The first reaction that rose to my conscious mind is that this movie is about the subconscious. The blurb indicating some demonic paranormal entity is wrong: what is truly frightening in this film is what's called "life." Life is an experience from which there is only one escape - DEATH. But, death also holds an irrevocably horrific place in our psyche. Such is the case with Alice, on whom her mother's death unleashed hell in her young life, i.e., her father's abuse (which began the day of her mother's funeral). Ashamed of her own sexuality, afraid of any type of emotional connection, and utterly introverted, the empty apartment building (indeed the entire complex!) is The Snare - Alice's life, from which the only escape is suicide (pills on the floor), madness (the evocative darkness of her journal) or old age (her mother/herself as the old woman and a corpse). So, when we see her finally escape, we expect her to be stronger, to escape and break away from her life. But where do we see her in the end? In the same Hell that the film began in, even in the same bedroom. Perhaps there is an echo of Sartre's "No Exit" - Hell is other people. All in all: creepy, disturbing, dark, thought-provoking and an excellent vintage. PS - Did no one notice that the old woman bore a striking resemblance to Alice?

Taking a trip into the wilderness, a group of friends on a retreat to a remote seaside lodge find themselves alone and stranded inside a cursed apartment complex by a malevolent entity that holds a powerful spell over them and forces them into desperate means to get away. For the most part, this one was a decent if unspectacular effort. Like most modern British horror films, the film is really undone by the languid and wholly uninviting pacing that just really drags this one out far longer than it really should be. The first half of this one is a prime example as this one just goes through such a sullen and drowsy tone that just starts this one off on a downbeat feel showing them at every stop along the way, taking their time getting set-up in the building and their initial interactions together makes this one feel quite challenging. That it takes a while for them to realize they're trapped and for the horror to kick in makes this one feel like so many of the recent British efforts which utilize the same factors, taking far longer to get its main point across since it spends far too long on the plodding build-up rather than anything else. That there's not a whole lot of intensity or energy to the proceedings as everyone tends to offer up no urgency in their actions really completes the picture for this one in how dull and drab it really sets itself up as being, and with the whole build-up taking so long this one does have some problems to work through. There's also the rather troubling issue here with this one really leaving a lot of elements open to speculation, really not letting it's burning mysteries get explored in any shape or form as so much of this one goes unexplored or unanswered throughout here. From the source of the visions showing the mysterious children playing in the woods, the scenes of her watching her memories from her abused childhood or the whole point of luring them to the complex in the first point, there's a lot on offer here that doesn't make much sense and it really lets a lot of questions go unanswered. These here hold it back somewhat even though there are some rather engaging elements within it. One of the film's better features is the fact that this one really manages to evoke a creepy and somewhat unsettling atmosphere with the way it builds itself up along the way. Once we get the impact realized that they're stranded and isolated together, this one offers up some great ideas of their plight together as the fear and paranoia they experience is manifested in their behavior as well as the increasingly strange and mysterious visions. Those are where this one really picks up, going from the quick flashes of people wandering down by the sea to the full-bore visions showing the happenings of the strange cult and how they end up altering her version of reality that really brings up quite a lot of nice freak-outs here to go along with that burgeoning paranoia. That all leads into the fine finale that brings about quite a shocking conclusion to it all as the revelation given here is quite a striking and shocking conclusion that wraps it all together quite nicely offering some decent blood and gore along the way. It's certainly good enough, but it's just too flawed to be higher. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Brief Nudity, a sex scene, Rape, drug use and close-up shots of dead animals.

