Review
There is worse out there than 4Closed and it is not quite as terrible as what the first reviewer says but that is not to say much in 4Closed's favour because there was some potential there that wasn't explored very well. Malee Matlin and James Denton are decent there are moments of creepy atmosphere and 4Closed also knows what it wants to be and what it wants to do and doesn't try to go beyond that. Unfortunately that was also a shortcoming in doing that everything becomes very simplistic and without that much soul. The actors do make an effort though Christine DeRosa's acting was rather forced and Jamie Kennedy doesn't really convince as a psychopathic creep(not charismatic enough and in a way too nice) but are illserved by the lack of tension and suspense in the atmosphere and script halfbaked characters and a complete lack of surprises. Not to mention a story so painfully obvious and when it is devoid of the above things the whole movie just feels flabby. The look of the movie is unappealing not quite amateurish but rather drab and hurriedlooking. For the type of movie 4Closed it's somewhat appropriate but when there's very little interesting elsewhere it just doesn't appeal. Audibly there's no better news it's generic in scoring and the sound has a tendency to be muddied. All in all could have been much more a few redeeming qualities here and there but generally it's unexciting predictable underwritten simplistic and largely underwhelming in atmosphere and just fails to entertain really. 310 Bethany Cox
