Zombieland Review

9/10 

In 2009, "Zombieland" took the world by surprise, and became known as one of the funniest horror films ever. I personally love this film, because of its extreme gore, clever dialogue, fantastic cast, and hilarious antics. It was another one of my first horror movies, and I have loved it for years. 

The beginning is one of my favorite scenes of the movie, and it shows the many rules of surviving a zombie apocalypse. My favorite one is when he says that you need to have good cardio, and then the fat guy gets eaten.  This makes me laugh every time I watch the movie, because it is so sudden and well timed. 

In the next few minutes, we meet two characters.  The first one is named Columbus, and he is played by Jessie Eisenberg.  He is shown as a smart man, but he is also pretty weak and scared of a lot of things.  The next character is named Tallahassee, and he is played by Woody Harrelson.  He is a very tough man, and is the polar opposite of Columbus. The relationship between the two is absolutely hilarious, because Tallahassee has an initial disgust for the soft personality of his counterpart. They slowly start to become friends though, and Columbus begins to really look up to Tallahassee.  On their journey for survival, they meet two girls named Wichita(Emma Stone) and Little Rock(Abigail Breslin).  Columbus immediately falls Wichita, but what he doesn't know is that her and her sister are both con artists.  After a trick that they pull on the boys, they steal all of their possessions and drive away.  Luckily, the girls change their mind and let the boys drive with them.  The addition of these characters was absolutely perfect, because they added so much sarcasm, and they were very interesting people. The relationship between Tallahassee and Wichita is absolutely priceless, because they butt heads constantly, and become each other's nemesis.  I feel that this is relevant because of the fact that they are so similar, that they can't get along at all. 

While the movie is a horror film in nature, it is also one of the most intentionally hilarious things I have ever seen. There are so many classic scenes of comedy, and they're outrageous in a way that I will never forget.  Tallahassee's whole side story with the Twinkies is awesome, because it is so random, yet it fits so well in the movie. The whole part in Bill Murray's mansion is perfect, because his presence just automatically makes in hilarious.  My favorite line from the movie came from his mouth, and it was when he said his only regret in life was "Garfield."  Being the movie is so funny, it is hard to take any dramatic moments seriously, which caused me to laugh at scenes that many people should be sad about.  This isn't bad at all, but it probably wasn't what was meant to be intended. 

The gore in this film was fantastic, because it was excessive and nasty.  Every kill was full of guts flying, and there were also many graphic scenes of cannibalism.  While the scenes aren't scary, they're still cool as can be, and they look fantastic.  Along with the gore, the zombie effects looked so realistic, and the actors themselves were convincing as they could possibly be.  I was so glad about how the effects and gore turned out, because it really reminded me of the classic movies that I love. They weren't ruined by stupid CGI, but it was an authentically bloody mess, and it made me proud. 

The film's soundtrack was one to praise, because of the awesome old music that was used. There was "Everybody Wants Some" by Van Halen, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" by Willie Nelson, and many others.  This added so much energy to the film, because the high octane rock music really pumps you up, and makes the film all the more cool. 

The only weakness I really saw was an awful mistake by the writers. There is a scene where Emma Stone says "in 1997, I saw my first R rated movie; Anaconda." Every time I hear this line, I want to throw something at the television, because "Anaconda" was rated PG-13, and it still is to this day. While this isn't a movie ruiner in any standard, it was a stupid mistake, and it ticks me off quite a bit. 

Overall I really love this movie. There is fantastic cast, gut busting humor, great gore, and an all around high quality film. I highly recommend it to any movie buff, because I think you will enjoy it immensely.  It is definitely one of the funniest movies in the horror-comedy genre, and one of the best zombie movies ever made. 

Summer School Review

9/10

One of the things that teenagers dread more than anything is summer school. What would make it even worse is if your dreams during class were some of the most brutal things that a mind could think of.  This 2006 horror depicts this, and it has become a pretty highly regarded independent film.  I enjoyed the film a lot for its outrageous gore, high energy, and careful craftsmanship in moviemaking.

The movie begins by showing a young student named Charles sitting in his classroom alone during summer school.  He is shown to be very bored, so he starts to write down grades for horror movies that he puts on his website. This really caught my attention right away, because my website is something I'm very passionate about, and this kid is the same way.  I also liked it because he was talking about horror films in one, and I love when movies do that, because it's a lot of fun. 

