Ok I can tot get this movie was made in a few days on an extremely below low budget but it was still stupid af. The actress were very pretty and would be great in a better movies. Also liked the bad guy he was good as a bad guy but then when he skipped around and danced he lost points with me. When you have a based on or true story, at least have the facts to back it up. All I found was something happened in Eastern Europe so the directors daughter and wife wanted a movie made about it.

I tried googling ALL the names at the end and no such true story could be found. Maybe it was a story the daughter and wife heard about; but never fact checked so they decided to go and make a crappy movie about it anyways. Because this was such a far fetched movie that even Clifford would have a hard time catching the point!

Actually its not as bad as a 1 or two star.

It does tell the story of the murder of Lawrence Mullholland but there isnt really much tension or suspense in the movie and a lot of implausible situations which usually one would ignore as just being a movie but in this case are more noticeable because the movie doesn't really hold your attention after the first 20- minutes!

Contrary to other reviewers the ending was appropriate because it was what happened, you can't tell a true story and then change the end so it suits the narrative but unfortunately the acting was really sub-par from all involved which did not help.

Its an average watch, not great but then again its not as bad as some of the reviewers are making out but if you are looking for a gripping thriller this is not it!

One word can actually sum it up -> "MEH"! Not great, not bad just meh!

22 minutes in this happens and it sets the tone perfectly. Please allow me to elaborate, a 6ft man has the heart-stopping moment of a stuggle when climbing over a feeble, wooden fence that he can look over without standing on his tippy-toes. I actually caught myself waving my hand at the screen and ranting "What are you doing"?! And that's the LEAST ridiculous things that happens in this film.

Now, I'm not going to complain about the rest of the story or the acting or the blah blah blah.

I'm just saying that it's pretty naff and from now on, I need to find a hobby for my Friday evenings as films like this make me question my very existence.

This has to be the most stupid movie I've ever seen. I was really looking forward to watching this and was HIGHLY disappointed!!!! I hope that the people these events actually happened to had much better sense than the characters.. (COMMON SENSE) ..... Geesh, what a let down

This a perfect example as to why some movies should never be made. There are no spoilers here as it is impossible for me to re-live this travesty. Please do not watch this movie.

I personally would not act anywhere near to what the characters who are involved in this do. Saw inspired a lot of imitations and copycats. Though I think its time to acknowledge that in films people tend to take what they like from other movies and make it their own. So while you could compare it to a degree, it is also quite contained.

Still contained, does not mean things won't get out of hand. So credibility, especially considering the premise this is ultimately based on, is fragile at best. The house of cards comes crumbling if you just even try to think about sense and logic ... if you can avoid that, you may be able to be entertained or whatever you'd call it, by what happens on screen ...

REVIEW - ODDS ARE

There is an expression in Yorkshire which sums this film up a treat, there's nowt so strange as people and this based on true events proves as much.

What starts off as a gripping thriller slowly as the film progresses starts to become less and less interesting which is a real shame as this film was based on a true story and as usual Hollywood try to answer the questions and put the dots together but honestly if they hadn't followed what actually happened and just concentrated on the thriller this would have been far better. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this film but I guessed who the real........ was before it was revealed.

Interesting concept, great story except for the end and an enjoyable watch.

Rating 7 out of 10

A very very very stupid movie! I hate it when directors make you look stupid, actions were so unreal! I didnt even continue watching it.

I truly don't understand all the bad reviews. This movie is far from the trash people are leading it to be. It is absolutely worth the watch. I gave it a 10 just to undo a couple of the one stars that it was unjustly given. In actuality the movie is about a six and a half out of 10.

There is utterly no saving grace to this movie. Neither the sad plot nor the forgettable cast can save this movie. Do yourself a HUGE favour and pass on this one. Trust me. You'll thank me.

The film started promising... and stayed promising for a full 20 minutes...that is until they got into the house. Then, it got highly predictable and implausible. The villain didn't feel like a villain, the other characters were dumber than the usual horror flick characters and the promised fear was non-existent. I felt I was watching a bad documentary.

If you're a fan of the genre, watch "Don't Breathe", which is not perfect but much better than this...

Someone lost his job and family for making this movie

I did actually watch the whole thing with zero expectations. Hard to do with horror but otherwise so many end up being disappointing. Even the "based on true events" lure couldn't save this movie! I found myself rolling my eyes and groaning about every ten minutes right from the start. To sum it up, if you enjoy movies where main characters do EVERYTHING WRONG all of the time then you might not hate it. Honestly I'm tempted to rewatch it with bad 80's music because as a horror spoof it might be more entertaining! Lol.

You will want your hour and a half back! Complete waste of time and talk about bad acting and stupid story.

It was an interesting movie to say the least. The plot is amazingly clever and unique. Most of the actors are top notch. The cinematography is top notch. If you are getting bored on a lazy evening this is the perfect movie to cap off the day. I loved it and I am sure you will love it too

This is the worst movie I have ever seen! I have never had the urge to write a movie review before, but after I watched this movie I felt the need to save as many people as possible from watching this trash. You are welcome!

Okay....-1 Star For Making Us Read Annoying Texts at the beginning...

I hope the movie doesn't do this again.

-1 Star For Goof, One time they didn't do that Odds Are #'s they just proposed a challenge and went right to it. That sorta defeats the whole purpose.

+1 Star For 'History' It encourages critical thinking and Original Thought.... the 'bad' guy is pretty cool And the 'bad' guy gets a pretty raw deal himself.

Physics says there is no way dude could have made jump from rooftop to pool. This really should be a -1 but hey.... it followed a lesson about History so I'm giving it a pass.

Alright the final third of this movie was a little bit of hit and miss. Really didn't affect the score much.

The moral really being 'Play Stupid Games... Win Stupid Prizes.....

4/10
