Uncut (2009)
Seven people and their desperate search for escape, only one will survive. The last performance of a pantomime is held at an old, isolated theater in provincial England. The show has been a disaster, attracting only a handful of locals. The final party afterwards turns out even worse and some of the cast and crew slip away for their own private session in the creepy basement. Amongst the group are the enviable pantomime leads and real-life lovers Clarice and Nathan, currently not speaking, the womanizing director Derrick and the thirty-something, obscure stage assistant Janet. As their bash kicks off Derrick disappears, only to be found with his throat savagely slashed. When they discover that they're locked in the next victim dies. The killing continues. Paranoia grows. Nobody can be trusted.

Wonderful character development!
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The acting wasn't the best. The film itself was interesting. A neat take on the old killer in a theater plot. Again, though the characters weren't very engaging because of the lackluster performances.The camera work was a bit distracting at times and some of the characters pulled a Scooby Doo and kept entering out of different doors and popping up at random times. But the "one continuous take" format kind of calls for that.It's worth a watch though.Watch Birdman first, though.
