killer is stalking them and killing them one by one. Who is behind it, and what is the motive? I rated it a 5 because it was alright for a cheap horror flick. It had a story, which is something most horror films don't have, and the acting was slightly above par. The storyline itself involving the killer is pretty weak, but apparently it's only the middle story of a trilogy that hopefully will never be made. It's worth one watch, just to catch the storyline, but I would say that would be enough when it comes to "Malevolence."
