I stumbled upon this movie on Prime tonight and despite it's low rating of 2 stars, I decided to give it a try. Sometimes your run-of-the-mill B-horror film can turn out decently scary, despite not being everyone's cup of tea.It was your typical hand cam sort of set-up, similar to Paranormal. A standard, douchey couple in a subpar condo start experiencing neighborhood disturbances. Things get real when their good friend and neighbor is stabbed in the result of a home intruder. Alas, the couple, although expecting a goddamn child, decides to stick it out and remain in their home despite multiple burglaries in the area. Just as the film begins to finally build up a bit of momentum, it takes a sloppy, hard left and decides to play the sleep apnea card as a "twist" and what the man thought was a nightmare of him murdering the invader was actually a reality of the murder of his pregnant fiancé..Rushed, sloppy, and ill-written. The cherry on top was the morbid choosing of the cheesy house-pop in the final credits, complete with candid selfies of the couple. I feel genuinely ripped off for my time invested watching this film. What a joke.
The Break-In starts out looking like a Paranormal Activity rip off....but this movie is way better than any one of those type movies. It's one of the few found footage movies that the actors are so good that you actually care what happens to them. This also adds to the tension of the whole film. And let me say the last half hour of this movie is probably some of the most intense and creepy minutes I have seen in ages.. And the ending is a total shock.....I did not see that coming. If your looking for a gore fest look elsewhere but if you are looking for a good thriller to keep you "on the edge of your seat" then check it out. The Break-in is a breath of fresh air in the stale horror genre. I can not recommend this movie more, definitely one of the best horror movies released in 2016.
OK, So I almost didn't give this one a chance because of a handful of negative reviews I saw on Amazon. I have no clue what movie these people were watching because I loved this one!The acting was great and the plot was simple but effective. I don't want to give anything away, but there are some cool twists and turn throughout the film. The first half is slow, but still keeps u engaged. The second half is where all the action happens and it is well worth the wait. Its only a 72 minute film and by the time it was over, I was wanting more. I especially liked the character named Lawrence! Short but awesome cameo! I would absolutely recommend this film to anyone who likes indie horror films. This ultra low budget indie in my opinion is better than most of the big budget ones I've seen in the past 5 years.
If you watch this film it's 70 minutes of your life you will never get back - it's beyond terrible!! There is no tension at all, no attempt at acting, both the main characters are annoying (especially the girlfriend) and you can guess what the so-called 'shock' ending will be within 10 minutes of watching the film. I truly don't understand the high review scores for this...I can only assume the bloke who directed it got his mates to give them. It's just awful. Imagine a couple you know, they've just got a new phone, and they want to show you their 'day-in-the-life-of' footage...complete with looking for baby clothes (as they do in this one) that's what watching this drivel will be like (only I suspect your mates' one will be more interesting).
