Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

When a serial killer starts up another murder spree after years of being inactive, a cop team ups with a woman who claims he's back to kill her after failing to do so during his first rampage to put an end to the new reign of terror.A perfectly decent slasher, with a really unique set-up in which the killer targets a whole family during his rampage, then will pose them after death into mannequin-like displays allows for some extra carnage and gruesomeness, the kills are brutal and bloody, and the stalkings are really good, making it really serviceable in those areas as long as you ignore the killer's backstory, which nearly everyone of us will be able to guess in one or two tries, three at the most, as it pertains to the most utterly obvious scenario for creating a psycho and really just drags the film down with it's repetition and use, but it's still an above-average slasher anyway.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and several sex scenes

An moody but ultimately lousy slasher flick that had no story we've haven't seen before, very bad acting that will make you laugh and is one of the film's biggest problem and it also had a lame, pathetic killer that bored me to tears. This is kind of similar to the other direct to DVD slasher Frayed but no where near as entertaining and suspenseful as it and is very uninspired. I thought this had poor production values by the cheap effects and the unbelievable lightening and thunder storms and it wasn't smooth or solid about anything and to me it was a waste of money to make in the first place because at least Frayed had some terror in it and was fast paced, this one will slash you to sleep. Overall this is a waste of shelf space and is a not so bright slasher that wasn't slick, scary, suspenseful, entertaining or bloody inventive enough to be worth your time. Not Recommended!

Being a slasher movie fan, I was thinking, well, it can't be all that bad. I mean, even the worst films have some good thing about them.Let me tell you right now.THIS ONE HAS NONE!The movie is just terrible, and the worst part is that they took it seriously. Acting is truly bad. Even for a slasher movie... At most points the stabbing scenes are made badly and you can see how they miss the person. Even at a moment when a person is stabbed through, falls to the floor and then... No blood on their back when the knife just came out.If you are thinking about watching this movie, I can only tell you one thing: DON'T!There is a whole list of things you can do instead that are much more entertaining: - Starring a white wall for a couple of hours - Counting Flakes in you cornflake box - Going to sleepand much much more.

Let me start off by saying this movie is not the best movie out there by any means. Its story is interesting at best and it really tries to make the killer have a personage and back story, so that you do not just see him as another murderer. On the other hand the actor playing Jack does a horrible job. To illustrate how horrible I thought his performance was, I will describe it this way: Every time I saw him on screen I wanted to gouge out my eyes with a spoon and jam chopsticks into my ears to pierce my brain so I would no longer have to see or hear anything he does ever again.If it were up to me I would run him out of town and never let him work again. Over the top? Maybe. You be the judge. It seems the only godsend of this movie was Michelle Morrow the actress playing Karen Cook. In my opinion, in these types of movies the killer should outperform the others in the sense of acting skills, but the exact opposite was the case. She was the star of the film hands down and the others are forgettable.The only reason to see this movie is to get a chuckle out of the acting. It is a rent at best.
