From the director of Midnight Meat Train comes this gripping thriller starring Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Stephen Dorff (Blade). After an intense holdup at a pawnshop, Grace is taken hostage by the thieves. Forced to take refuge at a remote farmhouse late at night, they discover a secret dungeon with evidence of sadistic violence--and when "Grandfather" comes home, all hell breaks loose. Can Grace muster the courage to escape the gut-wrenching fates that befall her criminal companions?

Clearly this has been fashioned for viewers who think inventive special effects involving exploding bags of blood and baling wire are fun, which they can be if you have the stomach for it.

No discount thrill is high enough for The Price We Pay to be worth its rock-bottom terror.

The cast is fine, but there’s a dispiriting dourness to the film. Nevertheless, after a slow start, Kitamura does offer up some impressive splatter scenes...

3/5

This is a film of two halves – neither one particularly new or original, but both of them directed by the singular talent which is Ryûhei Kitamura.

...a violent climax full of campy, shocking, gleefully-gory imagery. If you’re the kind of horror fan willing to sit through an often-mediocre movie just to get those delicious morsels of daft zaniness, then The Price We Pay is for you.

The Price We Pay is yet another tedious and moronic slasher flick that's a very bad imitation of 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. If you're going to copy a horror classic, at least make it compelling. The Price We Pay fails miserably on every level.