In the next scene, we meet the rest of his summer school class, including his friends Steve, Dennis, and a girl named Lindsey. The top two are idiots that were forced to come by the court, and Lindsey is a girl that attracts Charles a lot. Charles is a very smart guy, and he doesn't need to be in summer school at all. The only reason he is doing it is so he can get Physics over with before the school year starts. 

The film starts to get weird as Charles is strapped down, and is being tortured by his friends. They're beating him, and scaring the heck out of him, until he finds out that it was just a dream.  As he falls asleep time and time again, the dreams get even weirder. He sees his friends get killed, he is put in a cocoon type of thing, and he is attacked by monsters. These dreams really start to terrify Charles a lot, because he can actually feel the pain in real life. This is such a great storyline, because no matter how scary the events taking place are, Charles is able to wake up out of it.  It gets very confusing at times, as he has dreams inside of dreams, and just adds to the horror.  

The first great thing about this film is the gore. It is gruesome, realistic, and plentiful. One of the grossest scenes in my opinion was when a Charles slices a patch of black on his skin, and blood starts to come out like crazy.  For a film with such a low budget, this greatness really impressed me, and it reminded me of 80's horror gore. 

The cast was pretty good in my opinion, because they kept pretty authentic by not overplaying their roles.  Simon Wallace was the lead character Charles, and he did a great job of starting off as a normal teen, and turning into a complete psycho. The actors portraying the Nazis were other favorites of mine, because they gave such a cold and brutal performance that I felt like I was really watching Hitler. 

The way that the film was shot is so cool, because even though there was a definite darkness in the tone, there is also a bright light that shines on everything. One of the greatest examples of this are the scene in the rednecks' land. The sun really beats down in everyone, and it gives such a gritty tone to the scenes. The slow motion and other cinematic effects were also so fantastic, because they really added to the brutality of the film. 

The last twelve minutes of the movie were absolutely shocking. There was killings all over the place, and a lot of intensity.  I feel that that the scene was like this to show how much the horror movies had taken over Charles' life, and how his sadistic mindset caused his fate.  It ended on a "what the heck" moment, and like I've said many times, that is the best way for a horror film to end. 

Definitely check this film out, because it is a fresh, energetic, and gory mess of a horror movie, and it was truly genius. It had a great cast, great effects, great cinematography, and everything else that could be wanted in a film of the genre. I really think that any fan of the slasher genre will have loads of fun with this movie, and that they won't be disappointed at all. 

The Nurse Review

3/10

"The Nurse" was a 1997 horror film about a nurse that wipes out a family as revenge to the man responsible for the suicide of her father.  I really did not like this film at all, because of its "made for television" feel, and the fact that it was often very boring.

The film starts out on a sad note, as we see a nurse named Laura Hanniman's father kill himself and his son and wife, because of an embezzlement scandal that was going to put him in jail for years.  This scene is absolutely heartbreaking to watch, because of the pain that everyone is going through. The man that was responsible for the scandal's beginning then finds out about the tragedy, and he suffers a massive stroke that will leave him paralyzed.  I actually felt sympathy for this man, whom is named Bob Martin, because he never wanted this to happen at all, and this was such a blow to him. Laura is them seen hard and angry after the funeral, and she said that she hopes that Bob dies, and she ends up "treating" him at the hospital, where she threatens him and wishes that he suffers terribly. This really set the tone that this movie was going to be intense, and I felt it was much needed. 

The movie really starts to get crazy when Laura kills the nurse that was taking care of Bob by shooting her up with a bunch of Potassium Chloride.  While this scene is completely bloodless, it is still pretty brutal in nature, and it was a great first kill. The thing that makes it very painful to watch is paralyzed Bob in the back of the car, because he had nothing that he could possibly do at all to help himself or Jane. 

One of the impressive factors of the film was the cast. The lead role of Laura; played by Lisa Zane was very well done, because she had a very great way of putting on a fake self to hide her pyschopathic nature.  I think it was a good choice to have a lesser known actress in the role, because it give more of an authentic feeling. Another actor that I found to be very good was John Stockwell as Jack Martin.  He portrayed a very likable character, and he was extremely pretty realistic in his portrayal. Although Michael Fairman doesn't have many lines in his role of Bob, he has a really great way of showing his anger with his facial expressions as he looked at Laura.  The words were not needed at all, and he was a character that I felt a lot of sympathy for. 

