Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Leofwine_draca 13 HOURS IN A WAREHOUSE is a low budget indie thriller that looks like nothing more than a typical RESERVOIR DOGS at the outset. Before long, weird stuff starts to happen and the atmosphere gets ominous, which is when you realise you're watching a ghostly copy of THE RING rather than a straight thriller. It's the usual type of picture that suffers from dull dialogue scenes that serve to add little to the narrative and merely consist of a bunch of guys sitting around bored out of their brains while the director tries hard to build suspense but fails miserably. Some brief elements of found footage camera-work add little to the experience, but the bits involving the ghosts are quite effective and the FX aren't too shabby. The film's hilarious highlight is a crazy bathroom encounter which feels like a tribute to TRAINSPOTTING's most notorious scene.
landocolt45 I noticed this movie because I thought the cover was really cool looking. The first thing I thought was, is this going to be a Saw rip off (there's a saw blade shown on the cover). It wasn't, but it ripped off more movies than any of the Scary Movies. Unlike Scary Movie which was supposed to spoof other movies, this takes itself very seriously. I recommend watching this with a group of people as it will be more entertaining that way (I saw it in a group of 4).It starts out with a group of guys planning to heist an art gallery and then meeting up at an abandoned warehouse. A woman is carjacked and brought to the warehouse. She is tied up while the crew apparently didn't rip off Reservoir Dogs enough as an imitation Steve Buscemi instead of talking about Madonna, talks about Robin Williams and what a genius he is. I can't make this up.A series of numbers keeps appearing as well. Ghosts that look like a combination of The Ring, 13 Ghosts and Pulse characters appear.I don't want to ruin anymore of this gem for you. We came up with this list of movies that were ripped off for this film: Reservoir Dogs,The Ring, 13 Ghosts, Pulse, Silence Of The Lambs, Hostel, The Blair Witch Project, Gothika, 8MM, Pulp Fiction and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There's probably more, but thats what I could come up with now.Lets hope there's a 14 Hours In A Warehouse in the works................NOT!
Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake) On an all-night watch over a robbery hostage in an abandoned warehouse of a former film studio, a group of thugs are terrorized by unknown forces. At the start, numbers randomly appear printed on the walls. Then, when the hostage makes her escape, the kidnappers begin to turn on another looking for a suspected rat. Eventually, amidst the fighting and fear, the gang discovers the terrible and sinister secret the film studio once held. . . and who the other residents of the warehouse might be. . .Enticing cover art and an interesting synopsis have too often led me astray into the land of bad cinema. Before checking a single review or finding anything else about '13 Hours in a Warehouse,' I decided to give it a shot. After all, if they took the care and time to make a cover this desirable, I'd assume they did the same for their film (ignoring, you know, The Asylum productions and everything Ulli Lommel). And, when it comes down to it, I can't say I was disappointed in the least. While the film is inconsistent, constantly altering tone and mood to the point of seeming a bit muddled, the highest and lowest of the swings are the best parts of the film. The horror elements actually are scary and the comedy elements actually are funny. The writing's not too bad, though the dialogue between the thugs tries too hard to be Tarantino-ish (including a seemingly endless rant about Robin Williams for some reason), but it's entertaining enough where it isn't a complete put-off. The story is interesting and works pretty well. Also, the direction is above average from what is usually seen at this budget level. The acting, for the most part, is acceptable, but the actors do slip up and lose their flow every once in a while. There are some nuisance problems like the annoying lapses in realism that occur throughout. For example, why would what looks like thousands of dollars in expensive film equipment be left to collect dust in an abandoned warehouse? Also, if a man commits suicide in a place, wouldn't the police perhaps investigate as to why? Maybe watch some of the tapes that are sitting around to see if there was anything shady going on? It's stuff like that that can really ruin the enjoyment of a film, but I was able to suspend my disbelief enough to look past it for the most part. . . actually, that's how the entire film turned out for me: Suspended disbelief = Enjoyment, and this was an entertaining enough film.Final verdict: 6/10. Not too shabby.-AP3-
tedthumb I have no idea where to begin because every part of the movie I watched was bad. It's rare when a movie doesn't have one good thing a viewer can say about it. I'm a fan of low budget movies that aren't from tinseltown. 13 Hours in a Warehouse only backs up peoples opinions on low budget movies that they are made by people that don''t know how to make a movie. Director Dav Kaufman's attempt to borrow a plot from Reservoir Dogs and make it a sorta horror movie did not work. Bad guys meet up in a warehouse with a kidnap victim. Said warehouse was a used to make twisted type snuff films. You can figure out what happens from there. I am 100% agreement with another reviewer that said Meisha Johnson stunk as the victim. Director Dav Kaufman for what ever reason took some kind of high ground by not following the B grade low budget horror formula. There has to be some kinda nudity. 13 Hours in a Warehouse tries to take itself to seriously. Don't waste time on this movie.
