Nine Lives

I think it was an okay movie. There wasn't enough blood for a slasher film though. If your in my case though the accents of the actor who played Pete was enough to keep you watching and the music was awesome.

It was suspenseful and had cute guys in it so that it self was enough for me. I live around enough Scottish men but none of them sound like that. It's the only thing I liked Paris Hillton ever. Not to offend any one but she makes me look very fat and very ugly. I think it was a good movie and you can tell me other wise.

There is a tv commercial in which a group of teenagers stop at an old farm only to find that they are being stalked by a madman , one suggests that they get in their car and drive away - they reject that idea and then decide to hide in the barn behind the huge array of chainsaws hanging there. The characters in this movie make those idiots look brilliant.

I've watched a lot a very, very bad movies. I can usually find some small redeeming quality that makes say "hey, I've seen worse".

Bad acting, horrible screenplay and the cheesy "shot with an iPhone" look really made this one of the worst things I've ever seen and it had no redeeming value at all.

As mentioned in the header, the movie equivalent of sugar free Haribo Gummies. If that reference doesn't ring a bell, look them up on Amazon and read the reviews.

Sometimes you just wish that you had stopped to look up a movie on IMDb before you actually sit down to watch it. But then again, the fact that the movie had Paris Hilton on the cover should be more than sufficient to raise the alarm signals.

Yet, I ended up watching the 2002 movie "Nine Lives" from writer and director Andrew Green anyway. Why? Well, solely because it was listed as a horror movie, and also because it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. So of course, I gave the movie a shot, even though Paris Hilton was in it.

And as it turned out - as I had dreaded - the movie was a complete waste of time.

The storyline told in "Nine Lives" was just mundane and boring. I mean, there was literally nothing interesting in the entire movie, yet I kept hanging in there, hoping for something of any worth to take place on the screen. I was sorely disappointed and just wasted my time. I am amazed at how it is possible to write such a bland and boring storyline.

And the acting in the movie was, for the most parts, actually fair enough. Sure, it was by no means award-winning performances, and some managed to do better than others, none mentioned, none forgotten. But the actors and actresses were indeed severely hindered by a lack of proper writing, script and characters to work with.

For a horror movie, then "Nine Lives" didn't cut it. In fact, it didn't even make it off of the starting line. This was anything but scary in every part.

My rating of "Nine Lives" lands on a generous two out of ten stars, based mostly on the effort they put into the movie and the production value. Some of us suffered from a movie such as this so you don't have to. Take heed, and don't waste your time, money or effort on this one. I guarantee that once you make it through this movie, you'll only have one life left.

This picture is about nine old friends who are gathered in a Scottish Manor and everyone is happy to meet each other after so many years. Gals and guys join in and have plenty of booze and start renewing past experiences with each other.

Paris Hilton looked very happy in the role she played and I can understand why, she had a very small part and was the first person to disappear very early into the film.

The wind howling through this creepy old mansion and snow falling made this a very scary film until you find out the reason for all the murder and stabbing. The plot goes completely no where and I must say that most of the actors tried their very best, but the story stinks.

This is a typical low-budget British movie: in other words, it's a fairly competent idea rushed into production without much thought on the script. While there's little original in the storyline (in fact, the whole plot felt very similar to 'Sorority House Massacre 2', even to the extent of the flash-forward at the start... except that unfortunately the hot girl from 'Quills' doesn't spend the whole movie running around in a nighty), it does have a couple of scares and some laughs, a few of which even seemed intentional.

I was impressed with the first minute or so, since I thought for once that there might be a new British director with some sense of style; but then it went into ten minutes of tedious, annoying reminiscing by ex-public-school yuppies which was irritating at best and left me just wishing they'd hurry up and die. It also exposed the limited acting abilities of some of the cast who were unconvincing even in such simple roles. Once the main character actually arrived, which seemed to be around fifteen minutes into the movie, things started to move and the rest wasn't too bad until the monologue at the end which basically invalidated most of what had gone before.

So there's not a lot that can be done to salvage the plot or the often predictable 'surprises' (there's a killer in the house, someone very obviously sits by a large window, guess what happens next?), but cut out that monologue and the boring fifteen minutes and it could be a half-decent late-night Channel 5 movie.

And _any_ movie with that girl from 'Quills' is worth watching at least once...
