I never write reviews but after having to sit through this I just can't fathom how a movie this bad can be funded and released. The worse acting, the worse plot, an old style typical chase scene that fizzles and the most unfulfilled, stupid ending of all time. Is just so bad I hope the creative team never get a chance to be hired ever again in the film business. Thats how bad this is - a total failure and a rip off all round. Some bad movies can be funny - this one just leaves you shaking your head in disbelief when its over. The film has no redeeming features but I must point out how bad the acting is. The plot has been done a thousand times and is so predictable it leaves you yawning. At least I didn't pay for it, it was on my premium pay network but I do resent them carrying this and will let them know. I pay for them to sort out the good films from the bad not just put on anything that gets released. Don't waste your time on this one.

I am shocked that this wannabe horror/thriller movie, that is far from thrilling and just plain horrible rated a 5.6 out of 10 across 25 votes. Although it has elements that are very common to the genre, such as: large-breasted eye candy, a group of clueless and hare-brained young adults, it really struggles to put these elements together to form something worthwhile. While the acting is not terrible, it's far from good. The plot is mediocre at best and does little in terms of pulling the viewer into the experience. I found it hard to sympathize with the characters; partly due to their stupidity. I was also extremely disappointed with the ending as this whole movie built up to a very non-climactic resolution. Thumbs down all around.

Basically, this is about a glorified psychopath that has escaped. They keep talking about how smart he is, how his light eyes signify "power," and blah blah blah, but they fail to produce any evidence of his genius and power. He's basically just a guy who started killing small animals and graduated to killing people - your basic serial killer. To be honest, I was surfing the web the entire time I was watching this, which actually made it slightly more enjoyable. I think if I wasn't surfing the web, it would have been brutally slow, predictable, and painful to watch. You can pretty much see all of the twists and turns (if you can call them that) coming, and even the dialog is predictable.

Supposedly, the killer is into some kind of Greek numerology, which if done correctly, it's supposed to give him that much more power. They go into it briefly, but it's something that a high school student's imagination can come up with and then they don't really go too far in depth on it. So, it's a half hearted effort to mystify the killer and provide some insight into why he does what he does. Overall, since it was slightly entertaining while surfing the web I'd put this between a 3 and a 4, but I decided to be generous and give it a 4.

When a serial killer escapes from prison and returns to his childhood home, an FBI team races to stop him from continuing his rampage on the grad students who have moved into the home to conduct research on the very psychopath.

A surprisingly decent and far more watchable slasher effort than expected, as this one manages to contain some pretty interesting and intriguing stuff than expected. This is mostly due to the rather fun times contained within the opening set-up, which not only manages to get them there in a pretty timely manner but also sets up their purpose nicely as to their investigation and discoveries around the house with typical slasher film expectations thrown in before it gets to the stalking and abducting, which are pretty creepy at times and definitely worthwhile. The only flaw to this, which really has a lot of good stuff about it as well, is that this stuff is running congruently with the team investigating the escape and his criminal past, which includes them butting heads with each other, trying to use their area of expertise to get ahead over the other and the eventual discovery that working together allows them to solve the case. It's all pretty cliché and definitely quite dull, but is odd since the slow unraveling of the clues and the puzzle of it all is pretty interesting and keeps the film going along nicely, but had this dropped the tons of clichés and put the crime-scene-investigation antics to a minimum this could've been much more enjoyable.

Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, an obscured sex scene and drug use.

This film is not even worth a single star, despite the plot sounding slightly promising.

To put it frankly, nothing happens. The film is made up of 95% utter garbage that is in no way linked to the plot, 1% action(God awful action at that) and 4% credits. It is hard to understand how the creators of this pathetic excuse for entertainment managed to even get any action out of the atrocious plot line at all.

Unfortunately, this film can't even classify itself as a "so bad it's good horror film". Anyone who manages to actually endure this film for an hour and a half would most definitely hold up under extreme torture techniques.

Avoid at all costs.
