    Locked

    ★★★½

    Locked is extremely claustrophobic with creative cinematography. Bill Skarsgård’s performance is full of interesting choices and holds your attention, even though he is on screen 90 percent of the movie. Anthony Hopkins, naturally, chews up the scenery as a villain you love to hate. Locked is an engaging flick with stellar performances and cinematography.

    ★★½

    Ash adds nothing new to the genre. The lead actress, along with most of the cast, failed to hold my attention, but I don’t think that is the fault of the actors rather the director. The effects are cheesy, and Flying Lotus seemed more focused on the visuals and technical elements rather than the performances. The set design is unclear, making it hard to tell where the characters are at in the location at times. However, the strong third act left me not too disappointed.

    The dialogue is terrible. The image is dark and out of focus, making it hard to connect to the characters. The characters are unlikable, making the gore and horrible kills ineffective. 

    There’s a difference between wanting a character to die because the audience member hates them, and wanting a character to die because you want the movie to be over. The latter is this movie…

    However, the last 30 minutes is entertaining. 

    Even if this is a grind house movie,…
