I had high hopes for this movie. I dont mind bad movies but this was not worth watching. The acting was so so for a low budget. You don't really care about the main characters so when they die it really isn't upsetting.

In a movie you expect some cheesey moves that a person would never do in real life. In this movie almost everything they did was like that. As one reviewer states there were many opportunities for something to happen, for them to get the upper hand where maybe you would have routed for them. It NEVER happens. They just make stupid decision after stuoud decision. Sound was good. Lighting was good. Acting was okay. Movie BAD.

When I say "poor man's" I don't refer to cheap, low budget or anything like that. The camera work is quite good, you couldn't really tell it apart from a more professional production, good editing, nice cuts, it all works.

But the rest of the movie is somewhat ridiculous honestly, people that make such bizarre decisions, so much dialogue that does not belong there and one laughable ending.

Very few good things to be said about this one, it has a Strangers vibe mixed with You're Next, but it really didn't work whatsoever, also, something that particularly stood out is the fact that the eye candy comes from a guy, obviously ripped and probably a natty too, who is topless a little more over half the movie. The camera really focused on his physique a lot, it reminded me a little of Return of the Living Dead with the permanently naked chick.

Anyway, it is not something to recommend, not even to pass the time. Luckily it does have one trait that always betrays bad movies: right at the very start, there is a song by a band on stage, and the song, is full. Not a few seconds or scenes for the atmosphere, but an entire song. Now you know.

Cheers!