While the plot of the story is interesting for the most part, the film really has the vibe of a Lifetime movie.  This turned me off a lot, because this took away from the quality greatly, and it was harder to take the film seriously. One of the biggest factors in this flaw is the music. It is so cheesy in every possible way, and it has been used in about 1000 horrible TV movies. 

Quite honestly, I don't get why this film was rated R. The violence was actually extremely weak. There was not one drop of blood, and there was nothing too brutal. For a horror movie, I would expect a lot more, especially for the era it was made in.  While I think the suspense that is built kind of makes up for this in a sense, I still wish that things were a little crazier.  The one scene that I will call an exception to this was when Laura slit a man's throat open. While it wasn't gory, there was still a very gruesome feeling to the scene. 

The ending of this film lacked immensely.  There was so much potential for something really crazy to happen, but like any other crappy horror film, they had to take the easy route and make a happy ending. I can't stand when the movies do this, because it takes away any of the shock that happened before, and makes the finished product feel like a fairy tale.  

Overall, there was a couple things I liked about this film. There was a really great cast, and a decent enough plot, but the movie in general sucked. There was a very unprofessional feel to it, and I won't ever understand how it became a motion picture.  The film was also lacking in shock, and it had one of the worst endings I've ever seen.  Please do not waste your time with this overlong piece of crap, because it is not worth it at all. 

Hide and Creep Review

9.5/10

"Hide and Creep" is a 2004 independent horror comedy, and it tells stories of zombies, aliens, and other horror related subjects.  The movie was praised by critics at its time, and was a hit at movie festivals.

The first scene was very clever, because it gave many references to classic films. It takes place in a video store, and the owner is on a phone call talking about zombie movies he has seen. I really liked this a lot, because it showed the filmmakers' true passion for the genre. In the next few minutes, the zombie attacks begin.  I really like the way that they were done, because the music and movements of it all was extremely satirical, and it was very enjoyable to watch.  The zombies are also pretty cool looking, because while they don't look like normal humans, they also weren't overdone at all.

This film is one of the best horror-comedies I've ever seen, because the humor is so diverse.  There are jokes for everyone, because there are inside jokes for horror fans, and other scenes that would make anyone laugh. This is perfect, because the movie is accessible for anyone, and it was absolutely genius.  The humor was actually very dry at times, and very reliant on sarcasm.  I enjoyed this a lot, being its my style. There were also moments that were just absolutely outrageous, and these were hysterical on all levels.  A lot of people call "Zombieland" the iconic horror-comedy, and while I find it to be great, this one is much much funnier. 

The gore in this film is to the max, and while its lighthearted, there is still a gruesome sense to it.  There is ripping of skulls, eating of body parts, graphic bloody shootings, etc. I really like this a lot, because the blood and guts were very well made, and I could still take it somewhat seriously. 

The cast was absolutely perfect, because they were hilarious, and they could keep a straight face throughout everything.  I imagine that this would be so hard to do, because some the lines are laugh out loud, but they stay completely stoic the whole time. My personal favorite actor of the film was Chuck Hartsell, whom played the role of Chuck. He had a fantastic way about him, and his subtle humor was perfect.  The other standout in my opinion was Kyle Holman in the role of Keith.  He did a great job in playing the tough, gung ho zombie killer, and he was surprisingly likable. Barry Austin was absolutely perfect in the role of Reverend Smith, because while you can tell that he wants to be good and honest in his profession in the church, it is quite obvious that he has an utter disgust for the people in the congregation, because of their rude and selfish ways. 

Another factor to the film that I really liked was the multiple stories that took place. Instead of boring us with one plot, we get an individual look at certain groups throughout the entire film. It was almost like the "Pulp Fiction" of horror.  This is a further reason for the film being one of the best horror flicks I have ever watched. 

If there was one weakness I could find in the film, it would be the ending.  Just minutes before, there was the true introduction of the UFO's in the movie, and I thought there would be a cool ending where they actually showed them. This never happened though, and I felt the ending came way too soon.  Whole the ending itself was good, I just wish there was some more that happened, because the movie was enjoyable enough to go on for two hours. 

