![]() ![]() ![]() You know, typical high school kids in movies like this, they are all in their mid-twenties. After a somewhat pointless scene with a girl being killed (not actually tied into the rest of the movie until the last five minutes), we are introduced to a group of high school friends. ![]() I think it wanted to be the latter, but they got funding for the former. You got a problem with dat? This movie seems to have a split personality, since it doesn't know if it wants to be a slasher movie or a gritty neighborhood crime drama. Okay, this movie was made by Carmine and the boys down in the old neighborhood, and even though it's supposed to be in some rural town, half of the actors talk like they have that Jersey/Italian accent. Sal Sirchia as Troy, a mentally challenged janitor, is absolutely horrible in his role in this film (everyone else in the movie are FAR from master thespians themselves, but he stood out as the worst) Eye Candy: Misty Meeler gets topless in the obligatory shower scene My Grade: D DVD Extras: 4 featurettes (Music and the Sound, Special FX Make-up, The Beat down, and Rico Behind the Mask) a Promo for Theatrical trailer and trailers for "Midnght Meat Train", "Seance", "Dead Man's Bounty", & "Christie's Revenge"īad movie you wished you hadn't just watched. Not a totally worthless film, merely a ho-hum bad one that no one give two damns about as they likely have seen some variation of it before (and better). Lamely acted and uninteresting, uninvolving plot line makes this play out like countless other 'teen slashers' of the '90's/2000's. Wearing it's Italian-American heart on it's blood-soaked sleeve, this derivative horror film has a group of unlikable, stupid jocks and their girlfriends getting killed by a masked killer while a retired police detective pairs up with a female one to try to find out who the murderer is. I will have to think of this film any time someone knocks! watch at your peril! the tag line is "Answering the door will never be the same again!" and they are right. Kinda harsh seeing as I love trashy B rate horrors, but this really scrapes the bucket. another one) is bearable at best, and you are begging for most of the kids to be slaughtered just to end the pain of having to watch them. The acting in this is SHOCKING! The "beautiful detective" is just horrible, the drunken retired cop (oh dear god. with me so far? OK so the plot is flimsy but many horror films have fared on less and done an admirable job of telling a bad story well through good acting and well directed horror scenes. Teen kids, Murderer systematically butchers them in interesting ways, police detectives follow the trail to its conclusion. And that is purely because 2 scenes in the entire film were well done, turned up the gore and feeling of real gut wrenching revulsion and just about saved the film from a Zero. I can only hope that the producers were able to claim this as a loss on their taxes. I read the reviews where people said that it was a hour and half of their life wasted, I entirely agree. My bad." While watching the credits, it appeared to be a family affair as every other person had Ariola as a last name but I wonder if some of the people were using code names so as not to be associated in any way, shape or form with this movie.because it was THAT BAD! I mean, Mike Driver as the on-set driver? Coincidence? I think not. Some of the finer acting moments include fake screams by the parents (the butcher and the dentist being the WORST, which might explain why those two scenes were combined), the lack of the kids reactions to finding out their friend was killed (He's dead, lets eat), the fake country accents of the sheriff and Troy's mom (They've got the bad Southern one and the rest have mild to heavy New York ones which make no sense) and lets not forget the beautiful scene where Cindy has been field dressed and the camera cuts to a close up and you can clearly see her opening her eye as if to say, "Is the scene over yet? Oops, it's not. The acting was TERRIBLE, the lines were corny and trite and delivered with about as much enthusiasm as a visit to the dentist for root canal. And please don't get me started on the bad porn music that played while kids are being 'butchered.' It's an insult to porn movies everywhere. I have never met a cop who wears high heels, tight skirts and a see through blouse to interrogate suspects. Normally these slasher movies bother me and I have to hide my eyes during the killing scenes but this just alternated between making me laugh and making me cringe.and not in a good way. There are no words to adequately describe HOW BAD this movie is. ![]()
