The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

This movie made no sense whatsoever. What was the point? People getting killed constantly and blood all over the place. What's the point? Why was all this weird stuff happening? Blood coming down the walls, blood coming down windows, blood inside a school bus. Blood, Blood, Blood. Again, what was the point? Just another stupid, pointless movie made by uninspired would-be directors and writers. Why can't people make good movies like the old days? I think the problem is everything has been done and nobody these days is inspired enough to create anything decent. All they do is either make up pointless movies like this one or remake something from the past. Are movies ever going to get good again?

There's nothing new and revolutionary in this. But you know what, that's what sets it apart from any American horror movie I've seen in a long time. It has violence, gore, nudity, the supernatural, decent acting, spooky woods, and an obvious "start sequel here" ending. It was fun, well paced, nice to look at, and it made me feel good. It reminded me of what the first Evil Dead movie meant to be before it got the mistaken idea it was a comedy. It could be transported from today to the eighties to the seventies with ease. It's about darn time they started making horror movies again instead of pretentious little pieces of artistic fluff and torture/psycho/seen it all before regurgitated eighties tripe that really believes it is revolutionary. Yes I am a jaded horror fan, and you know what? I have a job. I buy movies, and tickets, and memorabilia... Hey Mr. Movie Studio Exec quit pandering to broke thirteen year olds who saw a pirated copy of your movies on their friend's computer, and start churning out more like this. I'll buy them. You'll make money. We'll both be happy.

I'm a horror fan from way back, and am always looking for interesting twists on the genre. There's really only so much you can do with blood and guts and creepy guys in the woods, so the audience gets bored quickly. I doubt the slasher genre will ever really go away, because people who've been long-term fans grow up and start making their own movies, but they're conscious that there's a blase fan base and a long history preceding them.So we get movies like this one. I think it probably made more sense in the writer/director's head, although you catch on pretty quickly through its (unfortunately) fairly standard suspense setups and "No, it was Jason's MOTHER" type twists. Even the twists are getting predictable. ---------spoiler below----------- ---------stop reading if you don't want a spoiler--------------------What was interesting about this movie was the idea not that the dead are getting up and looking for justice, but the idea of who's responsible for the deaths in the first place, since the main targets are people in authority. It examines an interesting question of who's really responsible for a tragedy, which is why I liked it, outside of the usual gore and guts movies. And the end was cool. :)

this film from the beginning scared the hell out of me! so that was quite good because i usually find horrors amusing.however the plot was extremely confusing and instead of being scared i had to try and work out what was going on, who was bad, who was good, who was dead, who was alive etc etc another awful thing about the film was the poor sound volume quality. in tense moments, as all films do music tends to get louder and louder, however in most films you can hear the voices over it! i had no idea what was being said in these tense moments so it was ruined. however the DVD said it included subtitles for the hard of hearing, so i may have to re watch the film with the subtitles so i no whats going on!!! after all this moaning i have to congratulate it as there is a sense of mystery from the who's bad who's good side of it, the end definitely left a cliff hanger... 5 out of 10.. mainly for fear factor!on second watching...i now understand the plot... the people covered in blood are the souls of the dead who need revenge on the people who harmed then... hence why Helen was killed, as she had killed all of the souls in the "blood" boy. once they had killed the people who harmed them, their souls can be left to rest. so... the "blood" people aren't the "bad" guys in the films they are the "good" guys as they help the police to find out who the killer was... (of all the people who worked at the damn). the reason Helen was the killer is because she wanted revenge for her daughter and husband who died because of the damn.. phew!! confussling!! thanks to Megan who explained it to me! so i think it was a damn good film!! 8/10!!!!!!!
