Editorial Reviews

You're trapped in the dark elevator of a deserted building with two strangers on a hot August afternoon, with a dire need to be somewhere else. Things couldn't get any worse...unless one of you is a psychopathic serial killer. Amber Tamblyn (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, TV's Joan of Arcadia) and Aidan Gillen (The Low Down, TV's The Wire) star in this riveting thriller about what happens when escalating hostility, fear and desperation turn people into vicious, caged animals.

The movie Blackout is a movie that may be watched number of times. The movie does have some shocker which makes it to watch and not feel sorry. I enjoyed the beginning also end unless if something changes.

Unsatisfying

Kind of interesting, but not very exciting. Certain scenes with Aidan Gillen were really hot, but overall the movie was disappointing. If you like Gillen, Wake Wood and the TV show Identity are better.

I purchased a used DVD that skipped a lot and they refunded my money without askig me to return the product. With used items I know damage can sometimes be expected but very pleased that they understand. I would order from them again.

I'm a huge horror fan, but this movie is really horrible! Please don't waste your time and money on this movie. I know you can definitely find something better to watch.

You can't change fate! Three lives come together on an elevator...3 strangers...destiny. All three are faced with deadlines...all three have no way out. A good thriller...4 stars!

Thriller not Horror

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2010

Firstly, this is not a horror film, it is a thriller. Do not expect blood and gore, this is more chilling and makes you think about what you would do if you were to find yourself stuck in a lift with two other strangers. As other reviews state the movie does move along at quite a slow pace, but it is intriguing. I'd say rent this one, its worth a watch, but one you may not want to add to your collection.

Wir haben den Film zu dritt geschaut,keiner kannte ihn,am Ende waren wir aber alle zufrieden.
Die Schauspieler spielen ihre Rollen gut und ich fand den Film zu keiner Zeit billig gemacht...die Rückblenden vermitteln einen guten Einblick in die Vorgeschichte der Charaktere und auch wenn der Raum im Fahrstuhl beengt ist,es bleibt Platz für Spannung.

Si vous êtes fan d'Amber Tamblyn.

J'ai acheté ce dvd parce que je suis fan d'Amber Tamblyn.
Je n'ai pas été déçu par sa performance d'actrice et rien que cela justifie de visionner ce film selon moi.
Pour le reste, j'espérais une histoire plus angoissante et des personnages plus développés mais malheureusement ce n'est pas vraiment le cas.
C'est un petit film qui se laisse regarder mais qui ne restera pas dans les annales.
A réserver aux fans d'Amber Tamblyn.

J'espère que mon avis vous aura été utile. Si c'est le cas, n'hésitez pas à cliquer sur le bouton 'Oui' en-dessous, cela m'encouragera à continuer à donner mon avis. Merci.
