...in order to dissuade prospective viewers from wasting their time watching it. A buddy of mine found it at the library and let me borrow it if I promised to return it on time. I was tempted to turn it in late just to teach him a lesson, and you may rightfully guess that my opinion of his taste in movies dropped a notch or two. I suspect he was simply bedazzled by the occasional baring of boobies, infrequent as that flashing was. That, and like me he's got a thing for Juliet Landau.

"Hack!" is basically a poor man's version of "Scream," and nowhere near as entertaining. I'll admit its heart was in the right place (top shelf, second drawer), but the execution left much to be desired. Much. And I do mean much.

Tyro writer/director Matt Flynn and his crew give it a go, but we all know about good intentions and damned infrastructure. Flynn's script just isn't polished enough to survive the film's low budget. The incessant genre references get old fast (been there, done that), much of the dialog sounds bogus (though there are a few gems amongst the dross), and dramatic structure is almost non-existent. Suspense and tension ARE non-existent. The sound at times is poor. Much of "Hack!" seemed badly lit, and I don't mean purposefully. DP Roger "Loaded" Chingirian does what he can (and a number of shots are quite nice), but the storytelling just isn't visual enough to matter.

The acting is hardly award-winning, but when you're hamstrung with a clunker, whaddaya do? Standouts include the above-mentioned Juliet "Ed Wood" Landau as a wannabe filmmaker with a perverse kink or two, Sean "The Bold and the Beautiful" Kanan as her even more twisted hubby, Danica "Inspector Mom" McKellar assaying the "gotcha" girl (which any astute viewer will see coming from miles away), and Jay Kenneth "Days of Our Lives" Johnson manfully taking on the romantic lead. Burt "Rocky" Young and Tony "Me, too!" Burton make token appearances, along with William "Raising Arizona" Forsythe, proving once again that even respected professionals can take a paycheck and run.

I've already devoted far too many words to a movie that is best critiqued as "eh, there are plenty of better choices for your entertainment dollar." I tried it because Forsythe was in it, and more so, the delectable Ms. Landau. Sadly, even that didn't really make it a worthwhile time-killer. I suppose your mileage may vary, but I'd just as soon go back and watch "Scream" again. Or "Ed Wood". Now, there was a guy who knew how to make bad movies....

Written and directed by Matt Flynn, this medium-budget SCREAM-inspired slasher is full of horror film references and in-jokes, many of which are far too obvious, annoying and in-your-face to be even remotely amusing, while a few are kind of clever and more obscure when they aren't blatantly pointing out the film to us. Despite the very low rating here on IMDb (2.7 as of this writing), I think enough effort was put into this to make it watchable and it was entertaining for the most part. HACK! opens with a man being decapitated with a saw before cutting to a bunch of college students who seem obsessed with, and never stop talking about, various horror films. The characters are your usual stereotypes, though this film at least tries to give us a reason for that. We have sweet, geeky, pretty teaching assistant Emily (Danica McKellar), good-looking nice guy Johnny (Jay Kenneth Johnson), hot big-breasted foreign exchange student Sylvia (Gabrielle Richens), obnoxious football jock Tim (Travis Schuldt), "flamboyant" gay Asian Ricky (Justin Chon), pot-smoking black guy Q (Won-G) and trashy alternative chick Maddy (Adrienne Frantz). They, along with their professor Mr. Argento (producer Mike Wittlin), go to a nearly-secluded island for a science-related field trip that no one actually seems to care about once they get there. A friendly and equally film-obsessed couple; Mary Shelley (Juliet Landau) and Vincent King (Sean Kanan, also a producer) put the students up for the weekend and naturally, someone in the group starts killing off the others. It seems that Mary and Vincent are actually amateur filmmakers themselves and want to shoot their own "reality horror" (i.e. snuff) movie using the students as their victims. There are also a few expected twists you may or may not see coming.

