I HAD HEARD QUITE A LOT ABOUT THIS MOVIE. BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO SEEING IT. N I AM A GREAT FAN OF SLASHERS N GORE. N THIS MOVIE'S NAME SMELLED OF BLOOD N A GOOD TIME. SO WITHOUT SECOND THOUGHTS I JUMPED AT IT WHEN IT AIRED ON TV TONIGHT. RECORDED IT N BANG FIRST THING IN THE MORNING I WAS UP N READY TO SEE THIS. N THANKFULLY ENJOYED MOST PART OF IT WITHOUT BEING SCARED MUCH.
SYNOPSIS: Dark Castle Home Entertainment and Warner Premiere collaborate for this shocker about a film fanatic whose quest to procure a print of a notorious slasher movie leads him and two friends on a trek into the backwoods where the film was originally shot.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE A CLICHED PLOT OF YOUTH GOING IN THE BACKWOODS N GETTING SLASHED TO DEATH BY A SLASHER. BUT THIS ONE BOASTED OF A NEW VILLIAN- BABYFACE. INSPIRED FROM LEATHERFACE BUT QUITE INNOVATIVELY DONE.
DAVE PARKER DIRECTS THIS WITH ELAN. KEEPING THE TENSION GOING THROUGHOUT. BUT THE START WAS PRETTY PROMISING N I THOUGHT IT WOULD GET MORE CREEPIER. BUT ALAS IT WAS AN ANTI CLIMAX OF SORTS. SO I STOPPED FEELING TENSED N JUST KEPT GOING WITH THE FLOW. IT WAS ENJOYABLE BUT THE TENSION WASNT THE SAME. SCREENPLAY WAS A LITTLE ON THE WEAKER SIDE. THE WRITERS JOHN CARCHIETTA N JOHN DOMBROW LET GO A PRETTY NICE BEGINNING. BUT IT WAS ENJOYABLE NONETHELESS. SOME INFIDELITY N NUDITY THROWN IN BUT I AM AFRAID THATS NEVER THE ANSWER TO SOLVE STORY PROBLEMS.
ON THE ACTING FRONT TYAD HILGENBRINCK IS THE MOST CONVINCING. AS IS WILLIAM SADLER. THE OTHERS DO A DECENT JOB BUT HAVE NOTHING MUCH TO DO. SOPHIE MONK DOES THE STRIPPER WITH A BAD PAST TURNS SOCIOPATH ROLE LOOKING HOT EVEN AS SHE MUTILIATES PEOPLE. SHE HAD TO LOOK HOT AND SHE DOES THAT WITH DECENT ACTING. N THE NEW HORROR VILLIAN BABYFACE IS TERRIFIC. SO WELL DONE CAST.
CINEMATOGRAPHY IS PRETTY NICE. AS IS THE MUSIC. KEEP YOU ENGROSSED AS THE STORY GOES A LITTLE WEAK AFTER THE START. EDITING IS DECENT.
ALL IN ALL A SLASHER WITH QUITE A PROMISE BUT ONLY HALF DELIVERS ON IT. YOU WONT BE SCARED OR CREEPED OUT BUT WILL DEFINITELY ENJOY THE GORE N KILLS.
