Walled In (2009)

 

I have never came across a movie with a plot like this one. With the name being walled in, I was preparing to see some crazy restrained shit to go down. Starring Mischa Barton who plays the lead role of a woman who engineers demolitions who just graduated college. With the success of her first demolition she prove herself worthy to become a partner in her father’s business.  Well thanks dad for fucking giving me a building that has a completely wrong blue print because the architect didn’t want anybody else know that he put dead bodies inside the walls.  The building  is huge and in the middle of bumble fuck. Nothing else is near or around. As always in every horror movie, the girl is crazy nosey during her stay at the building and goes against the rules that were first given to her when she arrives. Don’t go on the 8th floor, or the roof and no smoking. She breaks em all, even the smoking.  The caretaker is a woman who’s expression looks totally the same because of all the damn botox in her cheeks and lips, and well her entire face. Her son is just as an oddball as her as he develops an obsessive crush on the lead character. His only friend is a dog, but I don’t blame him. What else is there to do in the middle of fuckin nowhere? The kid assists Mischa by stealing books from a neighbor.

 

mother and son, She Can't move her face!!

 These books contain information regarding the architect and his crazy weird ideas about ancient rituals. As they explore the building they find the architects hideout and a drawing of his face on a wall and trust me, he’s not a good looking dude. At this point the movie is halfway through and I’m still waiting for something to show up and scare the shit out of me. The film does nothing for me until more than halfway through where the boy tricks the leading lady to fall down a hole in the middle of the building that explains why the blueprint is so off. Guess what, there’s a dude down in that hole and its the supposed dead architect. He’s alive and uglier than his drawing on the wall. Skinny, dirty , cut and mad brolic. Guess there’s nothing else to do but workout when you’re stuck in a hole. The boy is a skeeming little fucker who promises to keep them alive if they do what they say like kiss and dance. he’s nice enough to leave the hole open at the top so that they can get some sunlight. aww, isn’t that sweet? It’s like a nicer version of The Ring. About 20 mins left in the film I’m wondering when this demolition crew is gonna show up to blow shit up. They show up eventually and the mother and son plan to leave the two in hole to die but the kid is so in love he goes back to rescue her! During all of this the girl kills the architect because he asks her to as he finishes digging a hole which becomes his tomb as it fills with cement.

Oh, is that where I left my daughter? Oops...

 

They boy who I should have mentioned that his name is Jimmy opens the hole and falls to his death and dies next to the love of his life. The demolition crew runs in after the boy, because they don’t want to have little boy body parts raining all over the place. They see the girl laying there and they pick her up and take her to the hospital. Yay happy ending. Where the hell was the horror?! The most violent scene is the girl killing the architect or the dead dog earlier in the film. What made me watch the movie was that it started off pretty damn sick with a scene of that little girl getting buried alive with cement but…then it goes downhill from there.  I don’t recommend it, but if you think the way that I do. I’ll watch it anyway because I want to analyze it for myself. Till next time…
