Featured reviews
I know horror movies and apart from that I have been a salesman for many years. This movie was an opportunity to find myself identified with some character but unfortunately the characters present here were unbearable: a Hindu with parental problems, a Korean with a good sense of humor, a drug addict and a traumatized boy with forced laughter. They arrive in a sales campaign where Kane Hodder and the problems begin. Here the film descends to levels of martyrdom and script errors begin to appear: if there are young people you must have a nude sequence. There isn't. If you must insert a psychiatric question at least you must tell something so that the conclusion is more acceptable. None of that happens. Situations appear for no reason and everything loses interest while people we don't care about die. This movie is very bad and the only thing that saves it is Kane Hodder simply because he is Jason, Victor Crowley and he is a decent actor.

If you're a fan of teen horror/comedy this movie is perfect for you. It reminds me of the new Fear Street movies on Netflix - good, campy fun! Of course, knifecorp has a horror legend in Kane Hodder - definitely worth a watch!
Watching this film, I realise why Kane Hodder never got speaking parts. Lame plot, terrible acting. How anybody dare compare to Fear Street is beyond me. You can see he tries to do Jason like kills but it just fails totally.
Good movie to watch for especially the kane hodder the movie is simple but great acting from all characters make it a must see movie.
There is no way this was written by people who wanted to tell an entertaining story. Granted, there are the very vaguest bones of an idea hiding beneath the bloated flesh of what actually happens, but none of them really come to the surface.
Acting is barely passable. All technical aspects seem to be done professionally enough. The house is a gorgeous setting. But the script and 'humor' and 'horror' are giant fails.
This didn't lean hard enough into the comedy aspects, so the caricatures come across as insulting stereotypes. Nor did it lean hard enough into the horror aspects, meaning it wasn't gruesome or creepy. Characters were stupidly flawed, cell service failure was yada-yada 'a dead zone', and nothing really made sense. Even the twist and follow up were hollow and weak.
I truly believe that whomever was in charge expected that having some horror icons in the cast would elevate this to cult status and all the numerous flaws would be overlooked. But nothing about the movie hits that cult, spoof, self-aware, cheesiness that it was looking for.

- TriviaThe movie re unites two 80's slasher icons. Kane Hodder who portrayed Jason in 4 of the "Friday the 13th" films and Felissa Rose who portrayed Angela in Massacre au camp d'été (1983).
- GoofsWally mistakenly refers to modern US pennies as being made of solid copper. They are, in fact, made almost entirely of zinc, with only a plating of copper. This has been in effect since the US Mint began issuing the new one-cent coin in the early 1980's, but keeping the President Lincoln portrait on the obverse. Hence, the nickname "zincons".
- Quotes
Wally Banks: Now, tell me, Mr. Finn, have you even seen a pair of scissors so sharp that can cut right through copper?
Angus Finn: Oh, sure, let's just deface some U.S. currency.
