Recent engineering graduate Sam Walczak travels to the middle of nowhere to supervise demolition of the mysterious Malestrazza Building. She soon comes face to face with the horrifying secrets of the building and its past inhabitants, many of whom were entombed alive within the walls of the pristine building by its obsessed architect. As Sam begins to unravel the clandestine details of the architect's life and his astonishing building, she is drawn into the dark and frightening reality which forces her to accept her own dark past and turn the tables before she becomes the last victim.

Il est rafraîchissant de regarder un film sans s’être renseigné à l’avance sur son contenu et encore plus rafraîchissant quand on réalise qu'il s'agissait en fait d’un tout autre genre et d’une tout autre histoire que ce à quoi on s’attendait ! Un vendredi soir, après une journée éreintante, Les Emmurés offre un moment de divertissement relativement honnête, d’autant plus qu’on y trouve ma chère « Marissa ». Il est juste dommage que les trente dernières minutes et le dénouement ne soient pas plus recherchés.

Points for the relatively original premise, the pretty heroine and the interesting architecture of the house where everything takes place. The rest is quite poor, and I would especially like to point out the way the dialogues (and monologues) are uttered. It really felt as if the actors, all of them, were reading from a piece of paper – it’s impossible to speak in a more unnatural way. When I referred to the originality of the premise, I meant only the basic motif, i.e. walling people alive (the first scene with the little girl is a real delight), but the story itself follows very well trodden paths and uses so many horror clichés, and so so naively, that it’s no longer nice. Two to three stars…
