Absolutely Fantastic

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Personally, I'm tired of the "movie-made-by-drunk-college-kids-for-drunk-college-kids" sub-genre of horror films, and this qualifies, although to be honest, it's not as bad as some I've seen.The acting ranged from adequate to awful, the opening scene was all too familiar, i.e. bunch of profane, plastered college kids arrives out in the woods, alternately teasing and cussing each other out. There really wasn't much original here, just some re-arranging of the second-hand furniture. It's sad that so much available technology is wasted in the name of easy pseudo-shocks and nudity / gore.These kids, plus an older (thirty-ish) woman, are at a remote cabin to film a porno movie (read, excuse for nudity and sex scenes)when they encounter a strange brother and sister team. Unless you've been a cave sniffing glue for the past thirty years, there's no surprises here, although this may be the goal; nothing challenging, just more gawk-chow.

A group of porn filmmakers are systematically attacked by two children on the set of a remote shoot.We have actress Kristina Klebe here, and a whole lot of unknowns in the woods being preyed upon by "kids" (more like young adults) who think they are Hansel and Gretel. It fails on many levels. The first, and most obvious, was not using kids to play the kids.The porn aspect is done decently, including a nice parody of the "Big Sausage Pizza" series of films. But I am not really sure why they had to be porn stars. It could have been any random group of people -- the only difference here being that we have a sex scene. But the porn is not central to the plot like (the much better) "One Eyed Monster".There probably is no reason to see this one. People in the woods getting killed. We have seen this before. Sure, it has a few new angles, and there is a lot of potential for a good Hansel and Gretel story. This just was not the right one.

Not very many movies impress me these days and I'm not going to say this one was an exception. However, obviously low budget, this movie was genuinely creepy.You can pick up any horror movie and it be gory these days and really that's all they are. Gory sequences with a light plot thrown into it. This one took the original Brother's Grimm fable and twisted it. I enjoyed it. Some of the acting wasn't very good but fit well with their supposed industry, seemed like a bit of an inside joke. There are a few funny moments in it as well which seems to be necessary for the Horror genre as well. I wouldn't classify this movie as horror though. It's more like a creepy camp fire story.

doesn't do justice even to b grade horror movies .i was fooled into thinking that the great Mike Nichols had experimented with a different genre but couldn't believe that it was the same after watching the movie.finally came to know through IMDb that this is a completely different guy who had earlier helmed "a dead calling"(i have the misfortune of watching that too)..i think he should write something with his name so that there is no confusion to people...the movies plot was different but handled so poorly that you feel like tearing out your hair especially the wooden performances of the child actors of indeterminate age...my rating of 2 is for the somewhat different plot...but nevertheless its an hour and a half of my life i'm never getting back
