البيت الآمن 1618

Don't go into this expecting a blockbuster. This is absolutely an indie movie, but it isn't trying to hide it. The acting is shooty in some places, the main antagonist's costume is awkward, the color grading is bad, and the changing aspect ratio is sometimes distracting. Yer, in spite of all that this was a very enjoyable film for me. The comic relief isn't overly relied on the way a lot of other modern films do, the costumes are beautiful with the exception mentioned above, the vfx are competent, the chemistry between the sisters is good for the most part, and the script has a lot of tension. While far from perfect, this is a very enjoyable watch, especially with friends, but do be weary for a pretty harrowing rape scene about half way though.

Three sisters kidnap and kill the son of a Colorado senator for what he did to one of them. They hold up in a safe house and do not leave. They stay there thinking they are safe. Meanwhile the senator has hired a notorious killer to hunt them down. The killer's music was annoying. The acting and script wasn't good. Bad camera angles. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I had to create a IMDb account just to review this movie. I don't think the previous reviews have done it justice. This is an indie movie. I guarantee this was written by a graduate student on their laptop at 2 am. And that's what gives this movie life. Its gritty and rough around the edges. It's not perfect but it's not trying to be. It's an exactly what I imagine when I think: indie movie. I did not go into this movie expecting professional, Oscar winning performances or dialog. Parts of the plot felt rushed and unclear, while other times it felt like it dragged and stumbled. But, nevertheless, it kept me invested and anxiously waiting for an ending. Safe House 1618 took a page from Jarhead, utilizing the monotony of everyday life to show the consequences of boredom and Cabin Fever. The longer these characters are stuck in this new reality, spending scenes achieving nothing, the more we--the viewer--become more uncomfortable. Our own boredom mirrors the characters. We want so badly for something to happen, that when it finally does, it's almost disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I loved the ending, but it was underwhelming. Overall, 8/10.

All I experienced was horrible acting choppy scenes boringness and a lot of "that makes no sense" parts😅had good potential but honestly by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I wish I would have listened to my early thoughts and just turned this damn movie off. Big waste of time.

An absolutely horrible movie with no story, horrible dialogue, college level acting and so much wasting of time. Scenes of several minutes just wasted on a character lying down, turning and some song in the background. There is no plot. There is just nothing there to watch. Amateur hour at its most amateur. I'm writing this as I watch this never ending boredom fest.
