At the End of Eight

Plot

Three young participants sneak into the home of a complete stranger as part of a popular but highly illegal game. The game requires the three players to stay inside for eight hours without being discovered.

Cast

Unfamiliar with anyone in front of or behind the camera.

Verdict

Now straight out of the gate let me praise the writers by saying this is a very unique film, the concept is certainly a new one or at least not something my movie obsessed butt has ever seen before.

Now let me segway into pointing out that the concept is flawed badly and simply didn't work as a feature film. Maybe it would have worked as a short film of less than 30 minutes, here it's unlikable, repetitive and it's impossible to have any empathy with the characters as ultimately they're criminals.

Watch it for the novelty value perhaps, but be aware it's instantly forgettable.

Rants

In a world that celebrates celebrity culture, influencers, commentators, pranks and generally mean spirited ill advised stupid stuff the concept of this movie is 100% believable. I could absolutely see this happening which in turn makes the movie feel realistic. Sadly it still doesn't change the facts, I can't cheer on people who are breaking into someones home for a cash prize and an alarming low one as well.

Breakdown

Very unique concept Concept just doesn't work Forgettable Terrible characters.
