bluesteele Yes this is a below average slasher copy flick, but it DOES feature the semi-legendary Rutger Hauer AND it has just recently been revealed in the Denver metropolitan area that one of the original financers of this film is Steve Atwater--potential hall of famer Denver Bronco's safety and one of the cast members is legendary Denver Bronco cornerback Ray Crockett!For long time fans of the Denver Broncos, this is more than enough to establish this near-forgotten movie as a cult classic! If you love the Broncos, you owe it to your fandom status to watch this movie!
puzzle10 This is a very good film. High production values; good direction. There are really good scares and lots of tension. Plus there is a lot of gore throughout.It has a violent montage in the opening credits which seems a bit gonzo -- but it does grab your attention and works for the plot. It's odd, most reviewers are claiming this film is just a "Scream" rip-off. Not at all. It does have a twist that is almost identical to a famous 1981 slasher, but it is well updated and put to good use.Another oddity: reviewers are claiming the film has a bad script and/or bad acting. I don't get it. This film is well cast and the acting is really on the mark. As for the script -- it made perfect sense to me. No holes in it at all. One last note -- this film isn't a throw-back to the 80s. The film feels up to date. Gay characters aren't just there for comedic relief. The black characters are real, interesting and sympathetic. I think the film avoids clichés while still working within the constraints of the genre.I will definitely watch this film again.
artpf If Scream was never made, this would be a really good movie.Unfortunately it is completely a rip off of the movie.Similar plot and the slasher even looks like the scream guy! I mean, no mask but his jacket's hood is the same shape as the scream mask! It's sort of insulting that the similarity is so close.Too bad too since as a stand along movie, it is actually tight and interesting. I would have given it 8 stars.But you can't completely steal another movie's plot and expect to get a good review!Next time, hire a better script writer!
johnslegers Put a bunch of typical (read : annoying) teenagers partying in a huge mansion, feed them with alcohol and sex and let an axe murderer ruin the party. That's pretty much the idea.Although there are some huge plot holes and the characters are too unlikable too care for, this didn't ruin the entertainment value for me. The atmosphere and style of this film is very reminiscent of "All the boys love Mandy Lane" as well as the old fashioned '80s slasher films. If this is what you're looking for, you're probably gonna enjoy this film. However, don't expect it to be anything more than that. It sure as h*** ain't no Shakespeare (to stick with the ghetto language of some of this film's characters).
