I caught this by chance flicking through the channels . Dennis Hopper ? He is a very underrated actor best known for playing bad guys . Likwise Peter Capaldi he has recently been picking up good parts in film and television recently . However I should have paid more attention to the supporting cast . Kelly Brook is someone best known for modeling while Susie Amy is best known for her role as Chardonnay in British trash classic FOOTBALLERS WIVES . No , actually she's known only as Chardonnay which gives a clue as to her talents and her non career
The story starts with nine characters getting chloroformed and abducted by an unknown assailant . They wake up in a basement of a house where a transmitted voice tells them they're going to play a game where the last one alive will win $5 million and be given their freedom . Obviously the voice has seen both BIG BROTHER and SAW . Sadly the producers of HOUSE OF 9 have used BIG BROTHER as their main inspiration rather than SAW which means we're subjected to a bunch of whiny , unlikable foul mouthed non entities who deserve all that's coming to them
There's little in the way of plot and little in the way of character development . The cast don't help themselves much either and even Hopper gives an unconvincing performance as an " Oirish " priest who can't even complete a sentence without breaking in to his natural American accent . Director Steve R Monroe seems more interested in to inserting a power ballad sequence than developing Phillipe Vidal's screenplay and the ending where Brook's character ( Who's miraciously survived electrocution ) wins the money only to find herself locked in another vault makes no sense whatsoever
