4CLOSED is a not-bad psycho thriller from The Asylum, and thankfully one of their movies that wasn't made to rip-off a Hollywood blockbuster; it's much more interesting and fresher as a result. The slim storyline tries to be up to date with the times by featuring a homeowner who loses his home to foreclosure but refuses to get out when the new owners show up. The film is predictable and could have been made twenty years ago; there's absolutely nothing that happens that you won't have seen done elsewhere. However, I did like the cast members who bring something extra to the story. Marlee Matlin's character's deafness is an unusual and sympathetic touch, while James Denton brings his Mr. Nice family guy persona across from DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. SCREAM's Jamie Kennedy isn't imposing at all as the villain, but he is fun, and Paul Sorvino shows up in a small role.
