This movie was one of the worst movies I have ever wasted my time on. If you pick it up in a store, put it back fast. It is absolutely terrible and I cannot believe that someone actually wasted money making it. The acting is terrible, the story is terrible and it actually contained nothing but a black screen near the end of the movie. Had to listen to the victim and watch a blank screen for 10 minutes straight. It makes you wonder what the hell was going on in the mind of this director and also, where in the hell did he get these actors to play in this incredibly boring film (if that is what you can call it). It would be more entertaining to sit at home and watch reruns of Lassie. It is possibly one of the worst movies ever made.

This movie was awful, thanks goodness for Redbox, but you know, it's not even worth the $1.00 rental. Since I am in the thankful mood, let me also be thankful for fast forward, because that's what I did through most of the movie. Don't rent this piece of trash movie. I thought that Kayla was a pretty good actor, but I must admit that I was expecting something a little more original. What alluded me to rent this movie was the tag-line (out of all things) but it failed to deliver on some many levels. Speaking of levels, this movie wasted my time in not only watching it, but also in writing this review. It probably would have been better if it would have been filmed from a third person perspective. Lastly, I can't believe they used such a great quote from Jame A. Froude to open up this movie; it really gave me great expectations, but as you can by now painfully tell, this movie is not worth your time don watch it.

Random!!! Random!!! Random!!! Loved the movie just because of the originality, but if a random killing is to be random, then make it random. From there, whatever, really. Would be smart to not pick someone in your stupid town, let alone someone you go to class with. Being more worried about who and how isn't really of importance if it's random. I would think when (time) be more of importance. Location can be random, but of course if you do it in broad daylight and on main street, it's sort of destroying everything you had "planned", worked for. Oh, don't document something you want to not be known for doing, you stupid amateur. I guess to be truly random and just not to give a flying *bleep*, lol... Just shoot the next person you see in the face and be put to death or at the very least, death row. Good luck! :D

Well, it was once again a night where with nothing better to do and no new releases in the Red Box that I wanted to see and had not already seen, I decided to take a gamble on a movie that sounded interesting, in spite of never having heard of it or heard of the production company. Unfortunately, I struck out this time. What sounded like an interesting and possibility entertaining flick on the Red Box summary was just another example of really insidious false advertising. The summary itself was misleading, speaking of half truths pertaining to the plot and making it sound far more entertaining than it was.

The honest run down: Three small town college kids are bored and decide that a great way to kill time is to... well kill someone. Each has their own reason, each more stereotypical than the last, such as the Apathetic character who never feels anything and hates life, or the character who is angry at their parents for never being around and decides taking out years of pent up anger on a stranger would be therapeutic. No matter the reasoning or justification, it's still three college kids who decide to make their mark on the world by becoming murderers.

The kids film the entire process in a documentary style format, filming themselves making plans and speaking of subjects that the writers probably thought to be deep, but with poor scripting and much less than interesting characters, the dialog completely fell flat and made the movie tedious and just that much longer. It took far too long for anything interesting to happen, and even then, just when you thought things would pick up, you are treated to the slowest moving and least entertaining part of the film yet.

The idea was interesting in and of itself, but the execution was terrible. Sub par directing, bad script, okay acting (at least it was not bad, but it was not good either)and sloth styled pacing made the movie impossible to enjoy. It was not that it was annoying, or stupid or even baffling, rather so much as it was just so boring and lacking of creativity. You watch the movie with one eye, the other resting on your watch wondering when it will end.

I gave it a 3/10. It's not the worst I've ever seen by and far, but as stated, pacing so slow it almost seems to go backwards, bad dialog, okay acting and a lack of creativity made this a dredging process to get through.

Yes, the film is slow at times and yes, it does lack in scare a bit but for anyone who has made a feature length film of any kind, low budget or not it is a great little watch. The I did really hate the main character but that in is the paradox right because they are playing annoying idiots who really have no clue what the hell they are doing. And it is the quality that I liked best about them is that they made me want to hate them. That is the goal of any villains of any film, at least the best ones. The rest of the film could have used a bit of work but again for a first time thing for most of those involved is not a bad watch at all.