Despite the rampant clichés, countless movie references (HELLRAISER, THE RING, DEAD CALM, FATAL ATTRACTION and JAWS, just to name a few) and the often-annoying non-stop chatter about various horror films, it's upbeat, energetic, fairly well-made when it comes to editing, photography and fx and gives slasher fans the gore and nudity they expect to see. The whole cast look like they had a good time making it and sometimes a little enthusiasm goes a long way, as is the case with this one. Kane Hodder appears in a one-scene cameo at the beginning and there are also cameos by Burt Young of ROCKY fame (playing the boat captain who shuttles the students to the island) and William Forsythe (as some kind of long-haired Scottish or Irish survivalist type who also lives on the island).

This is the weirdest and most pointless slasher-movie I have ever seen! The problem is that I'm not quite sure why I am so upset about it. It has some form of storyline, but it is totally predictable and there are very few surprises. I don't know if the audience is supposed to understand everything long before it is revealed or if the story is just thin or non-existing.

My opinion is that its supposed to make fun of all the horror-movie clichés and guide us step by step through every one of them. The problem is that people are fed up with clichés and therefor there is no point of packing a movie full of it and expect people to be entertained, just by pointing out at the end that "Yes, this movie is about a movie that is full of clichés"...! On top of that, it is done with so little grace and charm, that it's just bad taste (and not in a good horror-movie kinda way).

This movie is supposed to be scary, it's not at all! You know why? It's full of clichés! It is supposed to be funny, it's not at all? You know why? Because the dialog is terrible and boring, because, well... it's full of clichés! I smiled ONE time from all the "funny" lines in the movie and that was from the "we're gonna need a bigger boat"-joke. The acting is by far the worst I have seen in a long time and that is probably also because it is supposed to be that way, since it is a cliché in horror movies... The editing is done by an amateur and the score is also pretty bad.

So... what do we have? A movie that's supposed to entertain people with clichés! Sounds fun? It's not! The first Scream-movie did it, because it was the first one, but to do so, you have to have a good script, timing, charm, good actors (that can actually play "bad-acting"), a good director and a final twist that gives all the clichés you have been watching a purpose.

This movie has neither! It just makes you wait and wait for that "final climax", but it never appears...

It is just poorly written and pointless! People avoid movies that are full of clichés, bad acting, bad story and bad violence, so why make us sit through 90 minutes of it for no reason? All though, if you have read this BEFORE you see the movie, you may not have to!

I actually really dig the premise behind the movie.

Lets say more tongue in check and exploratory of horror clichés then Scream, but not a full blown spoof like Scary Movie.

Aesthetically the casting was really good. The jock, the slutty girl, the alt chick etc etc. But the acting, even though I'm sure the directing was half to blame, just let most of the scenes down. Had there been better chemistry between the actors, it could've worked a lot better. The characterisation also seemed as though it couldn't decide on how certain aspects of the characters were being represented.

Actually the whole movie didn't know how to represent itself. I remember thinking 'is this a spoof?' a few times half way through, and honestly, I wasn't sure until the very end. Even though there were parts that were pretty obviously 'spoof like' they just came across as bad, or illogical. E.g. When you find out the nerd girl was bad, and you remember how she was acting at the start of the movie, and when she was by herself getting on the boat etc. Just illogical.

For the movie to have been truly effective as a newly invented sub genre. The 'Suprise Spoof', lol. It really had to have been a GOOD horror movie for the first two thirds. Even if it was in a clichéd horror way, it just had to have been well shot, and well acted. But alas it just plain sucked.

This movie doesn't even deserve a review this long, but there's two other things I want to mention. It canes me that Juliet Landau was cast in this cos that most probably means the guy that made it is a Buffy fan. As a Buffy fan I want to hurt him.

Also the only reason I gave this two stars instead of one, which is fairly akin to giving one star as you can't give zero (which I figure is because it would mess up the combined ratings), was for the shining scene, because it wasn't expected and was overall a neat reference.

