    If I Die Before I Wake

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137827/

    So I remember seeing this a long time ago and then rewatching it in like, 2005 or something. It's a pretty good flick I thought in the whole intruder-horror subgenre.
    From Netflix: When Daryl (Muse Watson), T.J. (Michael McCleery) and Billy (Anthony Nicosia) break into a suburban house one night and hold its occupants hostage, they're unaware that the 16-year-old daughter, LoriBeth (Stephanie Jones), is hiding in the house. As the thugs torture the family, LoriBeth begins to practice her own brand of terror on the assailants, turning the tables in this chilling psychological thriller.

    Basically the first half of Intensity, but with its differences. What did you guys think of it?

    I actually like this movie a lot. The tension is great throughout the first half. The second half gets a little hokey at times...mostly due to Muse Watson's weird performance, but overall it's a very entertaining movie.

    It's an ok flick, very forgettable though.

    It's weird. Because I remember some scenes really well, and all the rest just kind of fades from my memory even though I've seen it twice. I rarely have that problem with movies I've seen once.

    I know what you mean. The only thing I really remember from this movie is someone getting their face put through a glass shower door, other than that I can only recall that I thought it wasn't too bad of a flick.

    SPOILER!

    The one thing I have always remembered and to me was one of the most suspensful scenes I've seen in a horror movie, was when she was trying to use chatrooms to get help but had to dial-up connect to the internet. I just knew personally how loud that shit sounded when you were trying to be quiet lol and it was so creepy to me for some reason.

    I love the scenes with her hiding her little sister everywhere. The heroine in this movie does a great job. Very believable. Not horror-y and schlock at all.
