The film starts out with an incident at a mental hospital and then changes. The hospital has been converted into a retreat where a company is holding a getaway to brainstorm increased production. The cast of politically incorrect characters and comments made the film interesting. Teddy (Eli Bildner) and Lira (Devon Ogden) are polar opposites who annoy everyone. Rita (Trista Robinson) has a high squeaky voice and loves Jesus.The connection of the past to the present was not as clever as the writers thought and the climax ruined a great cast of characters. I give credit to the director and cast, but the plot wasn't exciting.Guide: F-bomb, sex, distant nudity ( Devon Ogden?)

Just watched this. Holy Cow.It tries really hard but neither the writer, director nor actors have ever seen how humans behave. It might have been written by a top secret corporate A.I. as part of a Turing test but it sure wasn't written by a human who had seen how other humans talk and act. That might explain the writing but the acting and direction still lack explanation.The actual plot mechanics are pretty good and the story does actually make sense, for what it is. The lighting and photography are excellent. Other than that it's a bit like watching that Dennis Potter play where adult actors read lines written for eight-year-old children, except that here the mental age looks like nearer to eleven.I have this theory that every film, no matter how bad it is, will always have at least one moment that is startling, that makes you raise your eyebrows, something that you haven't seen before and that you suddenly respect because it is new in an industry ripe with plagiarism and repetition. This film has one such moment. Can you guess which it is?

Did we watch the same movie? This did not have any porn elements in it. Not even close. It had some short sex scene that showed nothing and a boob flash but that is it. Who ever thinks anything close to a porn for this movie is stupid.The whole movie was dumb as they come or one of the worst and to consider it even a horror is dumb. It had lame of hardly any gore and the action was not hardly any. It dragged for a whole 60 minutes and then still was bad.The ending was not much of an ending. People that like slow horror movies would love this and if you don't then why do you like them in the first place? Acting was seriously bad as heck. The accent girl was terrible.None of the actors worked well together. Director must of thought, "What the hell?" and just did it anyways. Just a quick buck. Wrong Turn series has more porn elements than this movie.

This movie looks like and feels like a crappy porn movie. The acting is stilted and borderline offensive in it's inadequacy (the girl with the fake English accent is horrendous), the director did not seem to know what the hell he was doing, the script comes off as bad fan fiction, and the movie itself is predictable, clichéd and asinine. I mean, what were these people thinking? Did the actors really read this script and tell themselves, "I will be proud to add this to my resume?". If they did, it's no wonder I have never seen anyone act in anything else. Your poor judgment will be detrimental to your careers if you keep taking these skid-marked roles. Learn to say no when a script is garbage. Ask questions and offer insight as to how you can enhance the writer's vision. But, above all else, never work on another project ever again. I have seen porn films with better acting than this movie, and the FEW instances of blood and gore are so few and far between as to make this a XXX feature without any sex, class or creative vision. Just a freaking mess from beginning to end. I offer nothing but vomit for this travesty. May it be forgotten like the cesspool of talent it is.
