4Closed (2013)

Lack of good storyline.

Just perfect...

Better Late Then Never

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

4CLOSED is a not-bad psycho thriller from The Asylum, and thankfully one of their movies that wasn't made to rip-off a Hollywood blockbuster; it's much more interesting and fresher as a result. The slim storyline tries to be up to date with the times by featuring a homeowner who loses his home to foreclosure but refuses to get out when the new owners show up. The film is predictable and could have been made twenty years ago; there's absolutely nothing that happens that you won't have seen done elsewhere. However, I did like the cast members who bring something extra to the story. Marlee Matlin's character's deafness is an unusual and sympathetic touch, while James Denton brings his Mr. Nice family guy persona across from DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. SCREAM's Jamie Kennedy isn't imposing at all as the villain, but he is fun, and Paul Sorvino shows up in a small role.

usually all TV movies will be crap. But not this one. Watched it without any expectations. but a little prejudice was there. thought it would be a wastage of time. but it was not. you can suggest this movie to your Friends also. It is an average movie. But when considering TV movies, it is better. I have to agree on one thing. They could have done much better. it was such a thriller story. if they have tried, it could be a hit. There was much more scope for some creative scenes horrific moves. the crew didn't tried it. One thing I didn't like is the villain appearance. They should have taken care of his costume in a better way. The current appearance is not much weird. If he was much more weird..... Oh man.... It could be an awesome movie.

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, also comedy villain quality sometimes), but are ill-served by the lack of tension and suspense in the atmosphere and script, half-baked 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 hurried-looking. 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. 3/10 Bethany Cox

It was amazing watching so many ridiculous scenes in this movie. Right from the start the guy starts killing people that just "disappear" from the story line like they never happened. When you watch a movie you expect to people react to situations just like you would, these people reacted like they were mentally challenged. You spend your whole time thinking: why didn't they do this or that, why can't they tell why all this is happening to them? I mean, you your whole bank account disappear with all kind of strange charges couldn't your first thought would be to call or go to the bank? Nope, they just start arguing about his "gambling" and "drinking" habits. Anyway i just finished watching since i had it taped and was able to fast forward at the end.
