Trivia
During a particularly intense scene Dan Paton agreed to be choked for real on set. He was given a penny and told to drop it if he was in danger. The first few takes were fine, but on the final one he couldn't breathe and the penny dropped. The crew panicked and rushed to his aid. He'd started to black out and was unaware of what had happened. The performance looked so convincing and horrific to watch that the take ended up being the final one in the film.

Goofs
The interior walls would be far less durable than the exterior ones. The group could have easily broke through into another unit and from there into a stairwell. That this never occurs to the protagonists seems to be rather odd.

Amazing Movie!...Bold! Divisive!...Haters gonna hate!

First off, let's get one thing clear. THE SNARE is nothing like THE EVIL DEAD. The comparison seems so far off the mark to me it's as if the guys on the marketing team who put out that press release comparing it to EVIL DEAD haven't even watched this movie.

Secondly! After all that said...Wow this is a great movie! It's utterlly relentless with what it throws at you....Starts slow at first but then it just hits you again and again and again.

Gripping, believable performances, a rich, foreboding atmosphere and extremely harrowing to watch all round.

DEFINITELY NOT FOR EVERYONE...I totally get why some people wouldn't enjoy this, especially if you're going in expecting something like the Evil Dead.

I'd say that as a movie its much closer to THE SHINING in style but is different enough to be it's own thing.

Like I said, some people really won't like this but if you fancy something different and a genuine scare then this one is certainly worth a watch, even if just for the experience!!!

But not when you're eating!
