Crappy film

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

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.

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.

Spoilers: This film contains Joe Estevez Woohoo – it's another slasher film. In lover's lane, two jocks and their girlfriends are brutally stabbed by an murderer and only one of the jocks survives. The other is the brother of the local deputy, who has a rocky relationship with his father. You've also got Joe Estevez as the chief of police also trying to deal with an escape from the local asylum. There's an FBI agent in there too, plus other folks I'd imagine.For a slasher film, there's an awful lot of interaction between the characters I mentioned and not a lot of actual slashing. The films also seem to tie together about three different plot lines and just ended up raising about a billion questions.Without spoiling the film, let me say that when that other character did that thing, was it a coincidence that the other character turned up at the same time to do that other thing? Or, in the same scene, how come one character managed to do that thing to himself while the other character did that other thing to that other character? How come that guy didn't notice the other guy doing that thing? And how many characters have (things)? Or (thing) from that (thing)? (thing) (thing) (thing) (thing) (thing).Loads of red herrings in this one. Things pick up when Robert Z'Dar and Linnea Quigley turn up. It's definitely not the worst slasher film I've watched, and it's free from any of that smug Scream self-referential crap. It just tried to cram too much drama, and not enough scares.

First, let me just say the movie looks great. The DP knew exactly what he was doing when he shot this film because it looks very professional. However, he may have been the only guy on the crew who knew his job.Yes, the acting is bad. So is the direction and the plot. But, my biggest gripe is with the post-production team. Specifically, the sound...I have a question for whomever was in charge of post.....was this movie ever even sound mixed? The mix is unbelievably awful from a technical standpoint. Some of the dialog is so quiet, I couldn't hear it unless I turn my TV nearly all the way up. Then, I'd almost immediately get sprung from my chair because some sound effect would slam in at what seemed to be 90 decibels. Of course, there I am flying to the remote control to drop the volume back to a human level. Hey guys, next time, mix your friggin' movie. This "mix" is so bad, I wouldn't even insult amateurs by calling it amateurish. Plus, as the other poster noted, the sound jumped out of sync with the picture for like 5-10 minutes near the end. What's the story with that? To be fair, I don't want to put ALL the blame on the filmmakers/post-production crew. Freestyle Home Entertainment (whoever they are) NEVER should've released a film this poorly mixed. I mean, it's just flat-out unfinished. What were they thinking?

C R A P PURE CRAP COULD NOT BE WORSE WATCHING ELEPHANTS TAKE A CRAP FOR 3 HOURS WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ENTERTAINING.this movie was a piece of trash. one star is generous (because IMDb requires you rate, minimum being one star). with virtually no redeeming qualities, the movie drones on and on and on...do not waste your time and watch this made-for-TV pile of crap; the acting sucked (everyone was terrible), and, as i heard from the grapevine, no one got paid. in fact several of the actors paid to be in the film for the sake of posterity and bragging rights.DO NOT WATCH THIS WASTE OF FILM

Someone below said that this film insults real rubbish. That line is funnier & more interesting than anything that appears on screen in this unending and unendurable "movie." There is a lot of people on screen coming and going and saying stuff but no one does or says anything interesting and you never even know who the hero is supposed to be until the end of the movie when there are only two characters left on screen. I guess that's the writer/director's way of telling you who you were supposed to be rooting for all along. I could tell you everything that happens from start to finish (murder, red herrings, late-entering characters trying to add some twists, and a limp cop who would be better cast as Ichabod Crane instead of a policeman) and it couldn't spoil the story for you because you could never enjoy it in the first place. I don't think any of the actors who's name you might recognize have done a major film since this one. Perhaps Rockville slayed their careers. The actors you've never heard of before you will never hear from again. The shame of it all is that it looks like they threw a lot of money on the screen, production values are high. The problems are many: bad direction, bad self indulgent impenetrable story, bad acting, poor sound, and a very bad quality DVD release.
