Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

welshtrekker I don't think a spoiler exists here but I checked the box anyway in case. So on the film - I see it time and time again, a great story hampered by some horrible acting and a director who films like an amateur. Not saying the director is an amateur, but much of the angles lacked the impact that a film like this really needs. Maybe it was budget but a good director can spin a camera into a wonder device for great shots no matter the budget. OK, so we have a couple who rent out a lodge (a very beautiful lodge btw), and discover the caretaker has a chilling surprise in store for them. The premise is good, not original, but it should make for a tingling experience. The psycho caretaker theme should work every time but sadly here, it is not the case and it is not the writer (the story that is, screenplay needs a lot of work..) but the filmmaker and actors at fault. Indie films are where the best films start, and often shame the big budget Hollywood productions by showing that a low budget does not equate to a terrible movie. Here sadly, it is not the case.

mindcat I know how difficult it is to make good and reasoned thrillers these days. It seems all the good plots and ideas are long ago taken.Yet, although this film was formula in some ways, it did escape some of the non sense of a slasher and chase, kill em all dead and bleed em dry blood feast.It always amazes me how stupid some people can be. For example, they rent a lodge, talk on phone to owner before, and are not greeted by him when they arrive. Bad MOON rising? Then the poor couple find nothing amiss with no key, an open door and finally a kitchen as if somebody had just run away from frying eggs and bacon?Come on, any average intelligence person would smell something very wrong from the get-go? Further they are careless with the cells, careless with their travel bags and act as if they are so dumb, Darwin and the audience is there hoping an ax will fall and out of the gene pool they'll be.However, on the bright side, this film was dumb and unrealistic, but at least when somebody is dead, they stay dead.Please don't buy this flick at the video mart, just rent it for a few good laughs.

Bo Schreurs A good horror movie should contain at least the following ingredients, suspense, shock, nudity, gore, an insane character, and if you're lucky a good plot. None of it in this movie. The beginning of the movie is worth an 8, from then on it's all down the hill. First of all, the begin credits makes one insane, text, 5 seconds movie, text, movie, text, and then movie finally begins. Almost made me stop watching this movie. Then 20 minutes of boredom, no suspense, no sex (to be seen anyway), no killings, nothing. Would you hire a lodge for the weekend with your girlfriend, while the one who rents it to you stays in it during that weekend as well? Not me. Finally the horror starts, the guy gets tied up, and the girl gets raped. Well, you have to assume that, because you can only hear her scream, sort of, but it is not shown. Not that we need to see such a thing, but it would be nice, if at least we saw the madman shred her t-shirt to bits. None of it. Even worse, her t-shirt gets never stained with blood or dirt, it keeps clean until the very end of the movie. Needless to say that the only one who gets killed is the madman, who claims to be killing people for 16 years already, by the wounded girl. Even the last scene didn't save this movie. No plot, no nudity, no suspense, a bit gore, and just a little bit insanity. That's the real horror of this movie, a complete waste of time. Don't bother to watch it, even it is a rental. Don't say you weren't warned. Shudder...

charlie sparks Either this was written and made by three 15-year-olds or they were targeting the double-digit IQ audience and spending the minimum required to somehow show a profit at straight-to-video. It's a cynical attempt to get some product out there without too much effort or creative ability.There are holes in the script large enough to fly a dozen jumbos through. The acting is ordinary, but not helped by the stupid script, so I wouldn't condemn these unknowns, who probably worked for peanuts. But pay peanuts and... you get flicks like this.Then there's this attempt at a twist ending that's so ludicrous you wonder if perhaps it was supposed to be a satire all along!Maybe I got the maker's ages wrong, they could be younger - whatever, they're certainly not the sharpest knives in the drawer, pardon the expression.Avoid if you've got any taste and a life.
