He's teamed up with Maika Monroe as a couple of small-time thieves who break into a house and end up in an unfortunate encounter. The concept is certainly compelling, but the continuous neurotic dialogue (even though probably intentional) is just irritating. Even though the couple is supposed to be pretty dumb, their performances lack anything to make them amusingly charming. To make matters worse, there are so many missed opportunities, both in their plight and in the film's potential. I kept wanting to like it, but the profusion of dumb twists and unreconciled developments keep it from developing the tension that's promised.… Expand

When their car dies after a gas station robbery, they break into a nearby house looking for a new set of wheels. What they find instead is a dark secret, and a sweet-as-pie pair of homeowners who will do anything to keep it from getting out. Villains is a short, sweet and too the point movie with obvious twists and turns but highly likable characters… Expand

Strong performances by the cast are overshadowed by the fact that the plot that makes little sense, is filled with needless plot twists and fails to capitalise on the interesting premise. I wanted to like this one but the writing really tanked it.

While this was a pretty fun film for the most part, I feel like they held back at many key points of the storyline where they didn’t need to show restraint. I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing.

I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing. It left it not that gory, for the most part, when considering the subject matter. Because of this I think it opens itself up to more people who might want to watch it. But on the other hand, it felt kind of bland as it didn’t push the envelope. It’s very dark and has some unsettling moments, but you could see where things were heading for the most part leaving me prepared and not shocked or offended. I’m not sure that’s what the film makers intended with this movie. Especially with such rich characters choices from 4 good actors who put on great performances. I think it’s worth a watch just to see and hear some of Jeffery Donovan’s performance. Not a must see, but it entertained for an hour and a half.… Expand

They find a house in the forest. There is no one at home. They go inside to steal the fuel of the car in the garage of the house and find a little girl chained by her feet in the basement. Meanwhile, the owners of the house come.

I think the host man in the movie is the most sympathetic character. The man's wife is a different annoyance, and the young lovers are not sympathetic because they are not innocent. The movie is mediocre and boring and absurd in places.

There is sexuality in the film, but no nudity.… Expand

The performances of the cast were all great. Sadly I can't say the same for the movie as a whole.

Sadly I can't say the same for the movie as a whole. I can't recommend to watch this movie, the writing is extremely bland, characters are dumber than a bag of rocks, and things only happen to serve the plot. Each scene feels disconnected from the last, and characters seem to do impossible things or nothing at all.… Expand

Worth watching. Weird, not overly gore filled, and solid acting. Plot could’ve used some more time on the burner to flush it out. Jeffrey Donovan is underrated and often put down as an actor and I think it’s unwarranted.