2/10

(reviewed after first viewing)

I'm not sure what the last reviewer saw in this film that I didn't because I have to say this was one of the worst movies I ever saw. I'd go as far as saying William Forsythe's Scottish "accent" was the best thing in the movie and THAT sounded Irish and bad Irish at that. True, the film is full of cliché's and references to other horror/slasher movies and where some will say it was appropriate to the storyline, I'd say there was no originality. There were no "scary" moments and no suspense whatsoever and the blood & gore effects were right out of a 50's B-movie. One scene where someone was shot while close to the camera you could see that the blood splatter was superimposed and was moving independent of the "actor". Note the quotes, no one in this movie could act. One or two scenes were inappropriate and could have been left out all together but there are weird people out there who would probably lap them up. I really can't think of anything positive about this move and found myself skipping five minutes at a time to make it end sooner only out of curiosity that I was right about a possible twist. I must have skipped at least half an hour but I promise you, I saw the whole movie.

I always considered William Forsythe as a great actor but after seeing him in this, I'm beginning to think I was wrong, you see great actors sometimes don't need much direction and it looked like he didn't get much in this movie proving that he needs it to look good on screen. Every other actor in the movie I have never seen before except for the two cops, one about 80 yrs old and the other an idiot who fitted in with the rest of the characters.

Without giving away any of the plot, at the end of the movie there was a scene where it flashed through the victims and to be honest, I'd actually forgotten about them being in the movie at all. What I'm trying to say is, there is nothing memorable about the characters, the plot and the acting other than it was ALL bad. Why is it in slasher movies that cell phones never get a signal, when someone goes missing they go looking for them at night and not during the day. Why do they all split up and make a lot of noise shouting when they know there may be a killer out there. This is what I mean about no originality, every slasher movie is exactly the same with one exception, some can pull it off, this movie doesn't. If you want to see a better movie, go and rent Plan 9 from outer space.

A class trip to an island turns into a nightmare as the college students hoping for a high grade to boost their GPA fall prey to their hosts, a married couple, obsessed film buffs, who record those they murder in ways associated with horror movies.

This, at first, appears to be just another formula slasher. You have a check list of stereotypes that normally appear in slashers and can pretty much mark an X by the characters who will die as the film continues. But, what sets it apart from the fray of the usual is the wicked sense of humor, expert casting of genre veterans, and some perverse acts by a bizarre couple of psychos. But, also important is that HACK! actually plays against norm in that a guy actually is the one at the end fleeing from killers. And, a specific twist regarding a third(..and possibly fourth)party perhaps involved with the psychotic duo certainly adds to the terror for our hero, Jay Kenneth Johnson(..as the hunk Johnny)as he must find a way out a very sticky situation as his friends are dead and his options of escape are limited. Danica McKellar(..the cutie from Wonder Years)is "nerded" up as the unflappable, scholarly Emily, but we all know that a pair of glasses and braided hair can not mask the babe underneath the disguise. Emily is google-eyed for Johnny, who, in a change of pace for a slasher film, actually takes up for her when fellow classmates poke fun at her supposed dorky nature..yet, Johnny is still able to gain rapport with his fellow students because he's just a cool dude. The rest of cast are merely supplying cultural stereotypes bound for violent death..a dumb, impolite jock quarterback needing a high grade to make his football team, a sexpot, a foul-mouthed, weed-smoking skank, an Asian homosexual whose sexual orientation is the butt of many jokes and gags, and the token black character who supplies the pot, talks ghetto and is always trying to dial up someone on his cellphone that doesn't work(..imagine that). Most of these characters service the film as victims running through the island woods as the predators give chase. There's a dungeon the loonies have, a chamber of horrors where destroyed victims, grisly corpses, are used as set-pieces for memorable images in movies like Hellraiser & Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and one captured character is held in a large bird cage over a piranha-infested water hole!

