So yeah, I'd been really excited for this for a loooong time and it didn't live up :( I DO think everyone was likeable (Though, honestly, only one character was remotely intelligent and/or deserving to make it though the entire movie alive lol) for the most part. The cast was amazing too. Ian > Jenna > Michael > Renee I think. Renee would be higher than Michael, but she turns into a major-league BITCH at times when she's trapped in the sauna. And not in a good, loving, entertaining why. Jenna was a prtty stereotypical horror heroine with an interesting concept that ultimately goes nowhere. I don't think she had all that much to her at all. I like her because Scout's amazing. Michael's your drunk, sorta douchey but overall likeable boyfriend. I think he was likeable despite not being a main focus. Ian was without a doubt the best (and most intelligent) character <3 It was definitely nice to see Travis play a likeable guy instead of a douchebag too I think. Definitely his best character and performance (Whereas I think this is Scout's 2nd worst, ahead of AFD... and that's not saying much. She truly had NOTHING to work with aside from useless, pointless, wasted potential)

It takes the movie a bit too long to get going as well IMO. It's like.. 25-30 minutes before they become trapped in the sauna and, for some reason, it just ISN'T racking up the tension or panic in the way it should be =U I think it may be because Jenna and Renee act like morons? (well, Jenna does nothing then acts like a moron. Renee acts like a realistic but moronic bitch) It was just... incredibly frustrating.

I also think that-

The ending just kinda.. falls apart. Like.. the last 20-30 minutes had me going (ono)
6.5-7 during the beginning hour. Maybe a 7.5
4.5 during the ending.. maybe a 2 or 3 IMO
6-6.5 overall =U

Just finished this<3.
I really liked it for the most part. It had a somewhat slow beginning and the explanation of some things was a tad forced and suckish, but the sauna scenes were intense, the acting was good for the most part, it had three very familiar faces (Scout, Tyler, Travis) which was a plus. The mini-twist at the end kind of annoyed me but didnt destroy the entire film, though I wish itd been a bit different. For the most part the whole movie was satisfying and Im just relieved that it didnt end up being a case of it

or something stupid and ridiculous and overdone like that. I was totally surprised that

and it was a nice change from the usual. Scout was FANTASTIC as Jenna, though Jenna doesn't even begin to compete with RZH Laurie when it comes to being a fleshed out, super developed character. This makes me not want to go to a sauna, honestly. Lol. I identified with those trapped in it cuz erm...living in Florida with temperatures that are usually over 80-100 degrees in the spring, summer and winter seasons I often feel like I'm melting from the inside out LOOOOL.
7-7.5/10

Thanks Repo for making me expect to hate this film, since I expected it to be bad, I guess it helped me like it more, haha.
