I recently watched the UK film 🇬🇧 Nine Lives (2002) on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of rich socialites who went to college together and meet up at an old Scottish castle 🏰 to celebrate one of their birthdays. They start poking into things they shouldn't and unleash a spirit that hopes to kill them all. Can anyone stop the ghoul, or will all the friends meet their demise?
This film is directed by Andrew Green in his debut directorial project and stars Paris Hilton (House of Wax), Rosie Fellner (Agent of Heroes), Vivienne Harvey (Carmen's Kiss), Patrick Kennedy (The Queen's Gambit), and David Leitch (John Wick).
This was such a frustrating movie where you can't wait for everyone to die. You really want the "bad guy" to win, but even the villain wasn't done well. The horror elements are lacking, with this being more of a whodunit with corpses and no real good kills. This feels like a WB version of Clue. The ending pep talk was the last straw and the definition of annoying. There's nothing to see here.
In conclusion, Nine Lives is a disaster of a film with no direction, a weak story, and no redeeming elements. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
