Badly written, badly paced and badly acted.It's like they had 30 minutes worth of material and tried to spread it out into an hour and a half. Much of the dialog seemed ad-libbed or written by someone who doesn't actually interact with other people.The plot was forced and the "twist" was so obvious as to not be a twist at all.The only slightly redeeming part of the movie was Bill Mosely and even that seemed forced.The ending was so hokey and again seemed made just to lengthen the film.The final ending was laughable. Bad.
... View MoreThe Plot:Evil wreaks pure havoc and bloody murder upon Leslie Van Hooten, a beautiful young girl, and her unsuspecting fellow grad students as they make their way to her family's extravagant and yet isolated estate. Peter (Bill Moseley- Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, House of 1000 Corpses) and Irene Van Hooten (Leslie Easterbrook- The Devil's Rejects, Police Academy), the young girl's mother and father, leave the group alone for the weekend, so that she may mourn the anniversary of her boyfriend's shocking murder. But the peaceful weekend soon turns to hell when they find themselves being savagely terrorized by Cliff Rifton (Allan Kayser- Night of the Creeps, TV's Mama's Family), a crazed and recently released career criminal, and Buzz Schenk, his drug addict side kick whom are hell bent on raging a torturous killing spree. OK. So this is one of those one-year-later movies that's been done a hundred thousand times before.It's very slow in the beginning. Painfully slow with boring melodic music.Then it takes a weird violent turn but it's still not very interesting. It fact, it turns stupid. And back to being excruciatingly slow.The acting is an abomination. The inevitability factor is non existent.The movie truly sucks.
... View MoreThe lowdown is... this is an attempt to make a Rob Zombie-style grindhouse horror movie... by someone with absolutely no clue of what makes those films work. Really, I'll watch some awful horrid garbage and manage to find SOMETHING I liked about it... but I just could not manage that here. Mostly I'm going to blame the writing/directing. Nearly all modern movies look fairly decent... good technology and loads of film school graduates who know how to use it (even if they haven't a clue how to tell a story). The acting... it was hard to tell. A lot of it seemed awfully flat... but the script was so utterly putrid and it's not apparent there was an actual director on set... so... I'm loathe to blame the performers.Just plain bad... and not even the fun sort of bad.
... View MoreThis has to be THE worst movie i ever saw !!! So bad, i can't even find the words to describe it. Stay away and save your time. Do NOT watch it even if you don't have anything better to do. bad script, bad acting, bad idea for a movie. What the hell was going on the director's mind when he decided to make this movie, is beyond me. Once again...Stay away !!! Now, in order to get this review submitted,i needed to write at least ten lines, but it is difficult to write ten lines about a movie which is so bad. There wasn't even one actor in this movie who could save it from getting the worst review i ever had to give. This is how bad it is !! I only watched it till the end because i had to find out how law, cheesy and stupid it could get.
