Title: Creepy atmosphere, but bland and boring
Review: There seemed to be a bit of promise with Walled In, especially considering the film's opening sequence and the creepy atmosphere offered up by the building most of the film takes place in, but alas, the film as a whole is a rather bland and boring affair. The OC's Mischa Barton stars as a demolition agent employed to research said creepy building for future demolishment, only to discover the building's (and its architect's) dark secrets and be obsessed over by a creepy teen (Cameron Bright). While Walled In does have a lot going for it, and Barton is actually pretty decent in the lead, the film just plods along in its relative predictability, until finally concluding in a pretty laughable ending. Still, the gloomy atmosphere does give Walled In a bit of redeeming value, but in the end, there really isn't much here to recommend.
