Do you want something that will make you laugh your ass off? But also have scary and unsettling scenes? Suspense? Twisted humor that you love while your friends may not understand why that joke was funny? Than this show is probably going to be your new favorite thing.

Holy cow is this show good. I'm not going to spoil with specifics except to say this show will not go in a direction that you expect, and just when you think you know where it's going, it will spin you around, then around again. This show is brilliant. Just don't expect to laugh in every episode, or be scared in every episode, the show keeps changing and you have to be willing to be patient and be in for the ride.

I have so much respect for this cast and writers. They really made something amazing. This is a show I can easily keep in the background. So many favorite scenes and choice moments and parts.

Definitely give it a try. I was shocked that such a good show I hadn't even heard about once. We just gave it a shot on the HBO streaming stuff and were blown away. No one had even ever mentioned it to us and it deserves more recognition.

And I'm noticing I can't find favorite scenes on youtube? Is this intentional? Maybe they are being taken down from copywright but many favorite scenes really should be there to rewatch, or maybe fans haven't put them up yet. There are at least 10 parts that really should be easy to find and loop. The scenes are that good.

I'm gonna rate it a 9.

Pros:

1)Good use of gore 2)good storytelling (mostly) 3)Good character development 4)Good surprises

Cons:

1)Stupid and weird at times and maybe not in a good way 2)Parts of movie seem long and pointless

The movie was pretty good fun and awesome scenery and a good use of a script and story. I liked the characters and found myself enjoying it and having fun mostly but some stuff just seems unnecessary drawn out and not interesting but for the most part it is a good ride and I love independent films that can give us a good ride so for that it gets a 9. It would have gotten 10 but I felt there was a little room for it to be better. This movie probably would have done well with cutting a little more out of it.

This movie is dark and gruesome. Don't watch if you can't handle some grizzly surprises. Maybe better if you can see the humor in dark films.

I have watched many jail shows and documentaries and I am walking away from this thinking this might actually be the best.

It shows various viewpoints of people who when they were young committed a murder. Some seem to feel a lot of guilt, some don't seem to. It shows the way they think about it, what they tried to do, how they tried to get away with it.

It raises questions about whether or not young people really understand consequences to their actions and if life without parole is actually right for them.

It also might just make people upset and mad. It depends what you take away from this. But to me it is an interesting psychological study.

I saw this after watching Nerve and 13 Sins due to similar concepts.

For different reasons this one I loved and hated at the same time.

I love the concept. It's simpler then other films like this. Someone is paying people for dares and... that's all I'll say.

The acting and writing is well done.

I like the indie and original film style.

However I will say I ended up feeling terrible about picking this to watch with a sensitive significant others and it just got too dark for my taste.

I have watched, and maybe looked away from parts, of many horror movies, depending on what it was.

This just got too gross for me and I regretted watching it. Next time I come across something this sick I am using the fast forward button.

I basically watched this because it looked intriguing on Netflix streaming and Norman Reedus is in it. I didn't know anything else about it.

This isn't like most other films. A slow drama, dialogue based, periods of time go by and we don't know how long. It just shows clips of things, like real life, but slow and atmospheric, kind of like how real life is.

The acting and writing was well done. I enjoyed the performances. If you are a sucker for indie stuff like me that is done differently and well and not traditional Hollywood garbage then this may be up your alley.

If you are looking for something fast or action packed then this is not the film for you.

But I enjoyed it a lot.

I saw this film because it was recommended after seeing Nerve, due to a similar concept.

Acting is good. Writing is good. Seeing Tara from True Blood in it was awesome and she had great chemistry with the main character which was nice. It was great to see her in a different role.

I like films like this because it tells a good story.

I would love to see more films like this but as far as I know Nerve and Cheap Thrills are the only similar ones.

Great ride, dark, good, feels more like real life then other fantasy films.

I watched this movie out of a morbid curiosity. This is not something I understand, not do I think it is something to be proud of.

That being said it did help me understand the psychological nature of these people. They are quite odd in what they do and how obsessed they get. I don't think it is something good.

One telling part was when they got into steroid use and only one guy was willing to talk about it, and a woman who was not a bodybuilder. It is such a taboo topic that nearly all of them would not touch the subject.

If steroid use is what assists them in getting that far, shouldn't we talk about it? But they know it is bad and harmful at the same time and people feel like it is cheating doing it, so it is avoided.

One thing particularly strange is how their back muscles stand out so much and this is supposed to be a good thing. It looks so unnatural. They make them brown so their muscles stand out too.

Some characters I was interested in a lot more then others. I would have liked to have seen more about their personal lives.

It wasn't a bad documentary, although I felt it could have been more interesting then it was. I didn't find the narration good either.

Good look into the lives of bodybuilders if you want one, but this is more about wanting to do their silly muscle show thing and what it took to get there. I would have been more interested in their personal lives and psychological aspects.

I heard about this movie on Facebook and needed to see it right away. Something about it and the description just drew me in, and my curiosity just made me jump on it.

A movie from different angles of people who have their own cameras is definitely an interesting way of visually seeing the movie. There are other movies that do this extremely effectively too, like End of Watch the cop movie.

