Goofs

The kidnapping of the nine victims happens over at least a couple of days, but they all "wake" up at the same time, while none seem to be hungry, thirsty or even having the need for a little trip to the bathroom.

Quotes

Shooter: I have brought the nine of you here for a reason. Your survival depends on you figuring out what that reason is. I will leave you alone for your discussions but I will return every ten minutes and kill one of you until you've figured it out or until you are all dead. You have ten minutes.

User Reviews

Worth a Watch - Nine Dead is NOT dead!

I was very impressed after watching this film for the first time. I've since gone out and purchased a copy for myself. Let me start off by saying that this is by no means a masterpiece or award-winning material. With that being said, I find myself liking this film a whole lot. It's very fun to watch and kept me interested in the characters. I don't find the ending AS disappointing as other reviewers but it could have been more thought out. Regardless, it's worth your time and an overall enjoyable film to watch. Other users have pointed out the acting as "horrible" and I have to disagree. Some was a little flat but what can you expect from a film as obscure and unknown as Nine Dead. I do recommend this film for the twists, character development, and overall enjoyment I experienced while watching this film.
