THe box says 5 girls go out to a rural farm house to get away and then learn a terrible secret about a house next door. Well, after learning the secret they of course decide to go stay in it. Which never unfolds really. You got 5 hot girls that end up swimming half the film and just talking about nothing really. Im not convinced that they even died in the movie at the end. There is no nudity, I don't know why it is R rated, a couple bad words I think. The blood is only thrown against a wall and implying that something bad happens. The worst part is, in the beginning there is some crazy gas station dude that has during one of the MANY flashback scenes that just have no bearing on the movie, anyway, this old guy kills a dude and them starts taking photos of the girl with a stuttering young man who is the only cool character in the film. They take photos of her, with the guy kissing her and sorta leading to a perversion that would be cool in itself if the real story didn't have to happen. Over all, the writers need to go to school and learn how to write something entertaining because nothing ever happens in this film. Absolutely boring. The only bright spot is the stuttering guy who actually did a pretty good job. This film makes ED WOOD films look like masterpieces. Horrendous.
... View MoreNot the worst movie I've ever seen, but pretty bad, even for an indie. The plot seems like it was written as part of a class exercise where each class member gets to write one page of a script. There are flashbacks, flash-forwards, and all sorts of discontinuities. Characters are introduced only to be dropped completely, while new and important characters are introduced at the very end of the movie.A couple of the scenes make you wonder what the movie would have been like if it had been consistent, but these moments are fleeting.The movie is also not helped by the poor audio. There are times when you think that one of the characters must be deaf because the POV shots show someone talking but you can't hear any dialogue.Finally, I would have liked to have been there for the casting, as the producer apparently posted a call for interchangeable cheerleader-type girls 19 to 22 years of age, no nudity or acting ability required. Five of them are bad enough, but I'm sure there was a whole line of them at the casting office. That would have made a horror story on its own.

The storyline is a turkey too, why is that man taking pictures from a girl, why is she almost undressed and in the next shot dressed and then undressed again? Who is that guy, supposed to mislead the viewer thinking he is the killer. How stupid are those girls really want to visit an abandoned house were some atrocities happened. 1954 and 1955 back flashes, huh, who are those kids? the names never appear in the movie. The end, what the hell, see it coming miles away. And what about the conversations between the girls, so stupid, you see them wait until one has finished her sentence. This is no acting. At the end, suddenly there is light in that house but still they think no one lives there. No blood flows, just in snap shots that's the best part, some frames included with blood. You never see any killing of effect used. Can it get worser? I don't think so... a waist of time
... View MoreThis movie is like a rocky boat that sets off boldly but soon makes water and in the end sadly sinks like a stone.The ingredients are OK: five pretty girls, high on hormones, who go out partying in this luxurious remote villa; some creepy locals (one lecherous, one retarded); a mysterious but hunky bachelor boy-next-door who flirts with the girls; and an abandoned haunted house in the vicinity. But it's like the pieces of a potentially good puzzle that are put together in the wrong way, they just don't fit.First of all: these five girls all are more or less interchangeable, there's no character-description or development whatsoever, so you have hardly any reason to sympathize with anyone of them. Are they really cheerleaders? They never once talk about it. What in the world makes them go to that remote place?! There's absolutely nothing to party at all, just a house and a pool, so that's all they seem to do: swim, sunbathe, sleep. No (visible) boozing, no drugs, no wild music and dance, no nothing. Then they are supposed to be sassy, but all they do to prove this is that they play some lame version of truth or dare that could have passed censorship in a catholic convent, even though they're in their underwear and in the company of the hunky boy-next-door. That's the next improbability that made me suspect him from the start. Here you (young and handsome stud) are in the company of a bunch of partying young girls that circle around you in their flimsy bikini's and underwear and you have nothing on but your baggy wet shorts and then you behave like you're someone's little baby brother?!? Every other self-respecting horror-flick should have come-up at this point with some hot scenes of making out and bare boobs, but not here.The other ingredients of the story don't ever seem to blend during the bulk of the movie, they're only tied together in the end as if the writer suddenly thought that there shouldn't be any loose ends when the audience goes home. The lecherous mechanic from the beginning of the movie doesn't play any role in the rest of it, we just find him back in the end as a corpse. The flash back of him butchering some other lost kids is totally superfluous to the story. The weird man in the haunted house, who's kept hidden for some time as the mysterious force that's responsible for the disappearance and killing of some of the girls, come's totally out-off the blue, it's no-one we've seen before, so how can we relate to his presence and actions? Movies like this traditionally have to have a last grand twist, that should make you jump up just before the lights go on again, and they DO give it a try here, but I saw it coming from the beginning and I'm mostly the last to know things like that.The only decent thing in this movie is the flash backs to the kid-brothers, where the vicious one plays "prove how much you love me!" and really causes some chills on your spine. But the rest of the supposed horror was lost on me. We never see a real graphic kill, and the victims just hang around a table in some sort of comatose way while being drained of their blood (what's the use of THAT??). The acting and the direction are mediocre at best, it's like no-one really believed in the whole thing and just went through the motions the director asked them to.But hey, I DID like the house (the neat villa, not the haunted one). It deserved a better movie.
