"BET took a huge leap with this movie! One late night, during the time of Halloween, I stumbbled upon this movie. I didn't get the name, because I ws so into this movie! It reminds me of saw, and the acting was great! The cast is well known and the plot is really good. I love that this movie has african american actors in it, which I myself have been waiting for a long time! We need to break out more into the horror genre and BET did just that! It's a great movie, very scary and you can trust me, I know my horror movies! BUY IT!"

"i wasn't expecting anything from this at all. i just wanted to watch something that had a little bit of suspense and scares in it. it had a bit more than that as the deaths were a bit much other folks might want to be wary of those. the story while nothing really special serves it's purpose. I can see why "Somebody.." was a DVD release and might be best watched via rent first. But check it out for yourself and then decide after that. Nothing spectacular or anything, but better than a lot of crap i've seen recently...also leaves it open for a sequel."
Best in the lastest bunch of Urban Slashers ..3 and a half s

"I quite liked "Somebody Help Me".
It was more realistic than alot of the movies of this genre"my fav"..Both Omarion and Marques do a good job acting as does the rest of the cast.
It has some good gory kill scenes,a little bit of supernatural"I usually dont care for that in my slashers,but it works here".
and it deals with REALITY as far as when the teens bring up the question(Will the white town people and sheriff believe us ,we're Black)When wanting to report their freinds missing and the fact that they think ther's a killer on the loose.
They unfortunatly are staying in a cabin too close for comfort to a disgruntled psycho maniac plastic surgeon wannabe who takes his captives and locks them in small dog like cages and then performs plastic sugery on them.. WELL lets say he doesn't have a very good bedside manner.
The 2 main characters played by Omarion and Marques do what a person SHOULD do when confronting a maniac.. not what steriotypical white characters do.
I wont give anymore away..
But like I said I liked it and have watched it 3 times."
THIS MOVIE HELLA SUCKS!!

"Thank goodness it was on tv and free vs. me buying it. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it. If you can see it on tv, do so just to see what I'm talking about. I like Marques & Omarion, but they should have chosen better scripts to showcase their acting abilities. The part that really kills me is that Marques' character is walking around with a police shot gun and doesn't use it on the killer. Hella STUPID movie!!!!!!"
