Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
juanmuscle How very... scary! This was totally cool, narly and rad all in one fun but super ultra scary affair. It was done really well, it had the camp and fun of the 80's but underneath it bore all the trimmings of the super scary 70's stylistic just plain eerily distant and holistically existential - just indifferent immaterial POV that leaves one so freaked out. I say a must for fans of a very scary Genre!
GL84 Sneaking out from a high-school dance, a group of friends get stranded in the woods on their way to a gathering at a family cabin and find their trip interrupted by a deranged killer picking them off one-by- one and must try to find a way to get away alive.This here was quite the enjoyable and fun old-school inspired slasher. The fact that there's the rather fun and somewhat authentic feel of the 80s comes through as the film's best effort with plenty of truly great throwbacks here. The main setting in the house, which has the cramped and confined location and really dark look throughout here which is a great touch here that really throws this into that style quite effectively as well as giving the killer the kind of perfectly set- up location that makes a killing spree there rather fun. Those early scenes of the house walk-throughs, where they get to see the decrepit-looking location and completely mangled remains that looks like the perfectly-created setting for the killer to appear and it seems certainly appropriate once it gets going in the later half once they finally encounter him. That takes the film into a fun turn as the change-over into the slashing makes this one a quite impressive effort as there's a lot to like here, starting with the discovery of the body-part construction in the living room and segueing into the great scene of the killer taking the group apart which features the big charge across the open field into the barn, the few solid parts into the big part of the house or the numerous encounters throughout the house as he appears in a variety of different rooms to deliver some rather fun times. This gets better here with the rather fun and exciting scenes in the final half as there's plenty of even more fun encounters throughout here as the action picks up considerably and gets way more frantic as the varying attacks gets this one even better with the different confrontations and thrilling action. With a great- looking killer and plenty of gory kills packed in here, there's plenty to like here that makes for enough positive to like here to overcome the few minor flaws here. The biggest problem is the film's rather stumbling pace in the first half where this takes a while to really get going. Filled with all sorts of extraneous plot-points that don't really impact the film as a whole or pointlessly dragging out scenes beyond their worth, there's a rather long period of time in the first half before it turns into a true slasher which holds this one back somewhat. As well, there's also the fact that the film's homaging of the past ends up hurting it in several instances, where it's incredibly too dark at spots to make it feel like a true occurrence at the time and really giving away it's gimmick-pretense. The missing-reel gag is also a big problem where it really spoils a big scene in the film and ends up being a gimmick for no reason. Otherwise, this was quite fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and minor drug use.
lathe-of-heaven I pretty much agree with the others here (4 so far) The director did a nice job of setting up the characters and the general feeling of the era pretty well, but ultimately and unfortunately there really just wasn't much of a story to go along with it.The ironic thing is that usually it is SPECIFICALLY the acting itself that is so atrocious in these low-budget Horror films and many times completely ruins what could have been a good story (please see my review of the recent Gawd-Awful 'HONEYMOON' for example) But... in this case, the characters and the acting itself were just fine for the type of film it is, BUT everything else just didn't really add up to much. So, in this case it turned out kind of backwards from the way many other films seem to go...As mentioned by others, Robert Patrick was good in his role and the girl's Dad was just about right. Too bad... because almost ALWAYS, it is precisely the terrible acting or characters that are so grating in films like this, but these ones here are actually fairly decent compared to most. So, it leaves you feeling that you really would have liked to see them in the context of a much better story, but that is just the way it seemed to turn out, in my lowly and wretched opinion.Heh... I kind of feel that my REVIEW is rather shallow too, but quite honestly, there just isn't much more to say. I gave it a '5' only because I thought the setting, characters, and actors were pretty decent, otherwise the story overall would have gotten less...So, basically.... move along home... nothing to see here...
marshatomsins What a blast, fun throwback to the 80s that didn't take itself too seriously! Sequel! Sequel! Loved the names of the characters that referenced classic horror directors. Loved the twists and turns and the "missing reel", even if its been used before. I'm a fan of Justin Kelly's from degrassi so it was nice to see him in this! I do wish Sarah Fisher had a more substantial role though. I also love Eve Harlow from The 100 and it was cool to see her in this. I don't know, I just had fun watching it. I took off 2 stars cause I didn't love the dad or the killer, but other than that I thought it was fun and I'd recommend it to friends!
