Revenge horror is great. Bad guys do bad things and get their just reward, the hero/heroine gets their vengeance. Sometimes things don't turn out well for the hero/heroine and that's cool too.
But this movie fails at every possible level.
We don't see what the bad guys do or who the bad guys really are, so when they're made to kick the bucket one after another, the emotional response is zero.
The heroine switches from being a heroic fightress to swinging girly punches from one scene to the next, from smart survivalist to blind/deaf/stupid victim and back.
Most of the movie shows the female lead running with no suspense. I appreciate the female form as much as the next guy, but it does not carry an entire movie. The camera man must have been very aroused though, his hands were shaking the whole time.
The heroine's boyfriend appears from the ceiling (literally) and disappears into the floor (literally) in an instant - emotional response from the viewer: Zero, because you go from "Who is that" to "Who was that?" in the blink of an eye.
No character building, no chemistry, almost no suspense or gore. Boring and frustrating, an utter waste of time.
