I saw this at a film festival and it was with out a doubt the high light of the festival. I had no expectations going into the film and was absolutely intrigued by the story. Its twist and turns were completely unpredictable, it left the audience with a cramp in the lower back for they were sitting on the edge of their sit the majority of the film.

The real thrill from this film is how realistic it is, with the whole story line being completely possible. Though this film wasn't enjoyed by my parents they don't really have taste for good films (for example Sin City, Pulp Fiction, the Departed or even Scar Face were not films they enjoyed). So if your 16 to late 30s with a taste for film this one will quench it like solo.

Id like to think I've been desensitize to what film can produce but this film hit me on a deeper level then just damage or death to the human body. The film constantly has many paths the characters could take but its so unpredictable that even as you get to the end and try and predict what's going to happen you will still get it wrong.

In conclusion I highly recommend seeing this film, you will laugh, cover face and be shocked. I now have a fear of going near self storage places, my doctor says its Cleisiophobia but who knows.

When I finished watching STORAGE I thought to myself this wasn't bad at all, this film was actually good considering I haven't really ever seen an Australian film that I could say was good but STORAGE was certainly an exception.

STORAGE, although its a good film does have one flaw and that is a lack of suspense in the final act, the first half builds nicely, it sets up the mood, creates atmosphere, develops each character fully and keeps you guessing for quite a while and has a set of very good plot twists, the film even tries to side step the obvious genre clichés, these are all the positive things but the only thing that keeps it from being a great thriller is the lack of suspense towards the end, if I could be more specific without spoiling it, with the exception of one shocking moment its the most predictable part of the film.

Overall, despite the one flaw STORAGE is worth seeing and is worthy of a broader audience, I definitely recommend this film if you want to see it.

First off, it's not believable at all that the main character would fall for the reasoning of his uncle about the paedophile, or the case of the supposed murderer, and this takes away any credibility that there may have been. Second, this Dexter-like uncle is just an unbelievable character in the way he's 'evolving' throughout the story. And then there's that scene with the waterboarding as a means to get the truth, which is too obvious a comment on current realities - in itself there's not much wrong with that, but hey, I thought I was watching a simple suspense thriller without too many pretensions... including a sex scene hinting at prostitution, but with some sort of 'true love'-twist - I don't know what to make of that (even though Saskia Burmeister is very easy on the eye - but don't get to attached to her...!).

All in all the acting is pretty reasonable, and there are a few nice kills in it, but that's just not enough to make it a film that sticks with you. It's all just pretty standard stuff, but it has a nice opening scene though, including a very small part of 'Death Wish II'.

I wouldn't recommend it, but it wasn't a total waste of time for me either.
