It's a fair premise. I think the technical craft is suitable, including blood effects. The cast is fine, and the music is swell. Costume design, hair, makeup, and all the little details that movies are made of are adequate.

So what?

The movie is well made. If this is the kind of horror flick you enjoy, then dig in, I suppose. But aside from a couple good ideas in the screenplay, what I see is a feature that's wholly unremarkable, and not meaningfully distinguishable from countless others. For that matter, as I began watching I had hoped for some morbid fun, but instead 'Save yourself' is full of cruelty for its own sake. It's not enjoyable - just tortuous, in every sense.

And of course, as is often the case in such films, there are no few story beats that wouldn't come to pass if the characters were written with realistic intelligence. But then we we wouldn't have a movie, would we? A couple especially noteworthy performances (Tristan Risk, Elma Begovic),and a few moments done especially well, save this sliding even further into the depths of tedium - almost entirely undone all the same by the last seconds, which don't make narrative sense.

Oh well. A viewer who specifically likes horror movies of mindless brutality will feel right at home here, but for anyone who doesn't, this is at best perfectly average. 'Save yourself' could be worse, sure - but not by much.

Two disappointed thumbs down.

Here we go again, a jaunt in the country to a house of horrors, only this time it is five attractive young women with no male companions. One of them disappears at once. Will she be found, more to the point, how many if any of them will survive?

The house is owned by a man and his wife who oscillate between English and German. The girl upstairs is their daughter, who is obviously not cut from the same cloth as them, and the man in the car is their son, who most definitely is. So what are they doing? The man of the house is murdering people, all young girls apparently, by the score, this time though in the name of a supposed greater good instead of sadism. It is clear he is a follower of Nazi eugenics or some such, an intelligent speculation is that he is the grandson of a Nazi scientist who managed to escape after the Second World War.

This film would have earned 3 points at best but for the shocking revelation towards the end.

-1 Star for being too short.

+1 Star for early bathroom scene.

And then it went crappy crappy and really was horrible. 2/10.
