Nachdem die meisten Studenten über die Feiertage nach Hause zu ihren Familien gefahren sind, verbringen Justine (Haley Bennett) und einige ihrer Freundinnen Thanksgiving alleine auf dem abgelegenen Campus ihrer Universität. Doch während sich die junge Gruppe auf einige gemütliche Tage einstellt, ahnt keiner von ihnen, dass sie schon längst von einem unbekannter Killer ins Visier genommen wurden. (Tiberius Film)

Den Film gibts erst seit zwei Tagen zu "kaufen" und es gibt hier schon Rezensionen wie verrückt. Also, um die Gruppe nicht zu entreißen, werde ich meine hinzufügen :) Überraschend gut gemachte "Invasion" (das Budget betrug anständige 7 Millionen), was in der Tradition aller "Strangers" und anderer Brüder oder Schwestern steht. Schöne Kamera, angenehmer Pop-Soundtrack, kurze Laufzeit, schnelleres Tempo, sympathische Heldin. All das führt dazu, dass man sich nicht langweilen kann. Aber es hat einen Kran von einem Hacken. Teleportation. Die Gruppe von Arschlöchern hier bewegt sich nämlich so effektvoll und schnell von Ort zu Ort, dass sie sogar die Legende Michael Myers weit hinter sich lässt. Und das war ein Meister auf seinem Gebiet!

I like home invasion movies, but too many of them have popped up in the last year for me to be in any way excited about the next one (even if this one is a “campus invasion”) that doesn’t try to do anything new. Technically speaking, Random is well made. The only thing that captivated me in any way was the colour palette, it gives the night scenes a pretty interesting atmosphere. Other than that, nothing. Filmmakers should realise that for a hide-and-seek or chase to be tense if it’s taking place in a big area, there are some basic time-space rules that have to be observed, like the villains shouldn’t appear improbably fast in an unlikely place, which is something that here happens all the time. I even had to convince myself to give it that third star.

So this is a flash out of the blue, an incredible ride!! Tailor-made for me. The film boasts a beautiful lead actress, insane pacing, it speeds along like a Porsche on the highway that no one can stop, perfect bad guys with low-key masks and a solid bad ass leader who commands respect. The main thing that got me going was the soundtrack! I dare say that I have never heard a better soundtrack in a horror movie, the gradual build-up, I got scared like 20 times during the movie!!! And that's not even a stupid ghost movie. Truly a powerhouse and the best drive horror film of the year. There's not even time for lapses in logic, because this movie doesn't let you breathe, let alone think about stupid things. This movie should be savored like tiramisu. I recommend only with headphones, otherwise it will have no effect!

Based to the reviews here, I was hoping for a solid home invasions flick and a good action ride, but unfortunately I have to say that this is definitely not a quality addition and Kristy is just an ordinary home (or rather campus) invasion with the usual clichés that belong to this subgenre. The protagonist is cute, but I can't find anything more positive here: zero gore, bland action, murders without an idea, the killers are conveniently always everywhere the victim runs away, and the whole thing gets annoying after a while, mainly through the stupid behaviour of the characters, the typical order of deaths and the B-movie ending. Boring and a very weak, and a quite merciful two stars.
