It might be 36 steps for them ...

... but it definitely feels like a marathon for you, while you're watching it. But let me put it clearer, because my analogy isn't that easy to follow. You have a low budget movie here, that succeeds to undermine your expectations. With a script that must have been put loosely together, a misogynistic central theme and "acting" that does not deserve to be named that way, there is very little to get excited about here.

Even if you are into slasher movies, the pacing, the story and most of all the completely annoying characters (or their portrayal by the actors) will leave you with a bitter taste. From start until way after the movie has ended ... But even a movie like this seems to have it's followers, as I can see by some voting and comments here. And while I do admit that I'm stunned by that fact, I still respect their views. But not the ones stating that there is good acting in the movie and even less the statements giving the movie another dimension, by just making up reasons why the filmmaker did this movie.

This is not a philosophical movie and even the ending, which picks up pace, comes too late to save anything. Yes this is low-budget, yes there are a few good looking women in bikinis ... but if it's the latter your after, you're better off with a nice magazine!
