Take one part of (ANY) home invasion flick.
Throw in a bit Tony Perkins, a-la 'Psycho'.
Get Ms. Blair, for the 'young' (a-hem!) horror-flick ...je ne c'est quoI ('I don't know)- quality.
Get someone who went to 'Acme Film School (found on a book of matches), and throw it in the 'film-o-matic'®, and you'll have a film, which is 'perfect'.
'Perfect' for what?
Perfect to convince people this (it had to be straight to video) cheese-ball is 'something they heard others' thought was good'.
Then, they'll watch it, and they'll swear it was one of a fist-full of different films.
But, it wasn't - any of them, though it has a bit from each, and by this point the maker's of this have your money.
If - I-F this film had been real life, it's hard to get over the fact that, yes; people in a situation like this would be scared, but, at the same time, every opportunity they had to either escape, or turn the tables on the 'baddies'. they literally just sat their. Like the proverbial 'sitting ducks'.
THe one interesting actor (James D'Arcy), is so busy chewing the scenery, I don't know if he thought it'd be better playing it over the top, or the director WANTED iit.
Everything in this makes one scratch their head, and say; "I SWEAR I saw', or, 'I SWEAR I know that actor...'
Yes - even the people in this 'seem to be', such as Joshua Close, who bears quite a resemblance to Ryan Gosling.
All-in-all, the actual films this 'Frankenstinian monster'-films, that this one steals from, are better - by far.
