Condemned

Aggressively ugly and gross, the movie boasts a certain low-rent authenticity, but the auteur never figures out how to fill his grubby little rooms.

Writer-director Eli Morgan Gesner (a clothing designer and skateboarder who previously helmed the skateboarding and hip-hop doc “Concrete Jungle”) could have milked the premise for gleeful counterculture exploitation (like a 21st-century “Basket Case”) or campy John Waters-style gross-out comedy, but settles for mean-spirited banality.

So what do the tea leaves say? They're hard to read through the over-the-top grossness and weak acting, but it's probably that gentrification is good, poor people and assorted lowlifes don't deserve prime real estate, and Sean Penn's baby girl needs a better agent.

One of the most egregiously awful horror films in recent memory.

It's admirably grimy looking and you can possibly read some interesting subtext about the class system and the treatment of minorities in america. But beyond that it's just a bit rubbish. The acting is universally poor, the film sort of loses it's way after 50 minutes and generally is quite problematic with it's character design. It adds very little to the zombie/infection genre, but you do have to appreciate just how filthy the sets looks at al times.

Could've been worse, should've been better, would've been decent enough. In here, Condemned doesn't work at either those three. It's worse than what could've been worse.

It starts decent to say at least but the decency ends very fast after the beginning - when the main events start happening it turns out to be just dumb gore with nothing scary at all about it and very fast becomes hard to watch cuz of it's scareless dumbness. It a joke to call this a horror movie cuz it's not scary at all.

This is really horrible. I do not want to play this game. I'm glad i borrowed it before playing. Now I'm recommending that everyone save their money and don't bother buy it. Truly awful. It is boring, tawdry, and the story is so derivative. The acting is third-rate, amateurish. The effects look like they were drawn using crayon. A piece of godawful trash.
