Deadly Weekend

No pun intended - Ms Underwood (is that a pun/innuendo too?) looks really stunning. And she probably is best when it comes to "acting" in the movie too. Or I was blinded by her beauty - even so, that doesn't say much, because the others are not really "competition".

We get a film in a film thing in the beginning - and all the nudity you will get in the movie too. Whatever that is going to mean for and to you. Because while they all do look good (in hot pants or whatever else they are wearing), they act irrational/not good throughout (no pun intended).

The effects are quite good - if you care for those. And I reckon there is a sort of neat twist towards the end. Not sure that is a saving grace (and last pun to ... end scene)

This is the worst film (as far as acting is concerned) that I have ever seen I'm my entire long life. The only beautiful thing in this film must be the 2 main actresses. If you are a hot blooded man or a lesbian then you will probably tolerate this crappy badly acted terribly directed film. It is an insult to peoples intelligence to say the least. The worst actresses in the whole entire world are the two young ones. They should never be allowed in front of a camera ever again. In fact if I ever see them in any other movie I will switch off immediately. Please people avoid this like the plague except if you want to see the playboy centrefold girl from playboy not so naked in this hideous movie.

Sometimes you just got to stop and actually pay heed to the reviews that you stumble upon here and there, and also to the low rating that a movie scores. But as taste and preference is a matter of personal opinion, you just got to take a chance every now and again.

"Deadly Weekend" was not worth the chance at all. This is really an unfathomably slow and dimwitted movie that requires absolutely nothing from the audience. Just unhook all mental capacity, then you are ready for this movie.

Oh, and you might want to brace yourself for about an hour and a half of absolutely nothing worthwhile. The storyline was forced and wooden, leaving no room for any surprises, twists or even unforeseen turn of events.

The acting in the movie, well, I have seen worse, but there is a mighty gap from what was portrayed in this movie up to something that was passable as mediocre.

As for the effects, well, then they worked out well enough, and those were basically everything that had any leverage in this movie. And there was a fair amount of blood and mayhem in the movie to peak some gorehound's interest. But it was hardly sufficient to carry the rest of the movie.

It was as if this movie was a remnant from a mid 1980's horror movie, where they piled together unused footage and ideas.

For a thriller / horror movie, then "Deadly Weekend" was a rather boring and uneventful addition to the history of cinema.

Just skip to 24.18.. The only enjoyable part of the movie. The two main villains were a good twist until no-one fought back against them.. which ruined it for me, could of easily been overpowered. Miss Underwood is easy on the eye to say the least... her other mate could also fill out a swimsuit.

Deadly Weekend spends the first 40 or so minutes in the company of two couples camping in the wilderness. The guys play football and the girls lounge around in teeny tiny shorts and cropped vests that barely contain their ample chests. The script has the friends falling out over past sexual encounters, none of which has any real bearing on the plot as three out of the four wind up dead before the end credits roll.

A pair of young psychotic sisters (Haley Sehgal and Chelsea Lee Wheatley) are responsible for the deaths, luring the campers to their home where they drug them and mutilate them for kicks. This part of the film is pure torture porn, and much more entertaining than watching the friends getting drunk around a camp fire. There are some effective gore effects, and the whole thing is made a tad more shocking due to the tender ages of those committing the atrocities.

The last act revolves around 'final girl' Katie (Sara Jean Underwood) trying to escape from the two mini-psychos and their equally deranged father (Kevin J. O'Neill). The film was no award winner up to this point, but things get really dumb when Katie fails to give her attackers a whack with an axe when the opportunity arises, instead throwing down her weapon to try and make a run for it. This level of stupidity is rewarded when Katie is recaptured and presumably subjected to more pain and suffering.

Jason Sutton's direction is crude (this is his one and only film as director), the dialogue (also by Sutton) is weak, and the acting is entry level at best, although I get the feeling that the two main actresses weren't cast for their abilities as thespians.

A generous 3/10 for the babes and the gore.
