Not bad at all...

I thought the acting wasn't' bad at all. Of course we are taking into consideration that for most of the actors, it was their first time in a horror. The plot was not very catchy but kept the viewer interested. Evident that Marques was a better actor than Omari. Some of the actors that were main characters did not get enough screen time and at times the repetition of an idea was exaggerated to the point it got annoying but definitely a scare.It was logical for it to premiere on halloween. I wish there had been more content instead of a lot of filler that took away from the horror. Still, not bad I did enjoy it and thought it was worth watching.

Overall good job Chris Stokes! Looking forward to more.

very good for its kind

And better than AX 'EM. Far, far better.But it had a kind of 'SAW' feel to it too. I don't want to spoil things too much!!! Overall good job Chris Stokes! Looking forward to more.

Somebody PLEASE help them... with this movie.

No creative drive behind the well-worn "teens being stalked in the cabin in the woods" narrative from the slasher subgenre. Characters not written with enough depth or aspects/qualities to make the audience sympathize with and/or care about them. Uninteresting protagonist or antagonist. The open ending is no fun at all, made for the sole purpose of leaving a chance for a sequel. (Which of course happened) The tone was handled alright but the pacing is rather dull. Acting is lackluster, below average/solid at best. Filmed decent though some scenes were not lit well. Generic horror film music/score. Overall, the film's a bore, doing nothing to distinguish itself in the slasher genre.

HOSTEL in the deep woods

Several couples descend on a cabin in the woods for a little R&R Unfortunately, there is a mad killer on the loose and he starts picking them off one by one. We get to see some nifty torture sequences straight out of HOSTEL. The acting is strictly from hunger, but what else is new in the slasher category? The novelty of this inexpensive, 80s-style horror flick is that some of the couples are black and the story is largely seen through the eyes of two black guys. Too much wandering around the woods, which is standard for this type of movie, to help pad out the running time. While it will not win any awards, SOMEBODY is watchable. And better than AX 'EM. Far, far better.

Insert obvious joke here

A group of friend vacationing at a cabin in the woods for the weekend for one of their birthdays are menaced by an evil plastic surgeon.

Feautering a bevy of characters, none of which I cared about, getting killed by one of the more lame serial killers of recent memory, this putrid horror film by the director who killed the House Party franchise, this putrid film isn't worth the time spent reviewing it. Followed by a sequel that I will watch as it, like this one, is readily available on Instant Netflix and I seem to be a glutton for punishment. Alas, if it's as bad as, or perish the thought worse then, this one then I'll be in for a very long night indeed.
