The Tower

I envy the colleagues here who’ve enjoyed this low-budget chase in a tower. I like monsters in horror films, and I also like derelict buildings, but this one didn’t make it for me. It was an utterly unscary stroll around a carousel of terrors with a monster jumping out at every corner. You can appreciate the decent make-up, but I can’t say I felt even a hint of tension or atmosphere. The script is almost non-existent and the performances not only are weak, but also downright irritating. Compared to the low-budget Irish-British production Citadel, this tower comes out as a clear loser. And that’s not due to financing, but due to its inability to tell a story and the important fact that it’s just a monotonous series of gimmicks. For me it feels like 1 star, I’m giving it the second one out of goodwill for the make-up. But I understand the others. It reminded me of that time when at a certain Asian restaurant I spent about 120 crowns on a “fried ice-cream fruit mix” and then I tried to convince myself that it was actually quite good, strange and untraditional. But it wasn’t. It was inedible, actually. (14.03.2014)

There could not be a more accurate definition of the word "Shit". This is a very bad movie, in every way. The cheapness and amateurish look is staring at us from the first minute, and someone like me, who revels in aesthetics, visuals, and looks in general, not just movies, is simply disgusted by this film. I admit that some of the make-up effects were good, but they were minimal. Those expecting carnage will be disappointed, this is more mystery fantasy with a biblical feel that drags like a gargoyle on a wall. For me, unsatisfying and boring. I wouldn't give a euro for this film. (13.03.2014)
