Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Bardlerx Strictly average movie
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Michael Ledo This is a Rene Perez's so bad its good film installment. Don't be confused, this in a one star or zero star film. I just thought it was so bad I got some enjoyment from it. A reality TV show takes 4 contestants to a mountain cabin where there is no cell phone service, except when the cell phone rings. There is a slasher up there and the last person standing stars in their own horror movie and that million dollar thing. I am not sure why someone wears a barbed wire guard around their head, seems a bit cumbersome at beddy-bye time. The film doesn't end with closure and director-writer-producer-etc.-etc. will certainly make another one. I am glad to see he is doing bad horror instead of bad fantasy films with idiotic flashbacks.Guide; Nudity (Elonda Seawood, Karin Brauns or double)
GL84 Struggling to get by in life, a troubled woman accepts an offer from a mysterious corporation to participate in a strange experiment at a remote cabin-house out in the woods where she gradually comes to learn that a vicious serial killer is stalking her in a vicious game by her employer.This one ended up being quite the decent enough slasher. What really gets this one going nicely is the rather strong action that gives this one a lot to really like overall here. Setting the tone rather nicely by detailing the initial chase through the woods but also getting the fist-fight featured alongside it gives this a nice punch as this gets us acclimated to the type of monitoring system at play here. It doesn't hurt that this also introduces the killer who is an insanely chilling presence that this one gets a lot of mileage out of as the flesh-colored mask wrapped in barbed wire and twisted metal leaves an indelible mark during the middle portion with him stalking her throughout the house against her knowledge. Those are quite creepy as the sight of him behind her moving around in the house without her knowing about it causes this to have a genuine tension that's even more effective due to the flashes of him behind her after just passing by or moving objects to different places in an attempt to confuse and disorient her before going through the phases of a stellar slasher on the other end. From some solid gun-battles to a decent stalking setpiece in the woods where it includes a few extra bodies thrown into the loop for some nice kills and bloodshed, the final half of this one is a lot more enjoyable than expected and gives it some decent moments. As well as the stellar house in the woods where it all takes place which is nicely creepy and atmospheric at times, these hold it up over its minor flaws. What really seems to undo this one is its lack of overall clarity with what's going on. Hardly anything is explained at all here, from what the employer at the computer monitors is trying to accomplish to what the purpose of the killer being freed is supposed to mean and why she's coming up to the cabin in the first place. Just dropping it all on us is not a good way of introducing us to anything, and the questions it leaves us is far more prominent than the ones it answers, leaving the whole affair pretty confusing for the most part. As well, the film doesn't really generate the kind of action-packed pace that's usually required in such films as the majority of time focusing on her wandering around the cabin or detailing the lifestyle struggles she's undergoing don't make for exciting scenes here and just really cause this one to be duller than expected. Since these don't bring about the kind of body count activities usually seen here, the film has some points where it lags considerably from what it could've had and never provides the kind of over-the-top bloodletting or kill-count it could've. Alongside the moments where it's obvious the low budget comes shining through, these are what holds this one back.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Violence and Brief Nudity.
superfeature Another film with the gear and the cast but an under-developed script. The opening drops us into a lot of action but never explains what's going on; you must infer from what you're shown. The lead baddie at his computer monitor is never explained either. What are his goals? Who frees serial killers in order to watch them at work? You must make motivations clear to the audience. The young heroine needs money - but what is everyone else up to, and why? The first hour (!) is heavily padded with superfluous goings-on. A few jump scares don't make up for a lack of real tension either. This was a near miss - a sharper focus on its goals, with fewer shots of the killer in full daylight, and this could have been an effective little thriller. Here's hoping the follow-ups are better vetted. Worth watching for the extremely pretty Natasha Blasick, the nifty (but unexplained) mask on the killer, and - well, not much else.
kaihbr It's easy enough to criticize this movie, so I'll get to that in a minute. First I'd like to tell you about what I liked with the movie. It's going to be a short list: two pretty looking girls. It also had a kind of scary location - deep inside a forest. A place no one can get without having a car pumped full of gas - twice! Before you continue reading... I'm writing about a lot of the things that happen in the movie, so if you want to see it, don't read any further. It will spoil some of the "fantastic" surprises.A girl is left all alone in an apartment because her room mate has left her for some reason. We never get to know why. Desperate from not having any money, she accepts a job offer paying a lot of money. She leaves her apartment without bringing any luggage. No clean underwear, no tooth brush, no jacket... even though she knows she's going to be away for more than a month. Maybe her room mate took her toothbrush, who knows? She gets to this cabin. A psychopath is running inside the house but she doesn't notice him. He tries to grab her a couple of times, but she still doesn't notice he's there. All she does is dance, eat and drink alcohol. Probably in the job description...Suddenly a police officer arrives. He is all alone without any contact with other police officers. Not even as much as a system in case he goes missing in action. No no... this cop is on his own! The police officer hasn't eaten or had anything to drink for four days, staying out in the cold, being hunted and shot at. Even so, he's still ready to flirt. When the girl puts a grenade in the dryer (yes, she probably thought the grenade was too wet), the cop has to rush the grenade outside. He is now being shot at. The funny thing about this is that no one is actually aiming. They're just shooting. The other thing... no one is taking cover. They're just standing in the middle of open fields ready to get shot. Not really impressing for soldiers hired to protect the ground! The movie ended exactly where the budget did... and without any explanation. Add bad acting and a murderer that doesn't really murder and seems more like a really stupid version of Blane, you get an awful movie.I'd like to point out two more things... someone is always observing what is going on through cameras mounted everywhere. This is a millionaire supposed to be far away from the actual house where everything takes place. However... when things turn sour, he appears within three minutes. How does he do that? A girl is running through the forest. The murderer is walking. When the girl stops to catch her breath behind a tree, the murderer is there also. How did he do that? Sorry for the spoilers... avoid this movie!
