From the director of YOU GOT SERVED & HOUSE PARTY 4, comes this urban horror thriller on the order of CABIN FEVER, THE HILLS HAVE EYES, and WRONG TURN.

One by one of group ends up missing or dead, while the dwindling group is forced to ban together more and more to figure out who or what is behind the killings. Ultimately, they discover even more than they bargain for in a chilling reveal.

Best in the lastest bunch of Urban Slashers ..3 and a half stars

I quite liked "Somebody Help Me".
It was more realistic than alot of the movies of this genre"my fav"..Both Omarion and Marques do a good job acting as does the rest of the cast.
It has some good gory kill scenes,a little bit of supernatural"I usually dont care for that in my slashers,but it works here".
and it deals with REALITY as far as when the teens bring up the question(Will the white town people and sheriff believe us ,we're Black)When wanting to report their freinds missing and the fact that they think their is a killer loose.
They unfortunatly are staying in a cabin too close for comfort to a disgruntled psycho maniac plastic surgeon wannabe who takes captives locks then in small dog like cages and then performs plastic sugery on them.. WELL lets say he doesn't have a very good bedside manner.
The 2 main characters played by Omarion and Marques do what a person SHOULD do when confronting a maniac.. not what steriotypical white characters do.
I wont give anymore away..
But like I said I liked it and have watched it 3 times. May 26, 2008

its decent

i wasn't expecting anything from this at all. i just wanted to watch something that had a little bit of suspense and scares in it. it had a bit more than that as the deaths were a bit much other folks might want to be wary of those. the story while nothing really special serves it's purpose. I can see why "Somebody.." was a DVD release and might be best watched via rent first. But check it out for yourself and then decide after that. Nothing spectacular or anything, but better than a lot of crap i've seen recently...also leaves it open for a sequel. January 23, 2008

Overrated. Trite. Crappy. Low-Budgeted. Simply-shocked.

Cliche after cliche after cliche in Hollywood films is addressed. To be honest, I'm floored to actually see this movie here at amazon! I'm happy though, cause I get to bash it! Nothing at all was original...

*white girl is a "ghost" and helps Marques duck the doctor time after time "Duck. NOW!"
*guys (Marques and Omarion) get tricked into going to another's out of the way cabin, thinking the sheriff is there just cause there's a police car there
*Omarion picks up the phone and white powder comes out, that just so happens to knock him out (LMFAO!)
*Marques LEAVES his friend and eventually falls down running from the killer
*killer is actually a former doctor with a bad reputation of killing women *Y A W N*
*Marques' friends, including Omarion are locked up in cages and he *G U L P* FORGETS the keys
*Marques GOES BACK only to see that the killer, who he stabbed in the back once and LEFT THE KNIFE WITH HIM, has left the building
*Killer comes back and Marques gets knocked out

I'll let you watch the rest of this pathetic mess. It WAS intriguing until too many of the trite occurrences pop out one after another.

I watched this crappy movie on BET tonight BTW. It ended like an hour ago , Thank Goodness.

Don't even buy this movie USED at 10 dollars, plus. Get it for 4 bucks or less unless you're a big fan then go ahead and blow the money. At least most of the terrible actors and actresses look good! January 12, 2008

THIS MOVIE HELLA SUCKS!!

Thank goodness it was on tv and free vs. me buying it. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it. If you can see it on tv, do so just to see what I'm talking about. I like Marques & Omarion, but they should have chosen better scripts to showcase their acting abilities. The part that really kills me is that Marques' character is walking around with a police shot gun and doesn't use it on the killer. Hella STUPID movie!!!!!! January 12, 2008

One of the Dumbest Movies I've Ever Seen

Do NOT spend $22 on this movie. I got a second-hand copy for $5 and I wish I could return it. I really seriously wanted to like this movie but it's like the writer went out of his/her way to make me hate it. The charachters in this movie are some of the dumbest people ever, and you just hope that the killer would go ahead and find them, kill them, and put them out of MY misery.

This movie is complete garbage PLEAAASSSEEE do not spend $22 on this. The bad part is I'm actually watching the movie as I write this. Couldn't wait. December 28, 2007