I would like to do you all the favor of recommending that you watch this movie with all of my heart. It is hilarious, disgusting, and just about everything I could possibly want in this genre of film.  I promise you that it will be one of the greatest zombie movie experiences of your life.  The only one I would still put in front of it would be "Night of the Living Dead," but that is still saying a lot.  So please check this film out, because i guarantee that you won't be disappointed. 

Night of the Living Dead(1968) Review

10/10!!!!

George A. Romero is the king of the zombies(no pun intended).  Even though there were films before his time that had the topic, he was the true innovator. He made the first gruesome zombie flick ever, and it was a 1968 film called "Night of the Living Dead."  This is one of my favorite horror movies ever.  It is a shocking, and extremely fun piece of cinema, and it was the first movie of its kind that I had ever watched.  

The movie starts off with a bang, and it engrosses the viewer right off the bat.  We meet Johnny, and his sister Barbra.  The two of them are visiting their father's grave, and they converse with each other.  Things seem completely normal, until a man starts walking around the graveyard. Johnny walks over to him, and the zombie kills him.  Barbra runs away, and she locks herself in the car. The zombie tries to break in, and Barbra runs away until she finds an abandoned house.  This first ten minutes is so iconic, mainly because of the car scene(which has been mocked and repeated so many times).  Everything is just so exciting though, and it is one of my favorite beginnings ever.

As Barbra hides in this house, an African American man named Ben comes in. He is also hiding from the zombies, but he is a very strong and capable man.  He takes it upon himself to board up the entire house, as a way of saving themselves.  What they don't know yet is the strength of these zombies, and the number of them that will try to take them down.  The viewers also meet five other characters later in the film. Two of their names are Harry and Helen, and they are husband and wife.  Their daughter is also featured, and her name is Karen. The other two are a couple, and their names are Judy and Tom.  Throughout the rest of the film, these seven characters try their best to save each other, but their chances are not likely at all.  The plot is such an intense story, and although it's been used many times after, it was very original for its day of age. 

The cast was extremely talented, and each of them really gave a convincing portrayal of fear and anger.  The standout for me was Duane Jones as Ben.  It was uncommon for an African American to be to the hero of movies at this time, but he did such a great job. He was smart, resourceful, and extremely tough. He was also the most likable character of the film, and it was easy to admire his tenacity.  Judith O' Dea was the other lead in the film, and while she did a good job. Her character was absolutely terrible.  While revolutions were made with Ben, the character of Barbra is one of the most sexist and stereotypical roles I've ever seen. She was weak, dumb, and annoying as she could possibly be.  She is shown to be incapable of doing anything, and it was a wonder she lived as long as she did.  The other actor I really liked in the film was Karl Harden(Harry). He was a very angry man, and it made me laugh a lot.  Harden was a great character actor, and he gives everything you could want in the role.

Even though the film is quite tame by today's standards, it was extremely graphic for its time. There is gory wounds, eating of body parts, stabbings, etc, and it is still quite a gruesome film. I really give a lot of credit to it for this, because a lot was risked.  There was the chance that people were going to hate the movie, and that it would flop immensely.  Even though critics didn't like the gore at the time, this has changed, and it is now known as one of the greatest horror films ever. 

Being the film was made in the late 60's, black and white footage was still used. I really like this for the movie, because it gave a very grainy and dark look, and it was surprisingly realistic to life.  Instead of watching a movie, I feel like I'm actually there, and it adds to the horror extensively.  I honestly don't know why the black and white is special in this one, but it really set itself apart from other films of its type, and it was the best in my opinion. 

One of the things that I really liked in the film was the way that the radio and televisions in the house almost work as a narrator to what is happening. It made things very tense, and it was a genius move.  I feel that it was influential, because "American Graffiti" did a very similar practice years later. 

The most amazing part of the film in my opinion is the closing scene. I have never been so shocked by anything before. I remember watching the movie for the first time, and I literally yelled at the tv because of what happened.  There has never been a better ending of a movie before, and I don't think there ever will be again. 

I will make this conclusion very simple. Watch. This. Film.  If you want to be a true horror film, then there is no escaping this.  It is the absolute gateway to all films of the genre, and it is a true masterpiece. I may have to call it my second favorite horror flick, only behind "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." I promise all of you that this film will not disappoint you in any sense. Be prepared for a gruesome, shocking, and iconic film from the master himself..... George A Romero. 

Meadowoods Review

7.5/10

"Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself." James Anthony Froude- Historian.

