Warning: Spoilers
The Creators of Master Pranksters decide to step up their game for their season finale.

After Ethan announces that he is getting married and leaving the internet show, the others decide to pull off one final stunt............ on their friend's honeymoon.

But it soon spirals into more than a joke when the prank goes too far and the members of the group start dying........

The found footage genre can be a cesspool of filth and rubbish. But wade through the dirge and sometimes you can find little nuggets of gold. And here is another horror movie worth treading through all the proverbial.

It starts off like any other Found Footage Movie (FFM). We are introduced to the rag-tag team of Jackass wannabe jokesters, and so far it's as predictable as all the others. But all FFM have to have some sort of set up, to introduce you to the characters and their traits, so the film can move on into the concept of the found footage, because these films don't like to hang around with old Basil Exposition do they?

So it isn't long before we are at the 'Cabin In The Woods' and all the fun and games begin.

From then on in, it's a pretty tense movie, with a beautiful claustrophobic setting, and for such a low budget efforts quite visceral effects.

The acting isn't the best thing in the world, and the wedding scene gives way too much away, but for a FFM, it's a step up from rubbish like Area 51 and other FFM trying to do something different.
