The Owners

Well directed horror flick with great intensity. I enjoyed watching it and every character added an element to the film. I never knew what exactly was going to happen which was good. Overall, the rating this received is funny to me..... and is probably the reason why we constantly get generic horror films. It's a 7.5 for me.

I just stumbled into this movie and thought I'd give it a chance and so far it's okay and after smoking a bit it definitely made it more entertaining lol the main villain in this movie definitely gives a pretty good performance and also the old man so smoke a bowl and press play

I thought with Williams as the lead the rest of the cast would be low budget level actors but they all do a fine job, particularly McCoy who was Dr Who few years after Tom Baker. It has the usual idiot trope consisting of an utter tool, a mild tool, the coward that gets roped into dumb things by his tool friends, and the girlfriend that didn't want to be there in the first place. Follows a fairly standard formula of a house robbery gone wrong but without being predictable and it ramps up the tension quite well as the violence escalates. Enjoyable thriller overall.

This is only unpredictable if you've never watched anything else of the genre. It rips off Villains, poorly, but tries to have a twist ending. A twist that was as dumb as everything else.

Doesn't help that the third act was cropped to a 4:3 ratio for no discernable reason.

This movie started off well with some great acting from all concerned; the bad guy was particularly vile and that boded well for a good bloodbath/massacre but it all went downhill rather quickly as nothing much except a bit of a drama out of a crisis unfolded with little to no real horror; more of a comedy with a bit of drama and a smidgin' of horror thrown in for good measure.

Sylvester McCoy makes the film and I have always liked him; even as Doctor Who as he brings a lot more to the table than most actors these days but all of the actors were really spot on but they just had nothing to really work with scriptwise and I don't know about anyone else but I figured out what was possibly behind the safe from the beginning so the mystery was gone for me quite early on.

Disappointed as it looked like this could be a rival to the USA Don't Breathe movie but it has absolutely nothing in common but it does get an average 5 hatchets out of 10 as it will fill an average Friday nights viewing.
