Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
While traveling in Czech Republic, the American friends Brad (Boyan Vukelic), Christina (Fiona Glascott), T.K. (Derek Hamilton) and Kelly (Amy Perfect) find a map with the route to an ancient castle and they decide to visit the place. They force the entrance in the castle and after a while, they realize that they are trapped in the spot, without any exit and suffering painful hallucinations. When they meet the weird deranged Travis (John Tench), the stranger explains that they are in hell, and one of them must stay behind to permit the rest of the group to escape. While they decide who will be the chosen one, the true nature of each one of them is revealed."Within" uses the basic concept of "Cube", showing a group of people unsuccessfully trying to find an unattainable exit, combined with the behavior of persons under extreme stress, disclosing their true nature. The result is a good low budget movie, with a young cast having good performances. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Escolhido" ("The Chosen")
