Deadly Weekend

I gave this one a 3, mostly because I've seen too many like it already. It didn't bring anything new, exciting, different, better done, nothing worth mentioning. Just another "lets make a movie in the woods" thing, that will pass by you, without leaving an impression, without even noticing it was there at some point.

Sure the budget was small, cause it is the easiest indie type of horror, the woods one, the acting was somewhat OK, the characters had some core, but after the first half, it all goes down the drain. It just becomes bad, when you get to see where this is heading...wow. So most of you, lucky people, will stay away from it, and get something good in return. Woods horror movies: plenty! Pick your choice.

Zellwood is avoidable. Watch it at your own peril!

No pun intended - Ms Underwood (is that a pun/innuendo too?) looks really stunning. And she probably is best when it comes to "acting" in the movie too. Or I was blinded by her beauty - even so, that doesn't say much, because the others are not really "competition".

We get a film in a film thing in the beginning - and all the nudity you will get in the movie too. Whatever that is going to mean for and to you. Because while they all do look good (in hot pants or whatever else they are wearing), they act irrational/not good throughout (no pun intended).

The effects are quite good - if you care for those. And I reckon there is a sort of neat twist towards the end. Not sure that is a saving grace (and last pun to ... end scene)

This is the worst film (as far as acting is concerned) that I have ever seen I'm my entire long life. The only beautiful thing in this film must be the 2 main actresses. If you are a hot blooded man or a lesbian then you will probably tolerate this crappy badly acted terribly directed film. It is an insult to peoples intelligence to say the least. The worst actresses in the whole entire world are the two young ones. They should never be allowed in front of a camera ever again. In fact if I ever see them in any other movie I will switch off immediately. Please people avoid this like the plague except if you want to see the playboy centrefold girl from playboy not so naked in this hideous movie.

Anyone who has a passing interest in horror B-movies will watched at least one (or two hundred) films where the basis premise is... bunch of teens find themselves off the beaten path and get stalked by... and it's at this point you can insert your chosen monster and/or serial killer into the proceedings. So, as per that logic, two couples here decide to go on a weekend away in the American countryside.

They're your typical horror stars, i.e. Young, good looking and always run back into the house whenever they're supposed to be running away from it.

And they bicker. Okay, they're technically friends and the script keeps telling us how much they like each other and how long they've been friends, but they seem to get at each other more than any group of mates I've hung around with. The leading man is especially paranoid about his girlfriend seeing other guys - hardly a sympathetic trait for a primary antagonist.

And they bicker. I only mention this again because the film is about ninety minutes and I was still at the halfway mark where absolutely nothing that could define this as a 'horror' film had actually happened yet. It was all coming across as a romantic drama. In fact, I even tried a little experiment as I lay on my sofa and closed my eyes (as it was Boxing Day and I was a bit tired!). I just listened to them talk for a while and never really missed anything relevant because of it.

It's only in the last (just under) half where the 'threat' comes into play. I won't spoil who or what it is, but either way the blood and guts eventually start to flow. There's not that much in the way of gore to write home about and, when the cast members start - shall we say 'decreasing' in number - they start doing that thing where they make every dumb horror movie decision you've even rolled your eyes at.

I guess if I had to go for a negative then I'd say that the leading lady is quite attractive, but that's about it - and it's probably only really a draw for the male audience. If you really want to watch this 'horror' film just start it at about 45 minutes in, otherwise I'm sure you'll find better.

Just skip to 24.18.. The only enjoyable part of the movie. The two main villains were a good twist until no-one fought back against them.. which ruined it for me, could of easily been overpowered. Miss Underwood is easy on the eye to say the least... her other mate could also fill out a swimsuit.
