Kill Theory (2010)

Sadly Over-hyped

Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely the worst movie.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

I Thought the trailer made this movie look really good with a lot action it.This movie 3 couples going to cabin for the weekend and soon are in danger when some stranger Kills one their friends and tell to Kill there Friends, If no one kills they will die. I think the plot for the movie was decent twist on normal cabin in the woods movies There had some decent actors, who don't over act their scenes.There were decent Bloodly moment in this movie, they could have been more bloody for slasher movie.I felt this movie a bit too much like Donkey Punch that came year before, Which I didn't really like at all, (Not seen it that movie for while, May need to re-watch that, I didn't really like that at the time) I didn't like how the movie ended at all, I thought it decent twist on normal slasher movie but don't think there anything that really stood out their for this movie to get notice. 4/5 out of 10

I heard of this movie from IMDb and I actually had never heard of it before. It had a low 5.6 rating but after reading some positive reviews I decided to give it a try and Im glad I did. It story line thats somewhat original for a slasher and its executed very well. The acting is good right up until the scenes where they are forced to use emotion then some of the actors are shaky.This movie is about a man who its just getting out of jail on a manslaughter charge. He was rock climbing with his friends when the rop above him was going to snap he decided to cut the rope and drop his two friends to their death. His lawyer said normal people wouldn't make the same choice and this man set out to prove him wrong using a group of college kids as his test subjects.I actually really enjoyed this movie and I think it deserves more then a measly 5.6. It was a solid original idea and it was one of the more entertaining slasher movies I have seen.

I was pleasantly surprised with "Kill Theory". Obviously I read the reviews before watching and I had some doubts because I don't really care for your everyday teen slasher films. This one was better than your average slasher.The beginning I feel was a little rushed but I understand they wanted to get the killers story quickly covered before moving onto bigger things. Unfortunately if you did not pay close attention to the first 10 min. then you completely missed the entire point of the end of the movie, which by the way was a GREAT twist that I did not see coming...very well planned out. I always enjoy movies that star Agnes Bruckner and wish that there were more of them, her character is likable. The other characters were well formed and relatable with your typical good guy, bad guy of the group being obvious to the viewer. Some creative death scenes, even though some are not so believable. I don't know of many situations that you can be shot in the stomach of all areas and still be able to knock someone to the ground, sit on them and strangle them for several minutes. But it is a movie and I get the gore effect. Script was good and actors did a good job of portraying the story.Overall a good movie that I will watch again in the future, I would recommend it. :)

A criminal is released on parole after serving time for an incident while mountain climbing when he cut the rope that sent three of his friends falling to their doom. This culminates in a night where the man released sets up a game with a group of affluent, yuppie soon-to-be college graduates staying at the home of their host's father's posh summer place. During the evening, the kids, who seemed to be in high spirits and anxious for the prominent future, will be given a choice, one will be able to survive while the others must perish, cut off as the killer's friends were, his testing a "kill theory" where he sees how much one values his/her life, willing to sacrifice their own in order to make it out alive. So we watch as they pick apart each other, loyalties divided, betrayal and backstabbing, seeing first hand the true nature of many when facing extinction. We see a gun juggled around as it controls the possibility of who lives and dies. We see attempts at manipulation, while the mastermind behind this whole orchestrated scenario offers others a chance to gain an advantage, also denying anyone an escape from the premises. Six o'clock is the deadline and as the clock ticks, violence and desperation escalates until nearly everyone is dead in one way or another. A shovel is used to bash a face in until it's a bloody pulp. A fireplace poker is plunged into an eyeball and through the skull. A bear trap goes through one victim trying for an ax stuck in a tree stump. A knife is used to stab into the stomach and leg, one particular moment revealing a dark truth about how love can fall by the wayside when time is almost up. What does happen is we do see how true love reigns at the end when one does give his life for another after being double-crossed by who he perceived to be his one-and-only. Like the Saw movies and the genre as a whole where we see humankind's true nature when facing death first-hand, "Kill Theory" follows a select group of individuals and how they react to a crisis. Eventually, among them is one who is willing to pursue whatever lengths necessary to save his/her hide, while another character shows their true colors in a startling, abrupt manner, catching a victim off-guard because the one attacked has no reason to expect his assailant. Mind games are employed as a means to secure a weapon or motivate the more vulnerable to improve their situation. I think movies like "Kill Theory" and "Saw" series will always appeal to a certain crowd who enjoy seeing characters turn on each other, tearing each other apart through actions and words, while hoping to escape the killer's trap(s), falling prey to their own frailties and weaknesses, attempting to resolve a very difficult dilemma which has them in a stranglehold. As is often the case, the killer is always one step ahead of his playthings, the obstacles removing any ability to flee from their captor. Really attractive cast has familiar faces like Agnes Bruckner, Daniel Franzese, and Taryn Manning. Kevin Gage(Chaos)is yet again a serial killer whose face is barely shown, his voice both cold-blooded and to-the-point. As expected, there are a lot of spats and melodramatic relationship problems which play out as the story unfolds and body count rises.
