Too many reviews on the IMDb claim the film (more often now video) they just saw is the worst film ever made. If there is any justice left this video ( and not for one moment will you not believe it is anything other than a shot on video) will garner new worst film ever reviews. But hey the first people to write reviews of it loved it. Well fortunately most films get watched by more people than made them,though the only reason to sit through this is if you helped make it.

There's almost no point to talking about what's bad about it. Everything is.

But what do slasher fans expect? Let's run it down.

Nudity===no none there other than some shirtless men in tight short shorts--wonder what that's all about?

Gore? Mostly the dribble candy looking blood over an actors skin. Oh, one early kill has the dead woman blinking. More stranglings than slashings and the killer usually arrows instead of a knife. It's pretty much all of the, "Oh I'm pretending I'm being killed" variety. Like you'd see from a bunch of nine-year-olds playing Cowboys and Indians in their back yard with some food coloring for blood.

Music? Well the only decent thing in the movie is the music score, that claims and might actually have some real instruments used. Unfortunately much of the music is god awful pseudo 80's songs that are bad and don't sound like 80's either.

Acting? Well you don't expect acting in a slasher film but I mean really.

The 80's? Well that era for slasher films this one tries for, but the wardrobe isn't consistent, the valley girl is really a few years too early to be in the film and has too many ear rings. The shot on video nature makes it all look cheaper than even the cheapest slasher films of that era. There's no suspense or nastiness here, the set ups for the kills are pretty weak and or silly.

Comedy? Well no you don't expect that in a slasher film, but don't worry unless you think bad actors reciting lines you'll recognize from better movies is funny, you won't have comedy getting in the way of the film. The black chick character says she just ate so much her t**t is going to explode. I guess that counts for something?

Unique killer gimmick? Do sort of loose fitting yellow work gloves terrify you? Well they won't after you see this movie so don't be afraid to keep your eyes open. Even if you are afraid of sort of loose fitting yellow work gloves watching this movie will cure you.

Something like taking their cheapo video camera and badly recorded sound away from these people so they never make another "movie" again.

The central idea (sort of a time travel thing) is really badly done so they can't take credit for that.

All kidding aside this is trash made by people who don't know how to make a movie and don't care about the movie they made. Annoying video hissing sound pops in and out with the camera edits, just like it does in your own home movies. Wow, that's great. Greenish video skin tones that don't match the shots around them, just like it does in your own home movies. Wow, how do they do that? Brightly illuminated by bright white light night scenes, just like when you take your light on top of your video camera and turn it on. Wow, why watch these people do this when you can already make a movie will all the excitement and skill that these people are vomiting up all over you. Talent aside, these are basic basic technical requirements that no one who made or released this film gave a damn about. Why, because they think slash fans are too stupid to care.

Hire the composer of the score, send the rest of the people involved in this film onto the Titanic with third class tickets and glory in the thought of them freezing painfully to death on a moonless night long long ago, and try to forget you ever saw this thing. Oh and while you imagine them freezing to death imagine the juries at the film festivals that this film touts on its box being set on fire as their eyes are eaten out by fire ants.

And please note I never said it was the worst film I'd ever seen, but I hope other reviews do. Not that you should believe them usually, because not every low budget shot on video film is this bad.

a friend rented this one looking for a cheesy horror movie, but soon found out it was a worthless piece of s*#t that should never have been conceptualized, nor filmed and sold. This schmorgasbord of terrible acting, terrible lines, terrible effects, terrible directing, and especially the terrible cinematography are a very good reminder that money can put out any lame waste of film. Even after all of that, you are disappointed by the lack of creativity that the writer/director had when he ripped off both "Groundhog Day" and "Friday the 13th" set in the 80s. The only worth that this DVD has is either being a coaster or a punchline while drinking with some friends.

***Also, it helps to mention that SOMEHOW there are 37 people who voted it as a PERFECT 10!! Seems to me that the actors and director all voted it as a 10 to throw people off the stench of their proverbial dirty diaper.*** DO NOT WASTE YOUR LIFE WATCHING THIS. I FEEL ROBBED OF MY TIME.

this movie should just be placed in comedy actually I watched this movie because i like horror films this was far from it most of the actors did a really really REALLY bad job in the film luckily there were a couple good ones this movie would've been a great film if it had more fighting scenes rather than boom your dead and a lot less cussing and well less blood oh and no close ups of the weapons the used that was one of the worst things about this movie is all of the weapon close ups i say overall the commercial for this movie was better than the actual thing!!!!!!!!! if you want to laugh at extremely bad acting and cheesy killing watch this if you like horror Don't EVER SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!

I would rather watch fat render then ever see this movie again. The plot seems like Back to the future meets Friday the thirteenth. The audio quality is awful and the is far to many close ups of the actors, the reasoning for this is (in my opinion) the production company did not have and microphone booms to hold above the actors while they conversed and there for had to shoot straight on with their sweet camcorder close ups. You can actually hear the audio pieced together. This movie is not only and insult to your eyes but also your ears. Things i would recommend over this movie would be: 1. getting kicked in the balls over and over again for the full 93 minutes, 2. Having all you finger and toe nails removed, 3. And simply just not watching this movie. Do everyone a favor, if you rent or own this movie (God i hope you don't own this movie)take a key and scratch the disk until it bleeds. The gore effects looked like something a 9 year old could come up with in the back yard. Please don't watch this movie

I will say that unlike most comments, I liked the look of this movie. The time warp thing should have been used more. After it was introduced, they never really done anything else with it.The gore was pretty lame. Every kill was almost the same. Maybe a little cherry pie filling coming out of the mouth. The score was pretty nice. The composer did a great job with the 80's themed music and the use of strings, which really captured the sound of the 80's slasher. I agree with the other comments with the over use of close ups. It's like they had a camera mounted Mic and were trying to stay in close enough range for the best audio. I think these filmmakers have some talent, I think they just need to concentrate more on good audio, and developing a solid plot.
