the new blood-soaked home-invasion thriller, would likely land on the bottom half of a double bill, a “B” movie throwback updated with extreme violence for hard-core fans who like to see faces flattened and eyes pop out. On its own terms it is perversely entertaining if this is your bag, but don’t mistake that with being any good.
Anyway, the home is invaded by a group of prison escapees who we soon learn are there to retrieve a mysterious key that supposedly will unlock everything they have dreamed up during their stint in the Big House. It is never explained exactly what it opens, but Becky becomes suspect No. 1 as they rampage the house and hold the others hostage. Becky, meanwhile, had already retreated to her treehouse with one of the dogs, sulking about her whole family situation.
Murnion and Milott raise the stakes and try to overcome the by-the-numbers plotting by going all gross-out on us, particularly in a scene where Dominick performs his own eye surgery, and another involving a decapitation and sports vehicle facial just to rub it in so to speak. Give these helmers credit for some inventive gore, especially in a thriller genre piece like this, which doesn’t fall into the horror category.
