When a group of girlfriends on a bachelorette party in Mexico get stranded out in the desert, they find themselves seeking shelter in an abandoned shrine built by a deranged madman and his psychotic followers and slowly find themselves succumbing to the whims of the spiritual followers still residing there.This turned out to be a pretty disappointing effort, mostly hurt by the fact that this one's so short it really can't get a whole lot in or explore the potential of it's ideas by it's brevity and extremely short amount of time actually at the location. The fact that the girls' out-on-the-town hijinks takes up the first thirty-forty minutes in a movie barely over an hour, which when coupled with the second subplot about the left-behind friend trying to rescue them, makes even less scenes in the location which compiles barely fifteen minutes of screen time, the majority of that coming from the rescue attempt at the end. That leaves us to see the results of what happened in the location but the desired actions, as the aftermath makes it look highly enjoyable had we seen it played out. With a weak back-story that's hardly explained and a decided lack of on-screen help from others beyond merely repeating the same thing over-and-over again, this one doesn't have a lot going for it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a mild sex scene.

This movie has got to be one of the worst, if not the worst horror films of all time. Not only does it not incite any form of terror, but is a script basically written by a kindergartener:Old Woman: Your friends are at a resort Heroine A: What kind of resort?Basically the story revolves around a group of girls who take off to an island paradise for their friend's bachelorette party, within minutes they are all partying like crazy, eating cake, getting soused, and making moves on random guys who claim to be movie producers, one of which comes clean about being a school teacher minutes later and is quickly bedded. As our main heroine (not the bachelorette) is making footprints on the ceiling her friends continue to get soused and decide to take a tour of the island with two locals the next morning. After driving for a short while one of the tour guides pulls a gun and tries to rob them, two of the four girls run from the car, one pulls her cell phone to call her friend and the other just screams. The bachelorette manages to run furthest from the car before getting shot and wounded... Meanwhile we see our main heroine get the message from her friend and immediately dial 911 to get laughed at because her friends were missing for only four hours. The girls are dropped in a barren wasteland and wander to find a resort. Within minutes inside the resort they begin to insult each other and call each other names for no apparent reason. The haunting of the resort is lazily explained in a random note found in a room with very weak flashback scenes. I could go on and on but I don't want to feel dumber. The ending is weak, and if this film thinks it can define stir crazy over just a few minutes of being in a given location it is sorely mistakened. This movie completely misses in terms of fear and terror, and should stop trying to be like "The Shining" immediately.

5 young girls go to Mexico for a bachelorette party. They drink, party, and hook up. The next morning, four of them go on a sigthseeing tour and end up getting robbed and left for dead. The fifth girl has to track her friends down with the help of two vacationing party boys.That was the setup. Then, in the second half of the movie, it turns into "The Shining." The girls take refuge in a deserted town which turns out to be an evil place with a history. It causes people to go insane and do violent things such as kill friends, eat body parts, and have sex with dead bodies. When the fifth girl and the boys finally find the four friends, they are already totally crazy. Sophia, played by America Olivo (who I liked in Bitch Slap), tries to rescue her friends but ends up going crazy, too.Not much of a story. The girls are like five versions of one character with nothing to distinguish them from one another. I fast-forwarded through a lot of it and I don't feel like I missed anything. Boring, routine thriller that fails to have any effect on the viewer.

Two days in a row I've been burned by DVD artwork. There are no scenes of a sexy woman in a bikini anywhere in this movie. Why do these movies portray scenes on the DVD art that do not exist anywhere in the movie? It's bait and switch! The acting was mediocre, and the story line was just dumb. The "club" was not believable. It wasn't playing music you would expect to hear at a tourist club, and there were about 7 people there. This movie is so low budget they couldn't even afford to pay enough extras to fill the club. And why cast good looking women if you're not going to show any skin?? Even if they don't have nudity, at least give us them in bikinis at the beach. You may have well cast 5 dudes instead. Girls partying in Mexico and not even a bikini shot??? Who are the idiots who make these movies?? The story line is loosely played out, and it's up to the viewer to figure out what exactly is happening to the girls at the resort. The idea is good, but not done well in any shape or form. A terrible movie. DO NOT RENT!!!
