The Human Race (2013)
This is the ultimate race....
I have no idea why so many people rated this movie so poorly. Other reviews are full of it, I have no idea what expectations they had going into the film. For a B movie, it was pretty dang good.
Acting was pretty decent, nothing that really stood out as bad or good. The character development was somewhat lacking, but I believe the film makers were using this as a device to keep the audience guessing. I do have to say I got a bit sick of the deaths as it became pretty repetitive, but there were some breaks. There were some unexpected deaths as well, which I was pleased to see as movies are becoming more and more predictable.
Don't go into the film expecting 9 or 10. It has a VERY original story, an ending that comes out of left field and me actually wanting to see a sequel. I had actually wanted to give it an 8, but decided against it as I feel they had opportunities for more supporting characters but didn't go for it.
Open Grave (2013)
Be ready for a slow burn....to the grave
Film quality was average and the scenes set up well. The acting starts a bit rough and ends up a bit above mediocre. Story was somewhat original, but was not presented very well. There were many unnecessary plot points and interactions that made it a bit frustrating to watch, as they didn't provide any substantial information until the end. The plot points that were necessary were explain haphazardly and were convoluted. The setup and trailer makes this seem like a SAW movie, but its quite far from it.
It's a decent film, just don't go into it with any expectations. If you can help it, the least you know about it, the better as the trailer for example will give a bit too much away.
