This was actually shown in local cinemas with the very unconventional title of "Shocking Zellwood." Thinking it was probably a quirky horror film, I gave it a go. Big mistake.At the very start, we see a dreamlike sex fantasy gone terribly awry, where an aroused fellow gets more than what he bargained for from the two buxom playmates who tied him to the bedposts. That unbearably squeamish first scene which surely got every guy in the theater looking away and holding on to their family jewels was arguably already the best scene. The film goes downhill from there.Two young couples take off to an isolated countryside destination for a fun weekend of camping. What they thought to be a quiet and private holiday turns out to be a violent and bloody gore-fest beyond anybody's wildest nightmares. The entire first half of the film was a lot of stupid sweet nothings from the two couples. That was a boring waste of time, except maybe for the visual presence of the sexy lead actresses, Sarah Jean Underwood and Patricia Rosales. But when the bizarre torture and killing scenes start, the stabbings, nailing, and cutting result in unnaturally gushing bloodbaths. People expecting some more eroticism as shown in the first scene will be disappointed.I like horror films, but definitely NOT the gore sub-genre. The lousy hammy acting of everyone on screen made every thing worse than it was on paper. The revelation of who does the killings is not exactly brilliant, but at least the writer had a sense of crazy humor about it. Strictly only for gore fanatics.
... View MoreSometimes you just got to stop and actually pay heed to the reviews that you stumble upon here and there, and also to the low rating that a movie scores. But as taste and preference is a matter of personal opinion, you just got to take a chance every now and again."Deadly Weekend" was not worth the chance at all. This is really an unfathomably slow and dimwitted movie that requires absolutely nothing from the audience. Just unhook all mental capacity, then you are ready for this movie.Oh, and you might want to brace yourself for about an hour and a half of absolutely nothing worthwhile. The storyline was forced and wooden, leaving no room for any surprises, twists or even unforeseen turn of events.The acting in the movie, well, I have seen worse, but there is a mighty gap from what was portrayed in this movie up to something that was passable as mediocre.As for the effects, well, then they worked out well enough, and those were basically everything that had any leverage in this movie. And there was a fair amount of blood and mayhem in the movie to peak some gorehound's interest. But it was hardly sufficient to carry the rest of the movie.It was as if this movie was a remnant from a mid 1980's horror movie, where they piled together unused footage and ideas.For a thriller / horror movie, then "Deadly Weekend" was a rather boring and uneventful addition to the history of cinema.
... View MoreAt first I thought thriller / bit of horror movie can bring something different. I was wrong, this movie is load of crap, story line was sucks and bad acting all around. Too fake. The setting for this movie is really bad, not interesting and looks all around the same place. Story line need to be extended in a broad view, bringing more accessories / props too. In my opinion this movie can be expanded to a whole new level with more budget and good story line, never mind the bad acting. The only good thing in this movie is Sara Jean Underwood, sadly no intimate actions. Probably the actress need to find different movie approach, not horror / thriller but maybe comedy and love drama, will suit her even better.

Boo ha ha No is not a great movie, it is not even fun, it is boring and predictable. Friends go to the woods, they have fun, they are half dressed, they fight for something and the killing starts! OK there is a small twist if you can call it a twist but the movie is so flat that it really doesn't make a difference. So pretty much it's the same story over and over and over and over and over and
