 NOT A SCARY HORROR MOVIE February 17, 2009
DOPPELHERZ (USA)
AS SOON AS THIS BLACK BOOK IS OPENED-THE SUSPENSE,AND EXCITEMENT STARTS.THE BOOK IS EVIL.THE BOOK IS A SPIRIT.NOW THAT THE BOOK IS OPENED-THE SPIRIT GETS INTO THE PERSON WHO OPENS IT,AND THE PERSON STARTS TO KILL PEOPLE.THIS SPIRIT CAN ALSO JUMP FROM PERSON TO PERSON WHO GETS IN CANTACT WITH THE PERSON WHO'S POSSESSED.IT GETS TO THE POINT THAT NOBODY TRUSTS EACH OTHER BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS WHO'S POSSESSED OR NOT.THERE'S SOME BLOOD.I THINK THIS IS AN INTERESTING MOVIE.IT'S DIFFERENT.
Creepy Ghost Story That Is Nice To Watch On A Stormy Winter Night November 15, 2008
J. B. Hoyos (Chesapeake, VA)
"Nine Lives" had great potential. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The setting is perfect. Nine attractive college friends are snowbound in a huge manor in the secluded countryside of Scotland. (One can become literally lost in the manor's maze of rooms.) The atmosphere is creepy, cold, and foreboding.
The ghost of a Scottish land baron, Murray, is angry because his eyes were gouged out and his lands and home seized from him. He possesses one youth and begins to slaughter the others. The ghost passes from one body to another, reminding me of the alien creature in "The Hidden" and the demonic creature that was Jason Voorhees in "Jason Goes to Hell."
"Nine Lives" is a good slasher film in that the viewer doesn't know who will die next. However, there are no major revelations or surprises and no twist ending. In fact, the ending was rather mundane. This film is essentially standard slasher fare.
Paris Hilton's performance was also a disappointment. She receives top billing and I suspect her name appeal drew American audiences to rent this DVD. She is the only American in the film. The rest of the cast consists mostly of attractive Europeans with British and Scottish accents. Paris basically plays herself: a wealthy, spoiled socialite who lives a carefree, selfish life. She barely raises her voice when threatened. Paris' character is the first to die, which is early in the film.
"Nine Lives" shouldn't be bypassed altogether. It does have some startling moments and the snowbound setting is wonderful. This film is great to watch on a cold, wintry night when it is either raining or snowing hard outside.
OK for the genre (2.5/5) March 3, 2008
falcon (canada)
this movie is OK for the horror genre.it's nothing new or special,but
the genre has produced worse.i didn't find the acting all that
bad.again,it wasn't great,but i've seen worse.Paris Hilton is in this
one,and is no better or worse than anyone else in the movie.i didn't
find the movie particularly scary or thrilling.but then a lot of so
called horror movies aren't scary,merely disgusting.but i did think it
was passable entertainment for 85 minutes or so.if you go in expecting
award winning acting,and anything but a time waster,you'll be
disappointed.if you've never seen one of these types of movies,you
might find it scary.otherwise,just enjoy watching characters doing the
stupid things they do in these movies before getting dispatched.for
me,Nine Lives is a 2.5/5

Anything having to do with Paris Hilton is doomed to be garbage. The premise of the story is trite and in the end leaves the audience wondering "whaaaaa". The only person not to die is scottish and that's the only reason why he didnt; because he's Scottish. WHAT????? Sick plot, dumb characters overall DULLLLL. How many movies will they make with "a group of friends in a secluded castle" Yes i borrowed the movie which is great compared to paying $20.00 for the DVD and wasting my money and time watching it. YAWWWWWWWWWWN!!!
0 STARS: Very poorly acted, unconvincing, uncompelling and lame. March 12, 2007

You just about need nine lives to get through this movie alive. In "Nine Lives", the acting is wooden and the action is totally unconvincing. The idea and setting of the movie may have worked, but the execution is so bad, the movie is totally uncompelling. None of the characters stick out with any degree of noticeability. Ultimately, "Nine Lives" comes across as totally and completely lame. I could barely stomach this movie to the end.