Honestly I feel like there might be two different movies out there, because I didn't see the one these glowing reviewers did! The good: It was a very pretty movie. The cinematography was nice, and it seemed well-made. The score was lovely, as well. I was able to watch the entire thing without shutting it off, so it wasn't the worst I'd ever seen. I liked one of the characters, and genuinely felt for her at times. I liked the premise, it was an interesting situation. I liked the uncertainty of whether it was paranormal or psychological, though I think they could have pressed that further in either/both directions. The bad: The movie was needlessly gross, with unnecessary amounts of maggots, puke, and diarrhea. I have a strong stomach, so it didn't bother me so much as it made the whole movie seem like it was trying way too hard. Two of the three characters were pretty one- dimensional, though it was clear the writer tried very hard to add depth with a weird backstory that went nowhere. The other character had almost no dialogue, and was mostly seen laying around. Some of the dialogue was very cheesy, it was impossible not to notice that they were going off of a script. The plot was completely unfocused and felt incomplete. There was lots of gazing off mysteriously into the distance, which seemed like an attempt to come off as artsy but ended up feeling vapid. Also, I kept seeing ways to escape or get help that they didn't address. The water was turned off from within the apartment, surely a pipe could have been broken open (which, by the way, could also have attracted the attention of the caretaker); they could have built a fire on the balcony to signal for help; there was plenty of fabric and clothing around to create another rope after the first one was dropped; they could have shimmied down the rope to the apartment below and repeated, there was no need to make one long enough to reach the street (dangerous, but surely a better option than murder and cannibalism, right? Not to mention another apartment might have more supplies and/or an unlocked door); etc. There were also lots of questions I had. Why was a spider still alive under the glass after all that time? Why would you scrape a glass along the bottom of the tub instead of drinking from the source directly? Why did their teeth go completely rotten in what was presumably about a month? Why were there so many maggots? Why eat spiders and human flesh, but not the maggots, which would actually have provided protein? Why would an entire building be shut down and still supplied electricity and water? Why would an entire building be shut down like that at all? Shouldn't the "caretaker" have checked to make sure the building was empty before going around locking all of the doors? Was there no fire escape? Why did the guy have the strength to rape two women and not to fight for his life (you'd be surprised what adrenaline and the body's response to choking can do)? Also, uncooked pasta is delicious. One of the characters made a fuss about it. I know that's not a real complaint, but I wanted to include it. :P

You would be better off going to the bathroom for an hour and half than watching this movie. You would get more out of it. That said, the story is about 2 women and a man that go off for the weekend and get trapped on the top floor in their room. They start seeing freaky stuff that is really pointless basic nonsense. Since there is no real plot to follow the movie is unnecessarily gross to try and add something to a weak plot. But what drives you crazy is the fact that there is multiple obvious ways for the 3 to try to escape. If you are starving and about to die, try anything but laying around!!! They could use the linens, clothes, and other things to make a rope to go down a few floors at a time. They kind of do this but drop it, but there is still clothes and sheets afterward, HERE'S AN IDEA: TRY AGAIN AND DON'T DROP IT THIS TIME. OR just go down one floor, open the elevator doors and climb or slide down the cables. YOU ARE DYING, STOP LAYING AROUND. The building must have failed fire code because they have fire, SET OFF THE FIRE SYSTEM. When they had water, flood the room until the rooms below all flood. At one point the man beats on the floor with metal but just can't get through. Later after he is killed for attempted rape. The girl cuts him up with an electric knife to eat him. REALLY!!! You have an electric knife and haven't tried cutting through a wall or the floor with it, after a month of laying around dying. It goes on and on.... This screams of the girl running away from the monster past the obvious running car and into the woods. I don't know who gave this good reviews, must have watched a different movie.

Honestly I'm not one for bad reviews BUT this movie was such a waste of my time. Usually I would check before-hand IMDb's rating on such a movie but this one I was totally unprepared for. The acting was so awful and the story-line, oh the story-line.....it was such a mess. I'm not sure what all of the other viewers gained from the movie to have such high ratings but for me personally this movie just doesn't cut it, AT ALL. I absolutely love my horror movies and know a good horror movie when I see one, this to be quite honest just reminds me of those poorly made movies that have gruesome blood scenes with pretty woman that try to amplify the movie. FAIL.

