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.

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.

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.
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 saw the cover with a completely misleading point of the movie, it really lacked creativity, it was not to well done with the kind of budget they were working with... I saw it had America Olivo in it and was also on the front cover, usually I like her movies but, they had her do a thick accent and she had probably the least air time of the entire cast, it really did not make a whole lot of sense, why some of the characters were even there, the story line was really bad, just not done well, as it being a horror movie, there was little to any gore or violent part shown on screen... It's like they could not even afford the fake blood... Of course there is a bit of some nice T&A, but not much... No captions, so good luck understanding all of what is said... Trust me, don't waste your time on this one unless you just have to see America Olivo's bare chest for a minute...
