There is no reason for this movie to exist. It was slow moving and it wanted to be something like The Blair Witch Project with a serial killer, snuff film twist but when a movie like has already been done before it isn't effective or relevant anymore unless you do something strong and amazing like Cloverfield or Paranormal Activity, they simply didn't do anything new with the material. The three unbalanced individuals who are mostly at the centerpoint of this so called film got on my nerves pretty quickly and were more bratty buttheads than truly menacing, I just didn't buy it from them and the one that was the less crazy of the bunch was a coward and waited to long to be the hero in the game. I was pretty impressed with the victim and thought she was pretty believable in her part and seemed like the smartest person in this movie that falls victim to village idiots. There is nothing in this movie that is bloody just unsettling and disturbing especially the box scene which I felt claustrophobic just watching it and was pretty interesting here and there getting into some of the characters psychie but they didn't dig deep enough for us to care and the ending just plain sucked and it just didn't give me anything. Overall this was pretty flat and dull exercise in torture blah, blah, blah, blah!!!!! Not Recommended! Zero stars!!!!

Yes, the film is slow at times and yes, it does lack in scare a bit but for anyone who has made a feature length film of any kind, low budget or not it is a great little watch. The I did really hate the main character but that in is the paradox right because they are playing annoying idiots who really have no clue what the hell they are doing. And it is the quality that I liked best about them is that they made me want to hate them. That is the goal of any villains of any film, at least the best ones. The rest of the film could have used a bit of work but again for a first time thing for most of those involved is not a bad watch at all.

I give credit to the filmmakers for making something of what looks like nearly a ZERO budget. 3 teens in a cow-crap kicking town are bored, and decide to "kill" someone. The film is an A-Z step-by-step process from the time they decide to kill someone (out of boredom for the most part) to the deed itself. I give props to the film for its creativity and covering ground that hasn't been touched on a lot, my only complaint is the movie can get a bit BORING at times. And other then the cameraman, the teens are genuinely UNLIKEABLE (probably the filmmaker's intent, but I haven't wanted to SMACK someone through the screen as much as the wannabe-killer blond chick).

I wouldn't label this film a "horror" movie, more of a suspenseful "mockumentary" slightly in the vain of The Blair Witch Project without dripping boogers & silly stickmen. The movie slows to a crawl at times, but its worth a watch. Just don't go in expecting a run-of-the-mill slasher flick or buckets of gore.

Well, it was once again a night where with nothing better to do and no new releases in the Red Box that I wanted to see and had not already seen, I decided to take a gamble on a movie that sounded interesting, in spite of never having heard of it or heard of the production company. Unfortunately, I struck out this time. What sounded like an interesting and possibility entertaining flick on the Red Box summary was just another example of really insidious false advertising. The summary itself was misleading, speaking of half truths pertaining to the plot and making it sound far more entertaining than it was.

The honest run down: Three small town college kids are bored and decide that a great way to kill time is to... well kill someone. Each has their own reason, each more stereotypical than the last, such as the Apathetic character who never feels anything and hates life, or the character who is angry at their parents for never being around and decides taking out years of pent up anger on a stranger would be therapeutic. No matter the reasoning or justification, it's still three college kids who decide to make their mark on the world by becoming murderers.

The kids film the entire process in a documentary style format, filming themselves making plans and speaking of subjects that the writers probably thought to be deep, but with poor scripting and much less than interesting characters, the dialog completely fell flat and made the movie tedious and just that much longer. It took far too long for anything interesting to happen, and even then, just when you thought things would pick up, you are treated to the slowest moving and least entertaining part of the film yet.

The idea was interesting in and of itself, but the execution was terrible. Sub par directing, bad script, okay acting (at least it was not bad, but it was not good either)and sloth styled pacing made the movie impossible to enjoy. It was not that it was annoying, or stupid or even baffling, rather so much as it was just so boring and lacking of creativity. You watch the movie with one eye, the other resting on your watch wondering when it will end.

I gave it a 3/10. It's not the worst I've ever seen by and far, but as stated, pacing so slow it almost seems to go backwards, bad dialog, okay acting and a lack of creativity made this a dredging process to get through.

This movie was awful, thanks goodness for Redbox, but you know, it's not even worth the $1.00 rental. Since I am in the thankful mood, let me also be thankful for fast forward, because that's what I did through most of the movie. Don't rent this piece of trash movie. I thought that Kayla was a pretty good actor, but I must admit that I was expecting something a little more original. What alluded me to rent this movie was the tag-line (out of all things) but it failed to deliver on some many levels. Speaking of levels, this movie wasted my time in not only watching it, but also in writing this review. It probably would have been better if it would have been filmed from a third person perspective. Lastly, I can't believe they used such a great quote from Jame A. Froude to open up this movie; it really gave me great expectations, but as you can by now painfully tell, this movie is not worth your time don watch it.