The quote above is the first words of this 2010 indie horror flick. "Meadowoods" has not been a largely known film by the public. It was direct to video, and it will never have the same notoriety as a classic like "Halloween."  It is a movie about the sadistic mindset of three teens that killing someone is a way to have a good time.  While aspects of the film were stereotypical, there is a lot of originality in the storyline, and I enjoyed this movie a lot. 

In the first scenes of the movie, we meet the main characters Ryan, Travis, and Stephanie.  They tell us about how their lives were boring and miserable, and that then we're going to liven things up by killing someone. They depict the many factors that will go into their plan including; age, gender, the way they will do it, etc.  This plot is so disturbing in my opinion, because these kids don't even know the extent of what they're doing. They almost make the killing of this person seem like it will be a game. It is also a very original plot for a horror film, because instead of seeing people just randomly die, we know everything that is going to happen to them. 

The film revolves around the three characters for the majority of the time, and in this, we find out a lot about them.  While their characterizations weren't original at all, they worked very well for the film itself. Travis is the crazy one of the friends.  He is constantly goofy, and he doesn't show any distress at all in the killing.  He is also a bully to Ryan, as he constantly brings him down with demeaning comments.  It is also shown that he doesn't have many people that care about him, and it has made his life meaningless. Stephanie hates everyone and everything in the world. She is extremely troubled because of harm done to her, and she lacks any kindness at all.  She believes that the killing is totally just, because "everything gets hurt at some point of their life."  Ryan is the outcast of the group. He is quiet, insecure, and he does not want the killing to happen.  He ends up falling for the target, and he gets pushed away even more. He is the only one that has a realistic idea of what it going on, and he knows how terrible it is.  He is also very melancholy, because of the fact that his parents are never there for him. They leave town constantly, and don't give the time of day to him. I feel like the only reason he hangs around with Travis and Stephanie is that they are the only ones that pay attention to him at all,  regardless of how terrible they are to him.  The only other character we get to know is Kayla; the potential victim of the killing.  She is interviewed by Ryan, and we get to see a lot of the facts of her life. She is extremely smart, beautiful, and musically talented.  She has great plans for her future, and she is an all around great person.  It is so sad to see this, because if they kill her, then a person with so much potential will just be wasted. Her dark side is the insecurities of feeling that she will be alone forever, even with the knowledge that many people care about her. The four of these characters are almost like "The Breakfast Club," because they fit a category very well, and they try to get each other to express their feelings. 

The actors portraying the characters were all fantastic in my opinion.  Michael Downey was very well suited for the role of Ryan, because he had a great way of showing his sadness, and he kept his performance pretty low key.  This was totally necessary, because his lack of opening up really showed how much he was just going through the motions with the others. You can really see the toll that this whole thing takes on him, because by the last half of the film, he becomes fed up with his former friends, and he just ditches them.  Connor Thorp was absolutely awesome in the role of Travis. He was so professional, that I wouldn't want to meet him in real life. The way that he portrayed the sadistic qualities of this character was extremely crazy, because he showed no regret at all in what he was doing, and he could also portray his anger immensely.  Kerry Goodwin was exceptional in her role of Stephanie, because she had such a dark way about her. You could tell her anger towards everything, and the many depressions she seems to face. My favorite cast member was definitely Ila Schactler in the role of Kayla.  She started out as such an easy going person, but she made a complete transition in acting as a person being tortured. She showed so much fear and anguish, and her performance gave me the chills.

The movie was shot in documentary format, so it had the same look as films like "Blair Witch Project." While I'm not usually a fan of this type of movie, I could make an exception for this one, because the shaky cameras were completely necessary in the sense that most of the film was from the videos that Ryan was making. It also gives us a feeling that we are watching through his eyes, and it was extremely neat. 

There was not one instance of blood or gore in this film.  Regardless of this, the last half of the film was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. The torture is not violent in the way you would usually think, but it really messes with the mind of Kayla.  The box technique was absolutely horrifying, because it was so claustrophobic, and her fear was insane.  I love the way this scene was shot, because for a lot of it, the screen was completely black, and the only sense you could use was hearing. This made so much room for imagination as to what Kayla was going through.  When the light came on, things were still dim, yet now you could see how small of a space this really was.  So while this isn't your typical slasher film, it is extremely brutal for this reason. 

