Review of Within

9/10
Scary? Yes

Warning: Spoilers
When I viewed this Movie on HBO yesterday, I was completely flummoxed and thrown for a loop while trying to make sense of the ending, like who was the person that was shot by the cops, and how come there was still one more nut job left within the walls.

The Movie seems to hint at a supernatural plot from the beginning, but starts veering off towards a Thriller soon after. There were a few scenes that suggested an entity that could move about the house totally unnoticed by anyone, and appeared to have super strength and blinding speed.

I was elated when the locksmith was claw hammered in the head, but couldn't understand how the assailant got himself and the corpse up the attic in what seemed to be mere seconds without making any discernible noise whatsoever.

The unbelieving Parents bit has become somewhat passe over the many movies that continue to use it, maybe it's about time Producers start to come up with other ideas to keep thrillers or supernatural movies more interesting and appealing to the audiences.

It's a total shame that the gorgeous and vivacious wife and daughter had to "buy the farm" in the end. Don't get me wrong, the movie has lots of "jump in your chair moments"...but I still think this movie would have played out much better if it had been of the supernatural flavor instead.
