This is another storage unit horror story, (Storage, Self Storage, Blood Shed, Storage 24, The 13th Unit). Ella (Mischa Barton) with the help of a friend (Emily Atack) finds her way into a self storage unit belonging to her fiancée. Oh yes it is near closing time as usual and they only have a few minutes and no cell phone reception. The following is generic plot spoilers for this and all the films mentioned:
Wrong Unit...Check.
Something deadly in unit...check
Other people there also including someone who lives in one of the units...check
Closing time and lock down prevent their leaving....check
If I recall my high school biology, if you staple a person's mouth shut, life expectancy can not be too long.
I watched the film and felt like I have seen it at least a half dozen times before, thinking it had been released previously under a different title. I didn't see this film being done any better than the other two star productions...except for maybe that one with Eric Roberts. Been there. Done that.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

That's the wrong number
Business as usual
This wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the clichés and some of the actors (for various reasons, either while they probably can't do any better or because their roles have been underwritten). Take Mischa Barton: She was "working" perfectly in OC, but since then has not found a place in the "acting"/movie business.
But while the movie does pack a punch or two (the ending is either too good for the movie or will annoy you, because the movie seemed to go to a different place),the overall feeling gets undermined by many factors, another one being the script/dialog. It's a shame really, especially considering all the places this could've gone (no pun intended)
Not Very Good
-1 Star For One Characters' Way Too Early Exit
This one is not much of a horror feature. And least not one with a whole lot of umph, Pretty simple murderous killer story in the Vatican sized labyrinth that typically exists under every public storage facility as we all well know. It's below average fare for the genre.
