Are You Scared (2006)

Very Cool!!!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Well, not much more I can say that hasn't already been said. Bad lines, horrible acting, you could see the ending long before it got close. Bad games, very unrealistic. chains around a door that wouldn't keep my six year old in, nobody thinks to pickup the GUN, *SPOILER* (maybe..) and the whole, "Im in the control room but I'm not gonna break everything around me" bit was just stupid. I can see why everyone is so angry, it could have been a real movie, if there was ONE competent person working for the film crew and directors. Although it was a good movie to do my homework while it was on, I got disgusted so much I quit paying attention and got my work done. Only saving grace was a FEW gross scenes, but not many. Don't waste your time unless you REALLY want to waste your time!And now, I'm off to watch "Are You Scared 2"....Looks as bad as the first so far!

Spoiler Alert Not that it matters, because this movie is predictable and absolute landfill material.This movie rips off Saw so bad. I will point out obvious catches. Spoilers Everywhere The idea of cameras - Saw 2 rip Cops looking for killer - Saw 1 Shotgun Trap - Saw 1 Drill Trap - Saw 1 (Screwdriver scene) Key hidden into abdomen - beginning of Saw 2 Strangers are connected to main killer - Saw 2 One cop rushes in by himself - Saw 2This movie is really bad. The main killer goes to look for his daughter because she rip the camera off the wall and hacked into it to work with a projector. Who the hell is going to visit the trap when their are sparks waiting to ignite 2-3 huge gasoline tankers? While not take the elevator?Do not watch this.

I have to admit, when it comes to movies of the b-grade variety, I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur. However, after watching this horrible steaming pile of monkey crap, I can only ask two questions. "How?" As in, "how in the hell did anybody ever decide that this movie was worth committing to celluloid in the first place?" and "Why?" as in, "Why in the hell did I just waste my valuable time in watching this?" Of course, if you don't believe me, just watch some of this laughable "film" and judge for yourself. Marvel in absolute wonder as a camera is ripped off of it's mounting and the television screen responds with a DVD header (like the ones you see when you first turn on your DVD player). Laugh in awe as some of the worst acting of all time barrages you with a steady stream of dialogue that ranges from terrible to....I can't even describe how bad it truly was. Gawk, as "characters" such as our token black go from being a scared pussy one second, to a street tough who thinks everything is funny (even though he woke up with a gaping wound in his chest).Plus, it leaves me with one final thought.The "father" in this movie set up this elaborate plot, full of complicated traps and other assorted nonsense. Why did he do this, you may be asking yourself? Why, to get revenge on his ex-wife and daughter of course. And just how did he know that the daughter was even going to request to be on this show in the first place? It truly makes the head spin, even hurt if you think about it too long.If you watch this for free, you have still been ripped off.Saw was by no means a great movie. It had its flaws, like most movies do. However, compared to this, it was Oscar worthy. Do yourself a favor and skip this one, no matter what anybody promises you in return.

First of all, my quick review. By far one of the worst movies ever made, anyone who says otherwise (besides the ones who found this entertainingly stupid) has no clue about movies whatsoever. The acting was hilariously bad, I could do much better without having ever acted. The camera work was pretty "high school movie project", and the story wasn't even REMOTELY original. SAW 2 was this movie professionally done. Or I guess, more accurately, THIS movie was SAW 2 unprofessionally done. And that's a gross understatement. Let me give you five reasons why, off the top of my head: 1. If you said it's not really a rip off of SAW 2, consider this: there is a key placed in someone's insides that must get removed (SAW 2 does this, and OH! so does SAW 1). There are two main cops, a man and a woman. The woman cop is trying to restrain the aggressive man cop from being unprofessional, from rushing into things, and from being too aggressive. The woman cop has curly longish hair. She is not a very good actress. Sound familiar?? Dina Meyer from SAW 2 and her buddy cop Donnie Wahlberg. Um, what else? How about the whole concept of a bunch of people stuck in a room with death traps awaiting them that is relevant to their lives, and each one can escape or survive by winning their twisted game? Where have I heard that before??? Oh yeah, SAW 2. The voice transformations by the boring, flat villain who may as well be called "Reciprocating Saw" so as not to completely give away the connection. The stack of TV monitors he watched to enjoy his game... Yeah, this movie had a FEW rip off moments, especially coming one year after SAW 2... Awful movie...2. Near the end of the movie, we see this flash of scenes that goes from inside to outside of the building/warehouse. We hear this goofy awfully placed soundtrack every time we see the Dina Meyer copycat cop outside the building. The suspense builds as we wait for the two "stories" to meet up. NEVER HAPPENS!!! SHE NEVER GETS IN!!! How stupid and pointless were all those minutes watching her sneak around the building with her gun?? Awful movie...3. Near the end when the hero lady is in the control room, she puts some chain lightly around the door handle, and this STOPS the mad man from entering. It doesn't even LOOK like it could stop him, nevertheless the fact that it COULDN'T. They could have at least fooled our eyes a bit. But no. THEN, she doesn't know whether he's still behind the door or not, so she slowly undoes the chain. THERE'S A MONITOR RIGHT BEHIND HER WITH HIS LOCATION BEING TRACKED!! Why not look there first, see where he is, plan accordingly, THEN unlock the supposedly locked up door?? Awful movie...4. The genius villain can rig up light bulbs to explode on cue, films to start playing on cue, the ridiculous gun trap where there's no way the a little tug on a wire shoots all those guns off, one after another, and they all MAGICALLY hit him, although he's not even in the center of the circle... Or any of the traps really. They're far-fetched to say the least. Awful movie...5. Stupidity. The girl waits for the supposed "villain" to come out of the elevator, so she stand 8 ft back from the elevator door to attack him with a pole. She doesn't seem like she knows how to tie her own shoe, but she'll attack this grand master genius with a pole. Instead of placing herself intelligently out of sight, beside the elevator, she awaits him head on. Stupid. Then this weak stupid girl can put a pole through another guy's body. ALL THE WAY THROUGH!! How? Stupid. And how was that guy alive and standing up?? No way he'd be alive. STUPID. They constantly separate when they're all terrified. No one would be that stupid in real life, when they're that scared. The villain somehow escapes the building alive, tracks down the daughter, sets up a camera in the house, somehow wires it to her TV and can change it to a live feed magically. Would he do all that just to come in and kill her? Stupid.The gore is insanely fake looking, the acting is inexcusable, the brains of the characters are non-existent, and the movie is intolerable. I like good B horror flick, but this redefined awful. Please avoid this and save yourself the time unless you want to set a personal new "worst movie ever". I could make a better movie with my friends in a week.
