Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

GL84 Agreeing to participate in a scavenger-hunt game for her college, a troubled woman learns that her and her friends are being targeted by a vicious maniac who may or may not be responsible for her past and try to figure out his connection to the game to save the others.This is an incredibly bland and uninteresting slasher, if it really could be called one as this one is just a rather dull and agonizingly slow thriller masquerading as a horror film. By making the kills all pop up in the last half-hour, that forces us into the boring game for the first hour, and it's not in the slightest bit interesting to watch as this one just tends to wander around to each of the contestants not doing anything to hold our interest, as there's no unfurling mystery to be found in the clues, they just so happen to get along with the game and overall it just comes off as weak, uninteresting and even misses several prime moments of excitement (messing up a couple screwing in the woods being the prime example) before it gets to a rather lame, bland finale that's imminently predictable and not in the least bit interesting. The kills are bloodier than expected (yet don't deviate from a brandished knife as the weapon) and the central premise has some legs, but this one just isn't worth it.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

sdawk1980 I liked this low-budget film, but it wasn't what I expected. From the package, you're expecting a slasher, but this is more like Scream. I'm a New Yorker, and they really got the feel of the city, from the mundane to the scary (beware: there are lots of "in jokes" for the New Yorkers). The story is a bit uneven, but some of the acting is really good. Brucato plays that strange creepy introverted "girl with a past" with grating accuracy. What's crazy is that I think lots of the actors are really musical theater types - I mean Terrence Mann is on Broadway in the Addams Family right now. Not your typical horror cast. I guess you don't often see horror films directed by women, but that surely accounts for some of what makes the vibe of this film unique. Not gross scary. More like go-on-a-date scary. If you're willing to take it on its own terms, I'd recommend it. Bring your girl friend.

Scarecrow-88 A scavenger hunt is concocted by an annoying guidance counselor, and it's only when her beau ends up supposedly kidnapped and in danger that a paranoid, Jenny(Christina Brucato), who saw her sister stabbed repeatedly by a killer posing as a cop, will join in on the festivities, looking for clues in New York City with other participants who reluctantly join in the hopes of winning a pair of White Stripes tickets. What seems like a harmless game turns deadly as a psychopath starts plunging his knife into the bodies of the college kids, with Jenny not only worried for her own life, but of Gavin(Tate Ellington)and her fellow students as well. The scavenger hunt itself seems like a novel idea, but it takes so long to set up the scenario that I imagine many slasher fans will find it intolerable and frustrating. So much of the film is dedicated to the Gavin and Jenny romance, and the scavenger hunt itself doesn't get particularly bloody until well over and hour. I think the film's plus is that the cast isn't too bad. Brucato and her new lesbian friend Deena(Frankie Shaw)actually have good chemistry together(..the film seems to flirt with the idea of a possible intimacy, but, sadly, nothing ever comes of it, although Deena does attempt to kiss Jenny, interrupted by Paula(Karla Mosley), concerned about her boyfriend Higginbotham(Decargo Sanyal)). Bryan Fenkart is the insufferable Tim, who is so pleased with how he designed the hunt, yet has a really hard time getting others to partake. Hollis Scarborough is a wannabe drama actress, AnGela(she really stresses the "GEL" in her name), whose love for her craft tends to make her a bit of off-putting. Other characters include Roy(Alex Brightman), Chappy(Brian J Smith), and blond hottie slut Camille(Karissa Staples)..they service the plot as extra fodder for the psycho in a hoody. The movie has those scenes where cell phones don't work and characters get out of the car when a suspicious sound is heard on the outside. To the film's credit, there are moments of potent ultra-violence through the vicious use of the knife, such as when the killer guts one victim like a fish, and plants it in the mouth of another who attempts to cry out(not to mention the murder sequence where the knife goes through the victim's head and out her throat). Ultimately, "Red Hook" is simply just another slasher which will eventually find itself darkening the back of a rental store on some DVD shelf with all the others collecting dust. The identity of the killer will come as no surprise to anyone, I imagine, unless you are totally clueless, and the reasoning behind such heinous acts leaves much to be desired. Bottom line, "Red Hook" is bland, mediocre, and forgettable.

Heislegend Wow...just...wow. I don't even know where to start with this movie. It was just so, so bad. Have you even sat down and thought to yourself "I like the idea of slasher movies, but can't they make one that impossibly boring and pointless?". If you have, this is your lucky day. Then again, you also might consider professional help.Nothing about this movie stands out as good. The acting is fine, but that's about it. Stalker movies are a dime a dozen so to make yours stand out you should probably add something at least slightly original to it. Or at least make the kills cool. Or do something...ANYTHING...to keep me from nodding off during it. Alas, Red Hook does not do any of these things. The story is horribly put together and boring and there's nothing original going on. Hell, even the kills are extremely lame. Also, I know it's not the movie's fault, but why in the world does IMDb have this listed as a comedy first and a horror second? It's not really either, but definitely not a comedy. It's just plain awful.
