        Danny Glover and Cary Elwes star in this deranged movie about a psychotic who puts his victims in deadly situations to make them "appreciate" life more. He makes them perform inhuman acts on themselves or a second victim within a time limit. If the task is performed, they are let go, if not, they are brutally killed. The previews make the movie seem a lot more gruesome then it actually is. As compared to other horror films, it could be much scarier. The plot and storyline are very well developed, and the relationships between characters are frighteningly realistic. The camera work and special effects enhance the movie and it's overall sense of realism, as does the haunting music. The majority of the film is mind games with the characters. I would have rather seen more action and thrills. The movie was a whole entertaining and kept the viewer's attention. I do recommend this movie.
