Horror can and will be used because it is one of the "easiest" and most financially easy genre to make a movie for. Even more so nowadays, with technical advancement and all that. Now I have seen worse movies than this, but this does not give any merit to this "Saw ripoff".
You may like to play a game, you may like or have a heart for low budget movies (I've seen at least one review where the person writing very clearly gave this quite a break) - but I've got to call it like I see it. This has acting that some might rightfully dispute as such, a script and characters that contradict themselves every other minute and a twist that will not excite anybody - or anyone will care for it... Nothing much to see here and not really many positive things to say about it either apart from this having an overall neat idea - not original and unfortunately not mappedd out to a degree this could actually sum up to anything watchable

Bury it
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
Six pretentious teens whose demise I cheered on are somehow taken from a party and buried at various locations around the city. Brie (Alice Darling) a seventh teen is tasked with locating them and using the GPS feature on the phone wasn't her first choice.
They attempted to create characters for the teens as a group and it didn't come off well. I didn't care for them. Not only were the teens pretentious, the whole plot seemed fake, more so than a masked inbred running around with a chainsaw that never has a chain jump, killing teens that had sex. Nothing like watching teens in a box on a smart phone talking to each, saying, "I see a box." Could it get any more boring? Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
When good times go bad...
Essentially there was nothing thrilling or scary about this movie. "6 Plots" was more like an Australian daytime TV show prolonged and exposed to a Halloween theme.
The story is about a group of seven youngsters, all friends, who live life carefree and partying. One party goes awry, and six out of the seven wake up encased in boxes, unable to escape, while the seventh is free and given a chance to save her six friends before they meet their untimely demise. It is a race against time with a mysterious killer always being one step ahead.
There wasn't any real feeling of dread or fear throughout the movie, but still, director Leigh Sheehan did try hard enough.
Perhaps it was the utter lack of interest that mostly all characters in the movie were shrouded in that ultimately led me to stop trying to get into it. The characters were incredibly two-dimensional and weren't really showing characteristics, having any kind of personal quirks, or actually coming off as anything but hollow, wooden dummies put on display in a pseudo-horror movie.
I will say that the acting on most accounts was good enough, not great mind you, but good enough to make the movie watchable. Well, all except the teenager with the 'helmet-hair'. Wow, he was just atrocious.
"6 Plots" seems something like a horror movie for teenagers, who wants to watch something pseudo-scary without actually venturing into the proper horror genre. And as an avid fan of the horror genre for more than 25 years, then to me "6 Plots" was uneventful, boring, anything but scary, and basically just well below mediocrity.
This amounts to a mere 3 out of 10 stars rating here, and even then I feel like I am being generous.
