I'm not sure where these positive or semi-positive reviews are coming from, but this movie is utterly ridiculous ... even if we account for "campiness", b-movie horror and the like.
The thinking and decisions of the characters involved are worst than the most brainless, drugged up teenagers who head up most slasher movies. It's so anti-intellectual that's it's often painful to watch.
Strangely, the production values are decent which gives it the feel of a much better movie. One would think a film veteran like Elizabeth Banks would have a better handle on things ... and that someone like Liota would stay as far away from something this as possible ... yet here they are.
I'll give it a few points for the acting (this is not their fault) and the production values, but I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone I considered a friend.