The story was fantastic and I felt it made a lot of great points. It will certainly speak to the bullied about what it feels like to be alone and not feel like they can talk to anyone about it and that no one could understand it.

It is a dark movie. It was not afraid to go to some surprisingly dark places. Maybe even too dark for me at times. There were parts troubling enough that I had to look away.

I would recommend this movie, but be warned that it is troubling and may not go the directions that you want it to.

The story is great. I enjoyed the acting. I wanted to like it more then I did. I kept finding excuses to pause and play with my phone. The pacing just seems off somehow.

I would be interested, then there would be a long boring dialogue scene. I love dialogue and even "dialogue movies" but there were scenes that just felt like they stood still where nothing was really happening.

Not every movie needs to be action packed but the story at least needs to feel like it is moving. There are parts of this that didn't feel like it moved at all. I wouldn't even say good character development were in those parts.

That being said for the most part I enjoyed the film so it gets an 8 to me. It didn't make me laugh. Something more serious for Steve to do and I can respect that, and it was a story worth telling.

I watched this film alone. I actually found myself yelling stuff at the screen. Something I never do. I was really into it.

Good dramas are like this. Keep you rooting for certain characters. The two sisters were great characters and I rooted for them the whole movie.

The story is in large part about an abusive boyfriend and the issues that it entails. The story and acting were top notch with great performances. I never had an issue with the acting.

I wonder how much this cost to make. It is a pretty simple story but so well executed. The best kind of story is simple but done well. If you like dramas and this type of story I would recommend.

In a world of pretty forgettable horror films this is one that stood out and sustained my interest. Without spoiling the movie I want to say that it was psychological as well spooky. Good unexpected turns, characters I actually can care about and not boring forgettable ones, and a story worth telling. All of which are refreshing in the horror genre. I do wish more films was like this one.

The outfits for the villains was great too and one of the reasons this film has stayed in my head long after I watched it. I never forgot this one.

The scenery is good too. A house with some forest around it does well for a horror movie.

This movie seemed edited or directed weird. It was too fast paced at times to the point of sloppy where I couldn't focus on what was going on. It was pretty rushed. It made it hard for me to care about about the characters or really care about the story at all.

I wanted to like it, but by making the characters annoying and unlikable and making the story rushed or non existent, it made it hard to care about much of anything. The acting could have been better too.

I'm giving it 5 points since I did bother to finish it and was compelled enough to do so, but that doesn't mean that I really enjoyed it like I could have.

It's too bad because the story was something I normally would like in a way. It seemed original and different, but the execution just felt all wrong.

I enjoyed this movie a lot, and I thought it was a great take on how people would behave when confronted with highly unusual circumstances. The storytelling and writing I enjoyed quite a lot. The one thing I thought could have had an improvement was the acting, which could have been a bit better.

I am seeing this movie is marked as 1996. What's weird is that I thought this movie could have been in the 80's or older. The characters just sort of acted... odd like that. It's hard to explain. Maybe wooden at times. If older movies seem a little cheesy that way, this movie may have been a little that way.

I thought they did a good job with what they did with a fantastic story though. Perhaps the main guy could have been cast a little better.

I'm not exactly sure what this movie was trying to accomplish or set out to do. If it was a story they wanted to tell, there wasn't that much of one. If it was fight scenes and action, the fighting could have been a lot better and more realistic.

One thing the movie does well is the cinematography. The way things look can be breathtaking in a lot of scenes. If they wanted the unique look, they had that. If they wanted obnoxious bad guys you wanted to see die, they had that too.

"Final Girl" implies a fight to the finish and excitement. I don't know. This movie kind of does that but it is not really what I had in mind.

This movie made me a huge fan of Tyler Labine. Never have I seen such a lovable character in a movie before. Have I? I really can't think of a time. Made me want to hug him or be friends with him or something.

This movie is hilarious with off the wall ridiculous humor. It stayed interesting throughout and had a lot of unexpected things. Not your average horror, or comedy, or both, whatever you would call it. Interesting hybrid.

I absolutely would recommend it and easily one I could probably watch over and over. Have not seen it again yet. Now I will have to see more of Tyler Labine's work. He is hilarious and a blast.

How great it was getting a glimpse into his life and career and the stepping stones of it. How great that guest starring in Happy Days led to his own show! Or that he visited the troops to do stand up in Afghanistan so much! Love that they let him improvise so many of his lines for the genie in Aladdin!

I love stories of seeing how careers built over time and this was wonderful. What an amazing man. I so wish I could have met him.

One down side is not much time spent on his movies but they had limited time with this and did what they could which I appreciated. I am glad one that made it in was my favorite, Mrs. Doubtfire.

I love this kind of movie and wish more could be like it. A good story and writing with a flawed main character who makes mistakes. Good use of music and with an atmosphere I could just sink into. It didn't glamorize anything. Things were what they were. I dig the realistic approach.

Nicolas plays a great character and loved all his family members as well. Love the kind of movie it is since it is a comedy but not necessarily an obvious one, but tons of stuff I laughed at.

