Dark Reprieve (2008)
6/10
It's the acting.

The AHHCTING! It's awful! But everything else - besides the low, low budget - is really great. I hope the director got paid well, at least, because it seems to me he must have worked pretty hard on this. The writing is just OK - that doesn't help - concept is great as is the execution.

I really want to care about these people but then they start AHHCTING! again and I'm all "didn't I see him in that ad for Nescafe?" and then the screaming comes back and I remember to watch the movie.

Once I do that and calm myself with the fact that, at least the actors LOOK right for their parts, and really just pay attention to the movie as a whole it's pretty good, in fact.

And, as someone else mentioned - I'd call it a Thriller or Mystery before I called it Sci-Fi any day. Or I might say: SPOILER: "Surprise! It's Sci-Fi!" If that could be a label.
