2/10
Commentary of a dull film
17 May 2012
Warning: Spoilers
This review will contain spoilers! I am going to do this a bit differently, I will simply post some notes i jotted down while watching.

00:16 Why does the film start with a screaming girl with a knife in her hands?

1:11 So, they are all driving black Scodas to the house with plenty of "scary" background music for no reason.

05:40 These people are all utterly unsympathetic.

09:04 This is completely engaging.

13:11 they are trying to establish some characters - and failing, the dialog doesn't get through to me at all.

16:17 He is leaving the group in a horror film, he' so dead

16:39 Will there be blood coming out of the faucet?

16:52 Nope, but there was a jump scare in the mirror.

23:17 Unnecessary nudity, my favorite kind.

32:55 Whatsherface has been killed but I just don't care. Im just bothered by the murky lighting, why don't they turn on the lights?

34:53 It took them this long to think about looking for the staff?

42:05 The scary killer ghost is doing almost nothing so the filmmakers are trying to establish some secondary conflict - which comes off as too forced.

42:35 Doorknobs are not interesting enough to warrant being zoomed in on.

43:36 Dark hair girl (I guess her character has a name but I don't care) is a real jerk.

43:57 The doctor guy is such a wuss.

48:50 Wait what, if all the lights are out, how come that one is still on?

49:17 Unnecessary dramatic sound effect

52:31 Hw does she suddenly know so much?

1:02:12 They are actually managing to build up some tension, also they've got a god Schrödingsers cat thing going on.

1:06:54 This pep talk is lame.

1:10:50 There is surprisingly little snow for a snow storm.

1:14:38 Dramatic moment fails due to lack of investment in the characters.

1:16:24 I never knew getting stabbed in the shoulder could be deadly.

1:19:24 Movie is not worthy of summing up monologue

So there you have it. Generally speaking, Nine Lives is an engaging film about unsympathetic characters.
