Beach Massacre at Kill Devil Hills

I rented this movie the other night, and I thought I was going to be watching a bloody horror movie. Instead, I got a very well done character movie. Being a woman myself, I found I connected with the characters and the situation that they were in.

This movie takes on some very intense themes about male violence towards women, that you don't see all the time in this genre. Specially with the twists that happen. I found myself thinking what would I do if this happened to me and my friends? Yes there were small things that could have been improved on, but I saw a post on the films fan page that said it was a micro low budget film, so taking that into consideration, I feel like they did a good job.

I would recommend this film, just on the fact that it tried hard to be something that other horror movies aren't.

The writing and directing kill this film. The actors have very small moments, but really nothing to work with. The story line is terrible. But ultimately it's the Director that should be given a 1, for just not trying.

No pun intended - if you'd ask me where the movie is supposed to be playing, I couldn't really tell you. Though to be fair, the Beach Massacre title is quite catchy to say the least. Apart from the massacre part, there is also a nudity part. Not too much, but some either have issues with that or are looking forward to it .. so for your information if you will.

There is also one actress who has so much botox in here face, that trying to figure out what she is currently feeling ... well is quite the impossible task. No pun intended of course and no offense (?). All kidding aside, the movie has some finer moments, but the acting in it isn't it ... at least not for the most part(s) ... I don't even know where those puns come from. Which is also true about two strangers ... but you know what they say? You don't? Me neither ... maybe they say, do not watch this? On the other hand, there have been worse movies out there, so there is that.

Take out all the "artistic" beach shots and the movie would be a much, much, much shorter incoherent mess of bad acting and uncomfortable hot tub scenes..

Then take those cut "artistic" beach shots and put together a live wallpaper for your laptop, and you will have made something decent and worthwhile.

I'm staying at my friends' house, and we picked this because we always watch laughably bad movies when I stay with them. It's bad, but it's the worst kind of bad. It's not even funny bad. It's just BORING. It's an absolute slog that could have been trimmed down by 30 minutes. Almost every scene drags for about 10 minutes longer than it should. Except for the little girl, the characters are unlikeable at best, and the dialogue sounds like it was written by high school boys. About 40 minutes in we forgot what we were watching.

If you're looking for a bad movie, skip this and watch something by Mark Polonia instead.
