There is a certain concept that I love seeing within movies, when a group of people wake up in unfamiliar territory and have to participate in some dangerous activity such as a game.
Obviously the SAW franchise comes under this category, the Cube movies and the brilliant Circle (2015) and The Human Race (2013).
This is one of those and I was immediatly thrilled upon realising. I just love the idea I find it fascinating, how people react, the different personalities and the ruthlessness of people.
House of 9 see's a group of people locked inside a house together unable to escape. Upon awaking the instructions are announced, only one can leave and they'll win five million pounds.
Inevitably it doesn't take long before things to fall apart and the way it happens sadly could be better, but is still entertaining.
This British made thriller stars Kelly Brook, Dennis Hopper and the last Doctor Who Peter Capaldi.
Despite it's flaws I enjoyed this and was very impressed with the movies closing scene. Though it doesn't match the dizzying heights of the other examples of this concept it's still a passable movie.
The Good:
Great idea
Fantastic finale
The Bad:
Questionable execution
Hoppers accent is horrific
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Guns in movies are magic and have unlimited ammo
Kelly Brook can act without showing boobage
