I love 80's slasher movies, so the trailer for this this flick really caught my eye. I loved the idea of making a homage to 80's slashers without being a full blown spoof.
So once we are introduced to all our characters things start to move at a snails pace, the film creates some chemistry between a few of the characters but then completely ditches that in an effort to surprise us with the kill order. I like that they decided first kill off the characters that you would expect to make it to the end, but they kill everyone off pretty rapidly the kill order really doesn't matter.
That's the main thing I disliked about this, things really don't get going until the last 20 minutes and when they finally do it all just happens so fast, characters are killed off left and right and not really in any interesting or cool ways. It's like they focused way too much on trying to make this feel 80's but then remembered at the last minute that this is suppose to be a slasher movie.
I think most people will dislike this movie, there isn't really a whole lot to like. But I love slashers and I love 80's slashers even more so I enjoyed this a bit, still not a very good movie though.
4/10