The ending shocked me a lot.  I was expecting a much different outcome, but this one was really awesome. Instead of giving you the happy ending that was wanted, this film left you on such a sad note that it isn't something that will never be forgotten. 

I liked this film a lot. There was a super interesting storyline, a fantastic cast, and some horrifying scenes. While I think some things were generic as could be, it was a small blemish in an otherwise awesome film. The fact that a direct to video film could be this great really impressed me, and I recommend it to all of you for sure. 

The Inflicted Review

6.5/10

Doug Bradley became a household name of all horror fans from his role in "Pinhead" in the 80's horror series "Hellraiser." As I have found from this 2012 film, he is still going strong.  "The Inflicted" was a great horror movie from our time, and I feel that even though there are many mistakes throughout the film, it is still a lot of fun. 

The film itself starts very strangely, with the event of a father pushing his daughter into a pool, and letting her drown. This is disturbing to think of, because parents are supposed to love their children.  The worst part of the whole scene was that the father held his son back from saving her.

A large time gap occurs, and we see this young boy grown up. His name is David O' Hara, and he is a very intelligent medical student.  He is also very good with the ladies, and he even gets a beautiful girl named Melissa to come to his apartment.  Regardless of the positive things I have mentioned above, it is obvious that there is something wrong with him.  

The two students proceed to make love, and everything seems okay.  Things get weird as David kidnaps Melissa and ties her wrists to the ceiling.  He then tells her that he wants her to bore a child of his, so he can finally be a better father than his own was.  He also stated that if she refused, then he would kill her.  Out of fear, she accepts, but is then saved by an officer.  David then runs away, and resides at his father's house so he doesn't get caught.  These scenes were extremely disturbing, because of the sadistic and dark nature that surrounds it.  I found everything to be extremely interesting, and I was totally engrossed to see what happened next. 

The cast of this film was satisfactory. There were some weak links, but overall there was a lot of talent that portrayed a lot of emotion.  The writer and director of the film Matthan Harris did a really great job in the lead role of David.  He was like an emotional chameleon, because he could go from a suave gentleman to a complete pyscho with no effort at all.  Lindsay Hightower also did a great job in this film, by portraying the main protagonist Melissa Daniels.  She makes us feel so much sympathy, because of constant bad luck, whether it was the fate of her child she bore, or the torture she goes through with David.  Bill Moseley did an outstanding job in the role of David's father. The thing that really stuck out to me about his performance was the way that he could make us forget the fact that he was just as bad as David. A murderer of his daughter, and an accessory to the crimes of his son, he is a pretty rotten person.  We are tricked though by his sensitive side.  Whenever he sheds tears, we see an artificial goodness in him, and he tries his best to convince that he had reasons for his wrongdoings.  Doug Bradley worked well for his role of Agent Wilson, because he could give a fast and aggressive delivery to his dialogue, and he was a very convincing detective.  Sid Haig was decent in my opinion. He made his character of Doctor Gardner very likable, but it was hard to take him seriously at some points with the thought of his more evil roles in the back of my mind. 

This film featured some great slasher moments. There was lots of blood and gore, and very cool weapons were used to make this possible. Along with these scenes, there were plenty of other things to make this film sick and horrific. There were assaults, deaths of children, and the dismemberment of bodies.  This was one of the most twisted horror movies I've ever seen, and even though I enjoyed it a lot, some of it was a little bit much. 

One of the main weaknesses I could find spot was the film's score.  It was such a cheesy instrumentation, and it sounds like a sample track that can be found on Windows Media Player.  I honestly feel that an annoying vibe was created because of this mistake, and it dragged some of the scenes down a lot. 

Another weakness that came up a few times was some of the filming.  While the majority of the film looked great, there was a couple scenes that bugged me greatly.  The first one was the party scene.  The screen was a little too clear for my taste, and it made things look fake. The second scene I noticed immediately was the news scene. The color scheme looked terrible with the camera quality, and it looked like an iMovie. While there was only a couple scenes that ran into this problem, they were really apparent to me, and it affected the entire film as a whole.

Overall, I enjoyed this film a lot. There was an interesting plot, great cast, and some great slasher scenes. I did notice quite a few weaknesses along away, and while they were grating, they didn't screw the film up to the point that I didn't like it.  I recommend checking this little known film out, but I warn you that there are some touchy subjects that come up throughout the film, and are not for the faint of heart at all.
