Well, Corbin Bernsen did a really good job, so he deserves credit where credit is do. He was legitimately creepy when he needed to be, and that came as a shock because that isn't really the kind of role that I know him from. To see him pull it off so well was a pleasure to watch. However, the movie came short of what it could have been. If it had been made in the 70s it would have been great. Had it been made in the 80s, it would have been great. But, it was made in the 2010s and because of that it ind of looses sight of any real plot and instead just becomes senseless violence. 30 or 40 years ago, the violence would have had more of a story behind it. It would have been blunt, but it would have served the story better. It got to the point where the violence stopped serving the story and became violence for gore and shock and, honestly, that's now what I expected when I sat down to watch the movie. I expected a tense thriller and halfway through it turned into Saw and anything thrilling or tense kind of vanished.

69/100 A reclusive, retired plastic surgeon, played with a whole new level of creepy by Corben Bernson, finds a new Russian wife, complete with a young daughter, online. I wasn't expecting much as I figured it was going to generally be something about abuse. Boy was I wrong! The insidious nature of the film, with a pinch of the supernatural, keeps the viewer uncomfortable without revealing what's really going on until just the right moment. Then things get ugly. The last half hour of this film is a pure adrenaline, high octane slaughter fest I never saw coming. Awesome! -- DrNostromo.com
