Aftershock (2012)
You can do better than this Mr. Roth
20 May 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Three friends (one of which is portrayed by Eli Roth) party in Chile. We spend the first half of the film meeting these guys, and learning about each of them. They meet a trio of women, and party with them throughout Chile too. While in an underground dance club in the city, an earthquake hits. Following that initial earthquake, we follow the survivors as they face many obstacles, including aftershocks from the initial blast, missing limbs, looters in the streets, loud storm sirens indicating an incoming tsunami, and freed prisoners who escaped when the initial earthquake opened up the prison. The build-up to the disaster takes forever though, and we spend half of the film meeting the characters before the earthquake. There isn't much to note in terms of acting, as no one stands out, but no one is annoying enough to warrant loads of complaints. There are small roles by Selena Gomez and RZA as well. Not the worst horror movie I've rented recently, but with Eli Roth involved, one would expect better.
