Nine Lives (2002)

this movie is OK for the horror genre.it's nothing new or special,but the genre has produced worse.i didn't find the acting all that bad.again,it wasn't great,but i've seen worse.Paris Hilton is in this one,and is no better or worse than anyone else in the movie.i didn't find the movie particularly scary or thrilling.but then a lot of so called horror movies aren't scary,merely disgusting.but i did think it was passable entertainment for 85 minutes or so.if you go in expecting award winning acting,and anything but a time waster,you'll be disappointed.if you've never seen one of these types of movies,you might find it scary.otherwise,just enjoy watching characters doing the stupid things they do in these movies before getting dispatched.for me,Nine Lives is a 4.5/10

In Scotland, the wealthy Tim (Patrick Kennedy) invites eight friends from school to celebrate his twenty-first anniversary in his isolated mansion. After a dinner party, his friend Tom (Lex Shrapnel) finds an old book written by an old Scottish that has been tortured centuries ago in the house with many pages written only "I Have Returned" and somehow his spirit is unleashed and possesses Tom. He hits Tim and kills Jo (Paris Hilton), switching bodies among the friends and threatening everyone in the house. From this moment on, suspicion rules the relationship of the friends that do not know who might be trustful.I did not believe in IMDb rating and reviews and bought a couple of days ago this DVD on sale. Unfortunately, the flawed story that mix "Fallen" with the usual clichés of "slash movies of people trapped in a house" is really very bad, with a terrible screenplay and awful and ridiculous dialogs. Most of the young cast shows strength, but the script really does not help. The greatest attraction, Paris Hilton, with the name highlighted on the cover of the DVD, has a minor participation and her character is the first one to die. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Nove Vidas" ("Nine Lives")

This movie was terrible, but I enjoyed myself. Because it is unintentionally HILARIOUS!!! I'm going to list all of the things I loved, in no particular order. The things that made me laugh hysterically. If you've seen it, you'll probably know what I mean, and if not, you'll just have to see for yourself1.The pointless handoff of the cell phone by Paris to the other chick. "Is this yours?" *holds phone like she's doing an ad for Motorolla* 2.Paris making a line like "you're scaring me" sound like "boo hoo hoo". 3.The amazing way that the main girl figures out what is going on so exactly and so quickly, without any real direct evidence. 4.The scene where the med student guy thinks his dying girl was killed, he's all sad, then her eyes open, and he stabs her as if to say "Oh well". And it all happens in less time than it takes to read that. 5.Why was that guy in the bathroom for 45 minutes. It's like the writer saw that in another movie and just HAD to have it in their story too. Even if it didn't make sense. 6.Of course, the ridiculous voice over at the end. 7.The Scottish guy sets the book on fire, and then throws it in the POURING RAIN!!! 8.The Scottish guy just hangs out at the house after all of his friends have been murdered, changes clothes, steps over his friends corpses like they are so much garbage, sits out on the porch and has a smoke. 9.Med student guy sits by the big window that seems to be just big enough for, say, a killer to crash through. 10.girl dying on couch- "I don't wanna die" med student- "You're gonna be fine. I'm gonna go try and make it through this snow and find help" amazingly intuitive girl- "You can't. The snow has made the roads too dangerous." med student- "She's gonna die if I don't" girl dying on couch- "what?" med student- "Shh. You're gonna be fine." (I'm paraphrasing the dialog of course, but that's like how it plays out)10 is enough I guess. Just avoid this movie unless you like MST3K type flicks.

OK, Why did I watch this film? -Simple Paris Hilton. What was it like ?- It was like National lampoons meets Blair witch project- But was funny in places and scary in others. Would I recommend it?- Actually yes i would, Paris was not that bad an actress at all. She does pull off a believable character.The basis of the film is that 9 friends have reunited for a birthday party in the Scottish Highlands. The drink flows and relationships are rekindled, everyone relaxes for the perfect weekend.it starts to snow and soon the group is entirely cut off from the rest of the world. Soon some uninvited guests join the party. Obviously one by one they start to die. Paris lasts about 24 minutes or so. I will not spoil it but only one person survives. I will not tell you who.This film does not have the big stars but it does exactly what it says on the box. I enjoyed the film and would watch again.All in all a good watch.
