Info

As five underworld heavies settle in for an all night stay at an abandoned warehouse and former film studio, a series of bizarre and unsettling occurrences quickly lead them to believe they are not alone. It was supposed to be a simple night of babysitting a single hostage, but when a series of numbers began to appear on the walls things soon took a dark turn. Later, after the hostage escapes, the perplexed thugs not only learn that there is a rat in the ranks, but also discover the unsettling nature of the films that were shot in the warehouse. Now, as terror takes hold, the thieves are about to discover that they are being stalked from the shadows and that their odds of living to see daybreak are shrinking with each passing minute.Written by Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

13 Hours in a Warehouse Audience Reviews

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
bigdarvick ...you'll find out this this flick stinks bad. I knew I would be guaranteed of a flop, just by watching the previews. Apparently, these filmmakers (lol) were responsible for past epics of infantile freshman film-making 101. Whoever gave this movie decent reviews (and there were a few who praised it) must be someone involved in the making of this golden turkey, or someone who is a paid shill for the film company responsible for this completely amateurish attempt at ripping off Resevouir Dogs. I laughed out loud at some of the positive reviews--who are they fooling?Endlessly spinning camera shots open up this "direct to DVD" mega bomb that accomplishes nothing except to cause nausea. Choppy, poorly miked sound, made it difficult to hear anything (not that there was much to listen to.) Would Dav (without an "e") Kaufman please refrain from ever, I mean ever, making another movie? Instead of me paying RedBox (those morons) a 1.07, I could have a lot more fun either burning my money, or just flushing down the toilet.
Argemaluco The beginning of 13 Hours in a Warehouse did not bring me too much confidence...two minutes of slooooow credits made with a pretty ugly design,badly done special effects and letters from three different fonts which pretend to be creepy and the number 13 from the title drawn with blood.The first scene from the movie makes an improvement,while director and screenwriter Dav Kaufman confirms the phrase which was used to sell this movie : "Reservoir Dogs but with ghosts".13 Hours in a Warehouse is very far away from being an excellent movie but at least,it is a competent one.As I said,this movie shares a lot of similarities with Reservoir Dogs and it does not get even a pinch of the atmosphere,tension and dialogues from that brilliant movie...but at least it tries.On this movie,the long conversations between the main characters try to find the strange balance between humor,realism and pop sensibility director and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino used as an apparent challenge for hundreds of filmmakers who said : "I can also write about hamburgers" (like he did during a scene of Pulp Fiction which has the famous line "Royale with cheese").Films like 13 Hours in a Warehouse show that that things Tarantino does are difficult to do,although they seem easy at first sight.Kaufman fell on that trap,so some dialogues feel forced (for example,the "funny" discussion about Robin Williams and the films he participates on).The supernatural events from this movie are shown with subtleness and style and the reactions from the characters are realistic.I have to admit the movie fulfills with the intention of provoking suspense.Kaufman brought a solid direction and his work on that field is above the average from another straight-to-DVD horror films.But his work as a screenwriter was not as good as his work as a director.Besides some dialogues which are forced (as I previously mentioned),there are elements which do no flow naturally.Going back to the positive points,the dramatic scenes are the best element from this movie,specially when it is revealed the origins of the supernatural elements and its relationship with some of the criminals.I also appreciated this movie is more interested in atmosphere and tension than in showing litres and litres of blood,as difference to so many horror films.13 Hours in a Warehouse is not an excellent film and it is extremely far away from it.But,in spite of having various fails (specially,on the screenplay),this is a competent horror film which kept me entertained and tense.
tedthumb I have no idea where to begin because every part of the movie I watched was bad. It's rare when a movie doesn't have one good thing a viewer can say about it. I'm a fan of low budget movies that aren't from tinseltown. 13 Hours in a Warehouse only backs up peoples opinions on low budget movies that they are made by people that don''t know how to make a movie. Director Dav Kaufman's attempt to borrow a plot from Reservoir Dogs and make it a sorta horror movie did not work. Bad guys meet up in a warehouse with a kidnap victim. Said warehouse was a used to make twisted type snuff films. You can figure out what happens from there. I am 100% agreement with another reviewer that said Meisha Johnson stunk as the victim. Director Dav Kaufman for what ever reason took some kind of high ground by not following the B grade low budget horror formula. There has to be some kinda nudity. 13 Hours in a Warehouse tries to take itself to seriously. Don't waste time on this movie.
edward sanguinetti Just imagine you and your friends, a bunch of cinema fans, have time to kill, and one comes out with the idea: let's make a zero budget movie. If you are in this mood this movie is an absolute must: you will get a lot of good hints and a (short) list of things to avoid. And dream to be as good a beginner as this Kaufman is. You will need a location: if it is good you can just write the script inside it, by night. An abandoned, gloomy, brownish, creepy warehouse would be perfect; you can have it for just a few beers. The genre, of course, horror/fantasy to avoid the traps of intimate dramas, or the costs action movies. With a wise script special effects can be very simple and at the same time so pertinent to their background to be unarguable (when you see them in this movie, just reflect how they are obtained and what's the relationship with the story). The movie has apparently no pretensions, the language is simple, the end may be imagined, the use of cinematographic archetypes abundant, citations range from Charlie Chaplin (a character features this across the whole movie, and, please don't think it's naive or stupid, on the contrary, it gives a special flavor) to the standard up-to-date gore. A partial theatrical approach also helps giving some structure, but in the whole, it is the location that keeps all together. There are nice ideas here and there that put salt in the soup, some scenes that need a bit of cleaning, the suspense is always alive. A film to look with critical eye to fully enjoy it. But if you are a lazy consumer and like the genre, it is worth the price anyway.
