7/10
Better than expected.
3 December 2023
Ellison Betts assembles his whole family together for a weekend at his mansion estate, but when the shutters come down, and an alarm sounds, the family realise that they're pawns in a deadly game.

First of all, I get why there is some hate for this movie, I totally get that.

If you're expecting a cosy family get together, think again, this is one dysfunctional family, one that hides a dark secret.

I was all set once again to bemoan another of Jonathan Rhys Meyers's awful film choices, but in a bizarre kind of way, I found myself somewhat enjoying it, I liked the whole tie in of H. H. Holmes, it was pretty interesting, although they didn't perhaps capitalise on it.

It's fairly gory, there are a couple of scenes that are fairly gross, the scene in the basement, perhaps the highlight, there are also a couple of unexpected twists and turns along the way too.

7/10.
