You know what? This is pretty incompetent in a few ways, but the incompetence works for it.

This is a murder mystery of the old school. You are introduced to characters. Murders are being committed. Clues are placed around. Many suspects and many motives are given.

There is a chatroom angle, but that does not matter. There is a horror genre angle, but that does not matter either.

What matters is that you really are allowed to be the detective. There are none of the detective genre devices that you expect to find. The situation is very chaotic, more nonsensical than the conventions allow. That's what makes it work. Yes, you are a bit surprised at the end. But they play fair, and in the denouement, you have the film flashbacks to attest that the solution was under your nose.

The production values are pretty bad. And the lines are profoundly juvenile. But the mystery itself: cool stuff.

Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

Detail is what seems to be missing from this type of film. If it has the detail then it's so good, but if it doesn't have detail as is the case of this film, I spend my time looking for faults that the writers missed.

When the cop is asked what kind of car was driven and he says I don't remember. My first thought was, "Now what cop misses big details like that?".

Film is just bad. I've seen William Forsythe do a much better job of acting, but given he was following a directors direction with a crap script his lack of performance is understandable.

For the most part Terri Colombino is one of the players that given what she had to work with did a pretty good job. I guess that the biggest disappointment was that the fake land lady never did do a nude scene in the film. I looked like she had the rack to set a world record!

I saw the cast list and that really was the main draw to this film.

I think it is definitely the script which lets this film down badly There are three plots in this film. While one sub-plot certainly did a nice job of setting up a red herring and lots of soft-core T&A, the third plot was off on its own little island with almost no connection to the events in the main plot. It only slowed the film right down and destroyed any tension being built up in the main plot. The main plot itself was not very original done but if more of the film was spent with it would definitely have been a better film to watch Many scenes appeared to have no connection to any part of the story at all. Most of the acting was competent but the male lead while pretty enough was just not very convincing. While Forsythe certainly acted better and got more screen time unfortunately this was all part of the irrelevant sub-plot. Actually both leads were boring sketches of characters and the more interesting supporting cast were all sidelined in favour of the nice, young, white couple. Perhaps this film did make more sense at one time but someone butchered it

I only gave this movie a 4 because it had Tony Todd in it. This story was beyond predictable to anyone that is a fan of this genre. William Forsythe took a role that was beneath him and his poor acting showed it, otherwise the established actors in this movie did a great job. That can't be said for the rest of the cast. It was a poorly done story that did not give finality to some some people and no decent background to others. The relationships in the movie were unrealistic for the most part. They chose to do a close-up shot on an actress with yellow teeth, which grossed me out. Whoever made this movie, kudos for getting the established actors, shame on you for casting William Forsythe in a role he is not suited for and go back to school to learn about making a good movie and telling a story well.

This is the biggest mess of a movie I think I have ever seen. I love B movies, but this was clearly an F. This was not a horror movie. It wasn't even a thriller. The only redeeming value of this movie is that every scene is completely laughable. The script is horrible. The directing is even even worse. I've watched porn with better acting, writing, and direction than this! I feel sorry for all the actors that were in this. I've seen them in better, but it's their fault for choosing to be in this garbage (unless they didn't even read the script before accepting the roles).

For as little screen time as Tony Todd has, he was the best thing about this movie. I feel sorry for Bill Dee and especially William Forsythe. They were obviously doing this flick for a paycheck. But William is better than this trash.

Avoid this movie at all costs if you're sober -- unless you want to laugh!!! It will be even funnier if you're drunk with a group of friends.

I would give this NO STARS if I could.
