Traveling out to the woods, a group of friends enjoying a pre- wedding party find their weekend of fun interrupted by not only a series of deep-rooted secrets but a maniacal killer picking them off one-by- one and must find a way of getting away alive.This one here wasn't all that impressive of a slasher effort. The film's biggest misstep is the fact that this one goes off for the first half in turning into a rather pedestrian and wholly unworthwhile series of soap-opera style scenes here showing them getting together at the cabin. Not only does this have the series of incredibly bland setups with the group taking forever to get settled in which features them putting their stuff away but also going through the series of scenes showing the couples having their troubles which are so uninteresting and fill up so much screen-time that it really becomes unbearably boring and excruciating getting through here. Going through the adultery angle with the sister, the best friends' unrequited lesbian angle with each of the sisters and the brothers' money issues all are just so utterly unappealing and don't strike as the slightest bit interesting not only in just general terms of being a truly fun watch but it also manages to be quite a boring way to set-up the remaining part of the film where it turns into a nominal slasher since this doesn't come up as being in the slightest bit fun, engaging or enjoyable accomplishing this different type of set-up here leading into those slasher tropes. It's all quite a long time here going through this part of the film that in the end it's almost an hour before the first kill pops up because its spending all this time focusing on the boring and wholly unappealing soap opera work found here, and it's still not nearly enough to make the film overcome it's truly banal slasher-work found here. Not only is the main set-ups truly appalling with the short, barely-there stalking scenes that are over so quickly it's hard to pick out the actions within here but also just really making the film not that creepy or chilling despite the attempts at slashing. The endless running around the woods don't help matters, and it's really overall a pretty bland series of scenes that just makes for a troubling slasher effort overall. Coupled with the lack of rather startling gore, a wholly underwhelming mystery angle that's supposedly at the heart of the film and a criminal lack of sleaze and cheese that are tempted but never delivered upon, these here really hold this one back quite readily from what could've been. The only areas this one works at all is the actual slashing in the woods, for as bad as they are at manipulating the slasher elements here really ups the action and energy away from the banal soap-opera work before it and does deliver on some high-quantity kills in a cramped space which is quite welcomed. Still, it's got a lot of problems to readily overcome.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Brief Nudity and drug use.

Not really, but cabin in the woods is overused. Oh wait: everything shown here is overused. The soon to be husband, who might not be real marriage material, the girlfriend who has a best friend, who really is into their friendship. And so on and so on, with more stock characters. Also while it's not a bad thing, the present setting (with a bit of "mystery") with a person narrating what happened, might work for other movies, but is just another thing that doesn't work here either. Especially considering what happens at the very end ... which just happens ... for no reason at all.Anyway, there are not that many effects, though they are nicely done. Acting-wise you shouldn't expect too much. As already made clear the script is really not good either. Could've been a lot better, but as it is, a waste of time

Sometimes one wonders why he has made the effort to start watching a particular film and how he could think it would be a pleasant time waster. "Death do us part " contains elements of a slasher film and a common mystery movie. But it contains all the worst elements. A group of young people going on stag weekend in a godforsaken place far from civilization . Of course you do that if you want to keep such a party and don't want anyone to witness the riotous festivities that will erupt there , I suppose. The cheerful couple who are going to give their consent the following week is Kennedy and Ryan. She is apparently the daughter of a wealthy family (with also a mental illness apparently), and he's some loser who has more to answer for than you may suspect . They are accompanied by the sister Hannah, a good friend Emily , Ryan's best man Chet and his cousin Derek who also has a rather dark past .The welcome committee alone would already make me turn around and return to the civilization ASAP. Bo, the owner of the bungalow, is not exactly a paragon of kindness and is quite frightening and threatening. The dead starlings on the porch , he cleans up reluctantly with a spade after he concludes in an intelligent way that they are indeed dead . A terrible way to bring humor in this film , and it gave a good idea what was to follow . What ultimately was the purpose of these dead birds , I couldn't figure out . An attempt to make it lugubrious and mysterious perhaps? We can't really talk about performances. It's more like a failure in performing. The three main female characters were probably selected based on the weight of their breasts. The higher the weight, the more important the role. After a while I was even convinced that their cup-size effortlessly defeated their IQ in numbers. Totally unconvincing , and they looked like members of a youth movement running around in the threatening woods anxious and panicky.The three male protagonists tried to be tough, except Chet who behaved throughout the film as a drunken fooler. Eventually they behaved like a bunch of sissies who are running back and forth through the woods and at every suspicious noise they react like real cowards. The moment they try to flee by car and they want to check the engine was hilarious. Eventually it becomes a "who-is-now-the-main suspect" game, where you'll be put on the wrong foot a huge amount of times. Bo is of course suspicious. The guy looks a bit like Lurch from "The Addams Family", and appears every time where you least expect it and saunters around with a dangerous looking ax. Eventually, you may expect a surprising plot and a not so surprising ending. Don't expect a real massacre. That was really a major disappointment.Conclusion: A terribly bad B-movie that doesn't look like a slasher movie at all. No suspense, no gory murder scenes and a total lack of scares.More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.com/

Surprisingly enough the plot was actually kinda complex. Sure, had its holes but once the action starts you do start do wonder a thing or two. So let's begin: the acting was B+ for a horror, I was relatively impressed; the characters were maybe a tad bit cheesy, only wrong element being the "creeper". That one completely failed in my book; Camera work was good, better than your usual flick in the woods horror; plot came with a twist which shows that the producers actually put their brains at work; last but not least, death scenes, weak. Tho 3 lovely girls are involved, all of them with huge cleavages, nudity won't make an appearance here. Little blood, a few good friendly jokes and the usual "let's split and everybody run in one direction waiting for the script to decide who dies next". The reason I said C and not B will be explained once you view this. Which brings me to the next question: do I recommend it? Well, it could work if you are a fanatic in horror and you wanna add one more to the collection. In rest, although an effort was put into it, you can clearly see that it's missing the punch! Characters were indeed explored a little but in the end it had to be a horror and acted too little like one. Watch it and you'll most likely feel the same.Cheers!
