The Break-In Audience Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
M Brooke I stumbled upon this movie on Prime tonight and despite it's low rating of 2 stars, I decided to give it a try. Sometimes your run-of-the-mill B-horror film can turn out decently scary, despite not being everyone's cup of tea.It was your typical hand cam sort of set-up, similar to Paranormal. A standard, douchey couple in a subpar condo start experiencing neighborhood disturbances. Things get real when their good friend and neighbor is stabbed in the result of a home intruder. Alas, the couple, although expecting a goddamn child, decides to stick it out and remain in their home despite multiple burglaries in the area. Just as the film begins to finally build up a bit of momentum, it takes a sloppy, hard left and decides to play the sleep apnea card as a "twist" and what the man thought was a nightmare of him murdering the invader was actually a reality of the murder of his pregnant fiancé..Rushed, sloppy, and ill-written. The cherry on top was the morbid choosing of the cheesy house-pop in the final credits, complete with candid selfies of the couple. I feel genuinely ripped off for my time invested watching this film. What a joke.
ZombieCHenry This was one of the worst movies I've seen in my entire 38 years on earth. The best thing about the movie is that it is only 1:12 in length, so you can start hating yourself sooner after viewing.All of the 10/10 reviews have to be from friends of those affiliated with this awful, awful picture. I created an account solely to warn people of this atrocity.It's long, boring, inexplicable and just makes no sense at all, even the resolution. Did he do all the break ins? Did he stab his friend? Do normal people film everything constantly and their friends/family aren't annoyed? This movie actually made me MAD. There is no way that anyone should have ever allowed this to see the light of day. I am considering a class action suit against Amazon for allowing it free with Prime.I'm sure the people who made it are nice enough. But this was just absolute trash. If I could smear feces on the screen to further drive the point home, I would. Most terrifying of all is that the writer/director thought, at some point, "this is a good effort" and is still allowed to live freely outside of a mental institution.
eritz OK, So I almost didn't give this one a chance because of a handful of negative reviews I saw on Amazon. I have no clue what movie these people were watching because I loved this one!The acting was great and the plot was simple but effective. I don't want to give anything away, but there are some cool twists and turn throughout the film. The first half is slow, but still keeps u engaged. The second half is where all the action happens and it is well worth the wait. Its only a 72 minute film and by the time it was over, I was wanting more. I especially liked the character named Lawrence! Short but awesome cameo! I would absolutely recommend this film to anyone who likes indie horror films. This ultra low budget indie in my opinion is better than most of the big budget ones I've seen in the past 5 years.
jhawthorne-46333 So I am a horror freak! I will watch anything horror. I also love independent films. SO when I saw this on Amazon Prime I knew I had to check it out, however, I had never seen an advertisement before for it so I was a little skeptical. Not to mention, the reviews on amazon were all over the place. Some people loved it, others said worst movie I have ever seen. But I thought I would give it a try and form my own opinion......and how glad I am that I did.First off, if you need cgi and super heroes and explosions in your films, or if you like a bloody slasher horror film, this may not be your cup of tea. But if you like a good story, and good plot twists, give this one a try. Watching this I was so intrigued just by the everyday actions of the main couple. Felt like I had a birds eye view of their life(and it being in the horror section, I eagerly anticipated something bad to happen!) That anticipation kept me on my toes the entire movie. I don't want to give the ending away, but it was totally unexpected. I thought it was going to go one way, and then it took another turn. Very cool, very original. Kudos to the writer on this one. I would highly recommend this to all horror/indie fans!
