House of 9 (2005)
4/10
What!? You AREN'T Saw 2? Oops, My Bad
8 March 2006
This movie bites, there's no way about it. There aren't many other words to describe this. The characterisation was minimal, the characters were pretty much all the same anyway, and the only reason I can see this movie getting an 18 rating is because of Dennis Hopper's horrific accent! Basically, 9 strangers are locked in a house, told to kill each other, the survivor gets 5 million dollars. That's it. No frills. A very slow pace, and some truly awful characters (yes Asher D, that means you)make you want to claw your eyes out. The best to watch is the Scottish Druggie, Shona. Funny and Nasty, she's a joy to watch alongside Suzie Amy. But that's just about it for the film, Kelly Brook is like a human vacuole, Dennis Hopper just looks confused and why is the prize in dollars if the movie is set in London? Durr...

That said, it has a VERY good ending, in my eyes anyway, and if you're a fan of Suzie Amy then give it a try. Otherwise, stay very very far away, and watch Saw 2 instead.
