with lifeless performances, a distinct lack of suspense or scares, and a by-the-numbers plot, "Masquerade" does ironic live up to its definition. This home invasion thriller pretends to be far less tedious than it really is
it's all rather uninspired and lacking suspenseful moods; Masquerade is an unmoving and mundane criminal thriller that wastes Bella Thorne in a role that, frankly, any actress could embody
bloody, brutal thriller is both confusing and dull; This bargain-bin thriller largely fails at generating much suspense and succeeds mainly at raising questions about its characters' capabilities and its bizarre, baffling "final twist"
a feature that has no polish, no tension; "Masquerade" is a short endeavor, which is usually a blessing, but Shane Dax Taylor isn’t offering an efficient offering of film direction that keeps things nail-biting from start to finish
