It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Vivian Fontaine (Ashley Bell) is taken hostage during A robbery of Mackin Bank (Macon already done) in southern California 1978. Prison escapees Scorpion Joe (James Landry Hébert) and is Mice and Men side kick Lenny (Michael Villar) pass through the private property of Wyatt Moss (Pat Healy) a one man militia where trespassers are hunted. At this point you get the idea as Vivian must fight for her life.This is a me-too film which starts off rather well, Tarantino grindhouse style and peters out very quickly when the only guy with personality is killed off. Vivian has a flashback to the bank, but no clever flashbacks to her time as a dirt farmer giving her skill and courage for survival.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Made as an ode to flicks from the seventies this flick sadly do has it flows. It all starts pretty well with the future and the past perfectly blend into each other but the further this one goes it turns into a few problems.I can dig the whole story so-called based on true events a bit like they did wit Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) even the color grading used reminded me of those good old exploitation flicks.But it's the ending, especially in the mines that took a bit too long for me because naturally it's pitch black in mines but it's also filmed that way. So many moments the only thing you see is a black screen. But luckily the effects used were above mediocre. There aren't that many in it but the shooting in the head and the results are really a must see for gorehounds. Don't get me wrong, it is still worth picking up but as said, the mines could have been a bit shorter, it would made it a perfect flick.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

"Brothers burn faster when they're burning together." The only positive thing about this film was Pat Healy as the crazy ex-marine Wyatt Moss, who set up his own personal amusement park somewhere in the bone-dry desert in California where he lures lost backpackers and hunts them down as a real psychotic hunter. He gratefully uses his talent as a sniper during these chases. The few times he speaks in this movie, show that he's ready for the nuthouse. Especially the dialogue with his brother, Sheriff Moss (Alan Ruck), is a memorable moment with that intonation and those facial expressions. Wyatt gave me the chills here, acting as a real psychopath. Just because of this scene, I'm planning to watch some more films with Healy playing in it.I also thought that the sometimes eerie soundtrack and sound clips reverberating from the megaphones weren't so bad. They emphasized the insane mind of Wyatt. But otherwise this was a meaningless crime film, starring a madman fascinated by religion, who has his own safari park where victims try to survive. Thus a typical survival film. The last victim here is Vivian (Ashley Bell). She was kidnapped by two layabouts who tried to rob a bank and ended up in Carnage Park. It isn't very original and to be honest, there isn't happening that much essentially. It's during her stumbling flight that Vivian discovers other victims. And surely you can expect some fragments that are similar to those in other famous horror movies.The thing that amazes me every time, is the stupidity of the main character. When you take matters into your own hand, make damn sure you do it thoroughly. Such a madman wouldn't get a second chance with me. But no, Wyatt with his gas mask (which reminded me of a CD cover from "Therapy?") resurfaces once again and the cat and mouse game restarts. And a cat could well have an advantage in this game, because it was largely pitch dark in this film. Several times I checked if the power went down, because in the end I couldn't see Jack sh*t most of the time. Also, the attempt to emulate the feel of a 70's movie wasn't really successful.Actually, you can compare this with Mickey Keating's previous creation "Pod". Also, a so-called horror with potential. Good intentions are clearly present and there are also some positive aspects can be seen, but ultimately it's all vague and disappointing. Even downright violence and bloody fragments can't prevent it's becoming pretty boring and tedious halfway. Not to mention the announcement that this film is based once again on true facts. That won't make it an exciting movie, unfortunately.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

I'm just wondering if they had chemtrails in the 1970's because all we see every 2 minutes is a camera shot of chemtrail filled skies.Chemtrails, chemtrails and more chemtrails. In one scene we actually see a plane spraying the sky at no so distant range.The director probably never heard of chemtrails and he just thinks the white lines in the sky is great footage to repeat all over the movie. Yeah it's majestic....The soundtrack is probably the worst I've come across in a film no matter the genre. It would actually be better if this "movie" had absolutely no soundtrack at all. That says a lot.The person who created the credits and the opening titles is deaf and blind at best. Each actor's credit lasts about 0,1 seconds. It's so fast you can't actually read anybody's name. Maybe this was an idea after they finished filming the movie and nobody wanted to get any credits for being in this terrible film, so they asked a deaf and blind person to create the credits sequence.The film editor could be a mentally challenged person, I just couldn't find a scene that was edited by someone with an IQ above 70. Laughable, amateur, cheap, boring are some of the words that come to mind recalling most of the editing.Someone in his first year of film school is laughing very hard because he knows there will always be something much worse than his worst work as a freshman. Like this film.Don't watch it, you will thank me for many years to come. If you did watch it like I did, then welcome to the morons club of "people who watched this film and can't get their 2 hours or their money back, ever"Mr. director, the true story must have been horrific to the people who suffered all this. That doesn't mean you have to do the same to your audience. You're supposed to scare the audience with a horror film, not make them puke their guts out because of how untalented and uninspiring your movie really is. Go watch some crappy 80's horror flicks, you may actually get an idea of how to improve your skills of film making. Bye Bye.
