Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

kosmasp Although most here, would rather it be: can't see you. But we saw it (don't know about you dear reader, maybe you wanna check on in, and decide if you want to watch it). Let me tell you though that this tries very hard to be clever. You would guess so, with the characters studying Psychology and all.And the fact that they just behave like your average teenager (from a horror film), just goes to show you how bad ... our school system in general is! Seriously though: Of course there is more happening than usual (remember: it tries so hard!), but this only makes the whole thing more ridiculous.If you sit through the end, you have watched a few good scenes. But you will also see something that is completely wrong ...

FilmFatale The above line of dialogue pretty much sums up this low budget slasher film. Although the acting is bad and the plot twist is inane, I did find a few positive things in this dreck. First off, we get a twist from the typical summer camp slasher, as this is a winter camp slasher. A group of students has been helping their professor with a semester long research project. To thank them, the prof sends them to a weekend retreat at his remote Michigan cabin. Which leads to the second positive: a LOT of people get killed, and it starts pretty quickly. There's even some decent gore, considering the micro budget. But on the bad side, almost all of the murders are shown twice. What the heck?? This film is twenty minutes too long anyway, so it's all just padding. In a nod to the classic 80s slashers, we do get boobs and sex, so combined with the gore and high body count, this wasn't a terrible way to spend an evening. Still, it's mostly inane and recommended for fans of slashers and overdone Michigan accents.

Claudio Carvalho A group of college students travels to the cottage of their psychology professor Barren (Peter Carey) in an isolated island as a reward of their teamwork in the research of Barren. They expect to spend the weekend with lots of sex, but a serial-killer turns their party in a nightmare."The Retreat" is a B-movie with a screenplay that shows a bad collection of the usual clichés of horror movies: a place in the middle of nowhere with a serial killer; cell phones do not work; the killer murders one by one, and when they discover the bodies of their friends and consequently the menace, they split to make easier to the assassin; the killer damages their cars and they become trapped in the house; when the killer is dominated, nobody shoots him in the head or hits him with an ax, or try to see his face; they just leave the guy alone with an ax close to him; the girl meets the policeman, but has the most unreasonable attitude; there are many beautiful breasts; the twist in the end is ridiculous. There are more flaws or clichés, but I believe these examples are enough to give a big picture of this film. In addition, there are many stupid lines that seem to be written by a moron or a fan of "American Pie" franchise. The result is the fair IMDb Rating of 2.8 with 228 votes. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Grito de Pânico" ("Scream of Panic")

Horrorible_Horror_Films For a B-Horror movie, this is about the best you can hope for. Not a terrible film, and fans of the genre will enjoy it. Especially since some annoying people get killed near the first part of the movie. Decently made movie, good direction, DP and script - uh, the 'acting' was sub-par for sure for most of the actors, but some were better than others. There isn't too much more to say - if you love slasher films you could do much worse than this one, but if you don't like this type of movie you'll probably hate it. The ending, like most of the film, can't help but being a little cliché but for what it is its done better than most low budget horror movies. I hated the female lead, I thought she sucked, but then again I seem to hate most female leads in modern low budget horror unless its Tifanny Shepis. So go see "Silent Scream" or the "Retreat" depending what title you see it under, just know what your expecting - definitely not the worst movie out there, but not really better than mediocre.
