Blackout (2008)

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This was another movie that Neflix had listed under Horror films so I figured I would watch it. This is one of those movies that feels like it is longer than it actually is and is actually somewhat difficult to sit though. It isn't that it wasn't good at all it's that I didn't really care for the characters. As in I didn't care who died and who lived. Also this movie was quite predictable and I didn't really get shocked from anything in it which is never good in a Horror movie in my honest opinion. Although I didn't give this a high rating I still liked some parts. I give "Blackout" a 5 out of 10~Joe

I saw Blackout (IV) (2008) this morning, not to be confused withfhe other movie( Blackout (2008) Director: Jukka-Pekka Siili).This Blackout (2008) was Director: Rigoberto Castañeda!Three people from different walks of life, find themselves trapped inside a stalled elevator. What at first seems like an inconvenience rapidly escalates into a nightmare.I enjoyed the movie Devil, which came out two years after this movie, I thought I would enjoy this movie as well and I did !It was really good movies (it's not a horror movie at all but more of a Thriller ), this movie is really entertaining and really good, as some intense moments and the acting from short cast was surprisingly good, much better then i thought they would be.The Downside of the movie.The First half movie was really well made, it was tad realistic but second half movie went in slightly different way, which change the tone of the movie a bit. which I did not like at all.And the end, had some really Poor CGI effects (which don't normal bother me), in this movie, its just looks total out of place. 5 out 10 Good movieIf you liked Devil you should give this a watch! (I think Devil a slight bit better then this movie)

some people apparently just want to bash some relative unknowns for personal reasons, others want to bash famous people, neither give work a fair viewing. I read the first comments, wonder if his screenplays have been roundly rejected, or what his ax to grind is.the movie's use of flash backs was quite good, the casting was superb visually, beautiful women. the editing was economical. Itd successfully created an entire world. the photography was great. the acting was superb. every moment believable with tumultuous emotional inner lives. it's sleeper worth seeing. I cannot comment on the script versus the finished film. But he took a tired concept and made it work most excellently.

Three people with places to be end up in an elevator in a blackout. The trouble is all of them have secrets one of which is that they are crazy. Really well made film, it has some dynamite visuals, is undone by uneven acting (Amber Tamblyn is hot and cold) and a plot that really makes no sense no matter which way you look at it (The bricked up elevator shaft makes no sense no matter how you explain it). Based on a book I'm going to be certain that this is a film that should have remained as a book. It just never makes any real world sense, even allowing for it to be a movie. Those looking for visuals to steal for their own films are directed to give the film a shot, all others are best taking the stairs.