First, it's nothing like the blurb. I'm thinking there was some demon or ghost that haunted this apartment that prevents these people from escaping. However, I can only conclude these were three people with mental issues in the first place who became stuck in this apartment due to some technical malfunction of the building, or some nut doing the "Human Experiment Project". What happens is it caused the paranoia to kick in or it was some drug induced psychosis which brings out their inner fears and or psychotic disorders. For instance if you were abuse as a child and pushed it out of your mind as an adult it manifest in flash backs and attacks of crippling terror. That's what a lot of this film felt like. It's like flashes of your worst personal nightmare. Such as...you are a heartless sexual sadist who hid behind a mask of wholesome goodness then you find yourself in a situation you can't hide your afflictions and you give in to your basic animal urges. All I know about this film is I needed to be smoking whatever all those who left these raving reviews were smoking. Honestly, peeps, this is another one of those films that is all about shock value and an attempt at avant-garde cinema. Good attempt; but this type of film has been done better and at the very least has left you thinking about it long afterwards. Not this puppy. You want to forget you stupidly sat there until the end, thinking if you keep watching it will make more sense at the end. Okay, here goes my honest opinion, want it or not. This film would have been better off if it had been about vacationers fighting against a actual demon are ghost that wouldn't allow them to leave this apartment instead of this metaphorical mess. In my determination, they were only prisoners of their own minds.

Its alright to have a limited budget, its alright to have a simple setting, but that's all that's alright about The Snare. This film is horrifying for all the wrong reasons. For starters the characterizations are, for the most part, dismal. There's the truly repulsive boyfriend and his slightly less repellent, "blonde" girlfriend. The other female character comes across as more refined and intelligent. Its an inexplicable match up, that just doesn't make sense. Perhaps aside from the suggestion that she might be an abuse victim. That said, her association with her train wreck "friends" really does not make sense. The spooky atmosphere is alright and the scares are OK but really the whole film is pulled down markedly by the cheesy characterizations. Its hard to take them seriously and the general "ickiness" of two of the three leads makes it hard to really vest in them and their welfare when things turn sour. Some reasonable acting let down by flawed characterizations and limited, rather bland, story development. Four out of ten from me.

Okay. Lets Begin. I have an exam tomorrow and I'm taking time out just to tell you guys how bad this is. IT MADE ME PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY SICK. OKAY. NOT JUST LIKE 'OMG MUM I FEEL ILL' SICK BUT LIKE 'OMFG I THINK I MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE RIGHT NOW' SORTA SICK. I was led next to my girlfriend in bed watching this randomly because i wanted to watch something scary, as im slightly psychopathic and literally LOVE HORRORS and the website i watched it on told me IMDb had rated it 7.2 so i went ahead without checking, wow did i f*** up. This is not a horror my friends, its almost like dipping your balls into hot molten lava whilst watching trumps inauguration performance on repeat and never being able to actually die from the pain. I mean horrors are meant to scare you or make you jump however this one made me want to... I dunno, there just aren't any words. Basically guys, JUST DON'T. I'm saying this not because im a douchey little student who thinks he's a pro movie expert, Im saying this because i really, REALLY, don't want you guys to suffer the torture that i did. Luckily for my girlfriend she had basically fallen asleep/stopped looking, Don't blame her. Now here's the interesting part, Why did i sit all the way through it? Why? I honestly believed deep down in my heart that there would be some sort of crazy, mindblowing, blow your socks off ending (Also i cba to move to be quite honest lol). No. The ending guys, was actually at the beginning. I'm saying this final warning like a parent says to there kids 'don't do drugs', Don't WATCH THIS MOVIE. phew rant over i hope you got the message. FYI i've never logged in to IMDb to do anything but this and i don't plan on doing anything again, thats how much i HATED this film. Much love to anyone that ignores this review, as your gunna need it.

For starters, good movie, really enjoyed it. Strong on atmosphere, great performances, a real sense of mystery throughout and nail biting suspense. However, I would say that it is weaker overall in terms of story and character, although I don't feel this hurts it too much because of the type of film it is. This film is more about an experience....an emotion driven, mood driven and tension driven piece and that is where and why I feel it excels. It doesn't matter whether the characters are likable or not in this context. It's apparent from the get go that this film positions the audience as the cold spectator so that they can witness the horrific events that take place and then draw their own conclusions. It doesn't hold your hand, it's up to you which characters you like or not, feeling connected to them and empathizing with them is not important or essential when it comes to watching this. Likewise, similarly to The Shining, which was obviously an influence, I get the impression you're not supposed to get all the answers, its not supposed to make complete sense, that's the very nature of what makes the paranormal frightening if you believe in that sort of thing. It's what makes you think about it afterwards and keeps you talking about it. Would recommend a watch.