Has sort of a dry weird sense of humor throughout and I wish I could see him do more movies like that. It works well for him.

Loved the characters and story very much. This little destructive boy is amazing and he is a great actor.

Loved the use of directing and color as well.

I have not seen a lot of films with strong moms being a core concept but this is a good one.

Though I did not cry it did get to me and make me sad.

Love the pig so much and all of the scenes with the boy. His imagination is fantastic too and the animation is amazing for those scenes.

Good drama because it is funny effective but does not pull punches. Things are treated as realistic and not glamorous.

I re-watched Nightcrawler and found it to be a super solid film on its second viewing. Even one of my favorites along with Jake's other film End of Watch.

The story to Nightcrawler is fantastic, running around trying to get news footage. It is not a predictable or normal route for a story to go but it is fantastic at every moment of it. Love the writing and characters too.

Honestly there is not a dull moment of this one to me. Not even at the beginning when the story has not gotten that interesting yet, even those scenes are good and well acted.

I wish we had more movies that felt as original as this.

Love mind bending movies that make you think, and I must say this is one of the better ones I have seen lately and I am glad that I did.

The writing and story was top notch, kept us guessing, and intriguing. I never had any issue with the acting and it drew me in very well.

This starts off looking like it will be a traditional horror movie. Believe me it's not. At least not anything like any films I have seen.

Kudos and props for originality, and also being able to tell a well told story. I do hope that this team makes more films, and they have more stories up their sleeves to tell.

It has also love the kinds of movies that show young people and how they behave, including how men act around each other. It makes for great fun.

I like that this movie is not like other horror films. Not the standard wearing a mask type, this is about gold old fashioned revenge and mystery.

As a result we get a story that feels more human and grounded, but also interesting and wanting to get to the bottom of it.

Sometimes people aren't nice to people in real life, and sometimes that can come with devastating consequences. I feel this movie explores that well.

Never had an issue with any acting or writing. I felt the story was well told.

This is UK movie so American's like me may find certain words silly. We have different uses for words.

First person movies are great and I have not seen many. This movie handles it really well. Feels like a first person shooter video game and also is very hectic and crazy like one.

The villain is well done and interesting, and the story may seem like a headache for those that don't like this type of film but for me it was fantastic. I wanted to see it again right away, but haven't yet.

I hope we get more first person movies like this. It definitely looks like something that should be explored more.

It is pretty violent so if that is not your cup of tea I'm not sure this is for you.

I can't believe I never heard of this movie. I only found out about it because it was at a gas station for 3.99 brand new. I did not even know what it was. It was actually my husband that said it would be funny. We have a DVD player and TV in the car, so I got it and away we go.

This movie is hilarious! It was so funny. I didn't like it at first since it started slow. Quickly it grew on me. Within 10 minutes it was the best movie ever! I laughed like crazy throughout.

So many good one liners in this movie. Fun lines, twisted funny, what a hilarious character. I have seen movies of a spy not being good where it is not done that well. It is a good concept but hard to execute. This movie does it perfectly. He is terrible and it is hilarious. He is a ridiculous person and his antics were always entertaining. A bummer this movie flopped in theaters. It deserved better.

I am surprised Ryan Philippe was involved. He is great.

I had heard about this movie before seeing it. I was aware all of 6 kids were recasted, I was not aware that Alice also was. The two parents remain the same and that is all.

It really is a sequel to "a very brady sequel" and we have to just go along with the recasts. The last film they were looking like college students in high school, so I didn't mind. The recasts do the job well and I forgot about it quickly. Some of the run on jokes are still there and it is clearly a sequel. The new people do the job well, I actually found the little girl a lot funnier this time around.

In fact there was one joke with her that made me laugh my butt off, way harder then I had in the previous 2 movies actually. I won't spoil it, but it has something to do with trophies. I wonder if anyone else finds it as funny as I do.

I had expected to hate this movie with everything said about it. To my surprise, I loved it. I even would call it my favorite of the 3. It was funny and entertaining. It also fixed something which had bugged me about the other films. It gave balance to the main characters better. A disproportionate amount of time was going to the oldest boy Greg and the oldest and middle girls Marcia and Jan in the last films. The other 3 were mostly ignored or just background.

Anyway don't listen to what everyone else says about this movie. Try it for yourself. I got it as a 4 pack cheap at Walmart and was glad I enjoyed it so much. The 4th film was Growing Up Brady.

What I have noticed about UK films is they are quite a bit different then US films, less big effects, more realistic, etc. The movie never turns out how I think it will and ends up as something else.

What we have here is a suspenseful movie about a house being burglarized. It was well acted and suspenseful. I felt the writing maybe could have been a bit better but it was what it was. I guess I had hoped it would scare me more then it did but it wasn't bad.

I like films with a strong female character and this seems to fit that description well, although she is younger then women we usually see as the strong roles, but it works. It shows how someone would behave if they become part of a big scary situation.

I enjoyed it but feel people should come in with realistic expectations. This invites comparison to The Purge which I felt was a misfire, and not really enjoyable at all. This film however takes a house invasion and is able to keep suspense and interest with it, which I don't consider an easy task.
