Very Cool!!!

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Brilliant and touching

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The reason this movie plays like it was written by a moron is because it was written by a Brazilian Moron. Cheep Cheep cheep! I can only say if the writer was paid at all then I am in the wrong business.The quality of the film was cheep.The directing of the film was cheep.The location of the film was cheep.What passes for film today is a very sorry excuse for the evolution of film.I am so sorry for films like this because the next generation wont be challenged to do more to captivate us.A simple home recorder and some high school friends and you to could have and Oscar.The minimum is for me to write ten lines in the review.With that Im finding it very difficult to think of ten lines to review such rubbish.

Lots of pretty girls to ogle in this camping trip slasher as the usual suspects(they all look about 23, but the movie has them as graduating high school students heading to college, or so they think..)fall prey to a psychopath. The destination is Lake Nede Campground and when the gang stop off for directions, they are told by a local that there were murders in that neck of the woods, kids chopped into pieces and all..but, such a story will not deter our group, no siree. Basically a Friday the 13th movie without Jason Voorhies as your killer. The killer mostly uses a cross bow to inflict damage on the victims. An important event(a horrifying tragedy where a family was burned alive in their home thanks to a firecracker prank gone awry), that haunts character Adam's nightmares, causing him to suffer sleep deprivation as a result, is obviously from the get-go the reason for the murders. Regarding the death of this family, at each crime scene a roman candle is left as a reminder of that event which might explain the motive behind why all these kids are being hunted down. Lots of eye candy to admire, such as Lynsey Brothers, Erica Cerra, Barbara Kottmeier, and Tiffany Paterson, and there's one particular scene, when all are in bikinis, where the director's camera lingers up and down all their bodies(he is just as fond of their beauty as we are). The plot is standard stuff..recycled formula of scared "teens" running around looking for escape as a killer is among them somewhere. The revelation at the end behind the murders is a little tacky, but it's never as much about the motive as it is about the murders themselves(which aren't that whopping, either). The title kind of informs you as to who the killer might be if you pay attention. Sean Arnfinson is Adam, the one having nightmares, while Brody Harris is his pal, Matt. Brothers is Adam's girlfriend Yvette. I could go on and on about the other characters but they represent the stock line up of "pretty lambs to the slaughter", so why bother.

Wow. Another clunker from Canadian "auteur" Andrew Van Slee. At least this one is somewhat watchable, unlike his earlier epic "Totally Blonde."The scariest thing about this entire movie is the teeth of the actors. Instead of rehearsing, the director must have thrown a teeth-whitening party. Almost every character has teeth that look like chiclets which had been soaking in bleach for a week. The plot line follows that of "Fiday the 13th" -- the only difference, and it's huge, is that instead of watching the kids die one by one in imaginative efx sequences, all of the violence takes place off-camera. A shadowy murderer appears, the victim reacts, and we see the bloody aftermath. The entire efx budget seems to have been spent on a bucket of fake blood and a number 4 paint brush. Most of the actors are good, but a few are grade A hambones. The characters are entirely generic. In fact, none of the human characters are as interesting as the farm tools used by the killer. And we don't get to see those farm tools act... just the aftermath.The dialog is atrocious. The opening character set-up is a long, labored discourse which makes it clear to anyone who didn't already know that teenage boys like sex. They also call each other "dude" a lot. It seems dated, but hey, maybe Canada's teens are on some kind of culture curve. Another ten years and they'll be getting into hiphop. There's a big surprise ending which I won't reveal. Anyone who makes it through this piece of dreck, even on fast-forward, deserves the miniscule thrill of the revelation.The ending sets up a sequel, apparently intending to rip off "Halloween" in the next installment, since they blatantly ripped off the theme music to set it up.If you're tempted by the premise, skip this turkey and rent the original "Friday the 13th" instead. Even if you've seen it fifty times it'll still be more exciting.

A group of teens head out on a camping trip to celebrate their high school graduation, but their party mood is short lived when they discover that a masked killer is hunting them down one by one. Now just who is this killer? Is it the two shady fellas who followed them, the park's grounds keeper, the sheriff or is it his unfaithful wife. But there's one thing that's haunting Adam's mind and that's the killer knows that of his terrible secret involving accidental death of a family.Um, I don't know what to really make of this travesty of a hack job. But I can tell you it's simply textbook stuff all round that's merely plain ( err, but quite a dud more often) for what it is. Ugh, really I think I am being quite generous overall on this particular amateurish indie horror effort. What takes form here is a very typical backwoods survival slasher with just too much talk and innuendo and far too little action and gratuitous nudity. Which can be quite sad for the lack of skin, since there is some nice eye candy on show. It just seems to promise more than it actually delivers, by teasing us with such tame excuses for horror.You can say that the film is just plain scary for all the wrong reasons with such banal and cringe-worthy dialogues. Real deflated acting from a young cast of stock characters who are either constantly horny, lazing about and when the trouble kicks in, its all about the clueless YELLING(!) and spiting out a good quota of badass drivel like you always do in these situations. The story and atmosphere tries for that 80s slasher feel by going for a big body count, but it totally misses out on the style with its lack of brutality and gory edge. Simply the deaths are quite sudden and reasonably clumsy with some brisk editing. There's a little bit of nudity, but it's rather a quick topless scene from the Allison Warnyca as the Sheriff's wife. She's probably the most fun that the film offers! But what made me grit my teeth was that the opening 30 minutes was incredibly boring with its rambling teens toying around in many filler scenes that I couldn't believe I still had an hour to go. It feels like it takes too long before the real fun begins and when it does, it gets a tad better (well, maybe more like tweeny weeny bit). From the get-go you realise the cliché filled plot is a convolutely rushed project that's completely bled dry of ideas. While, the back-story surrounding this slasher is just very cheesy to believe. But hold on it was the film's revelation that left me stone-cold because of the ridiculous motive and it goes over-the-top in its daftness. You can probably guess the killer just before the revelation with all the hints that crop up, but it's quite unsatisfying and doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you think about it. The usual red herrings feature quite heavily with some pointless characters who are just there for that stupid factor than really adding anything of real importance.The direction isn't awful but it's just generally uninspired. What was far from uninspiring was the downright noisy and really loud rock soundtrack and overstated score that at times over powers certain scenes. There are moments when it suddenly goes nuts when the film would break into a montage with a supporting rock song. Damn, that did get annoying. The camera-work is pretty standard and quite relentless when it has to be, but when it focuses on the killer we mostly see the lower half of the body. It's looks like it was shot on digital too. The setting is that of campsite by a lake in some brooding woodlands. It does get atmospheric in spots, which is kind of good since there's no suspense to be found.Well, what's there left to say; it just takes a very big slice out of the slasher market without adding anything special of its own.
