I was honestly really looking forward to this. Mostly because I was really wanting to get myself into the spooky season mood and this was the first thing to drop. However...man. This is bad. Real bad

Sure, it's low budget. The props looks straight off the discount shelf of Spirit Halloween, and the camera work and lighting is just above home movie level professionalism. Honestly, I'm fine with that. The acting is extremely amateur across the board, and while not ideal, at least that has a certain awkward charm to it. The real problem...is the writing

Everything about it feels lazy, generic, soulless, and cringeworthy. This contains every trope you've seen 1000 times before. Every scare is telegraphed. The dialogue is weird and robotic, and so much of this is almost carbon copy rip offs of much better horror films. So uninspired and lazy. Big fail.

This movie has a serious identity crisis. For one thing, it's rated R, which seems bizarre, because in all honesty, 99% of this movie feels like a disney channel movie. It overwhelmingly has that vibe, from the whimsical music, the camera angles, the script, the godawful dialogue aimed at preteens, the entire thing felt overly wholesome and family friendly. Then out of nowhere they throw in a single gory scene at the end, which felt totally off with the rest of the cartoonish tone of the film and...a single curse word that i noticed, and garnered an R rating

My question is...why? Again, who is this for? Your average adult horror fan is going to find this movie as extremely dull, childlike, and cringeworthy, as I did, and the audience this seems to be aimed at (the disney channel, nickelodeon demographic) would not be old enough to view this

Weird choice man. I don't get it

I originally watched this for two reasons. The first being, i'm a sucker for camp slashers, and secondly, I noticed one of the actors in it played the original kid Jason in Friday The 13th, so I assumed that would mean there was some baseline of quality to this thing. I was wrong. So very very wrong

I am not even sure what I just watched. This was no "80's slasher throwback". Instead what you get is acting that wouldn't cut it in community theater, non nonsensical plot lines, cut rate special effects, cringeworthy dialogue, a soundtrack that appears to have been hammered out on a Casio, and endless, tedious, tiresome exposition. No joke, roughly 3/4 of this flick is two guys in a bar, throwing darts, and explaining the entire backstory of the movie...and acting extremely poorly. The rest is just some truly generic slasher-esque running around in the woods with an axe. And that's only in the last 5 minutes. Then?...it's over.

Making it through this was tedious, man. Don't put yourself through this. There is literally anything else you could be watching