Surprising number of recognizable faces pop up in minor parts such as Kane Hodder(..as the opening victim trying to escape from his pursuers), Burt Young(..as a crusty boat captain who takes the crew to the island), Tony Burton(..as nervous Sheriff Stoker, who worries that something dire has happened to the kids when they don't return;he has a scene with ROCKY co-star Burt Young which might bring a grin to fans' faces), William Forsythe(..as a gruff Irish island fisherman who attempts to save the day, and has some memorable exchanges with the psychos), and Lochlyn Munro(..as Burton's moronic deputy). Lots of in-jokes such as the names of the crazies, Vincent King(Sean Kanan, whose chiseled features and clean-cut looks adds a unique dimension to his nutcase)and Mary Shelley(Juliet Landau;who's always obviously a bit weird, her camera by her side at all times ready to record even the most mundane occurrences for a "new movie"). Even the professor, who is to chaperon the students, is named Mr. Argento(..nice!). There also an abundance of references to horror classics and iconic characters popping up in the dialogue. This is made by filmmakers who love the genre and try to express that in as many ways as possible. The violence derives from an ax, hand gun(..rarely a weapon used in horror) shot gun(..makes a real bloody mess of a victim's skull), thrown loose brick, a well(..the homage to The Grudge is quite an eye-opener), clown's hammer(!), chainsaw, and a spinning saw blade(..decapitating a bound person's leg as he screams in horror). A thrown saw blade decapitates a victim whose leaning up against a tree. Lots of gore and viscera. Gabrielle Richens as Sylvia, a foreign exchange student lusting for the quarterback, is quite a looker. Once McKellar is able to shed her geeky disguise..yummy. Slasher fans might embrace this one..it's dark heart is in the right place.

A motley group of college students embark on a field trip to the remote island estate of charming filmmaker Vincent King (solid Sean Kanan) and his flaky wife Mary Shelley (a delightfully dotty portrayal by Juliet Landau). Of course, a vicious killer starts picking the kids off left and right in assorted gruesome ways inspired by both classic and contemporary horror movies alike. Writer/director Matt Flynn delivers an entertainingly campy body count romp that displays a positively infectious love and affection for horror cinema; he sprinkles the picture with numerous witty and knowing references to such bona-fide classics as "The Birds," "Jaws," "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," and "The Shining," cheerfully parodies all the tried'n'true clichés ("They always make us separate in these movies"), and pulls out all the stops for a hilariously ridiculous over-the-top conclusion while also pouring on the nice'n'nasty graphic gore with rip-roaring aplomb and even tossing in a decent smattering of tasty gratuitous female nudity for good measure. The enthusiastic cast have a ball with their colorful roles: the adorable Danica McKellar contributes an endearingly spunky performance as the sweetly geeky Emily, Jay Kenneth Johnson is likewise engaging as affable hunk Johnny, William Forsythe gleefully hams it up and sports a broad Scottish brogue as scraggly fisherman Willy, plus there are lively turns by Adrienne Frantz as the snarky, foul-mouthed Maddy, the ravishing Gabrielle Richens as sultry vamp Sylvia, and Justin Chon as sarcastic and effeminate smartaleck Ricky. Popping up in cool small roles are Tony Burton as the amiable Sheriff Stoker, Burt Young as crusty old sea salt skipper J.T. Bates, and Kane Hodder as the first victim who gets decapitated at the start of the film. Roger Chingirian's slick cinematography, Scott Glasgow's spirited shuddery score, and the bouncy rock soundtrack all further add to the considerable nutty fun. An extremely enjoyable slice'n'dice outing.

Hack! starts as seven college students & their teacher Mr Argento (executive producer & producer Mike Wittlin) that signed up for a biology project board a boat & sail to a small isolated island owned by husband & wife Vincent (Sean Kanan) & Mary Shelley King (Juliet Landau) to study the indigenous wildlife, what could possibly go wrong? Well the fact that Vincent & Mary Shelley are both homicidal snuff film makers who are working on their masterpiece & want our bunch of teens to star in it could cut their careers in biology rather short...

Written & directed by Matt Flyn this a is a fairly good teen slasher that could have been better but could just have easily been worse. The script which never takes itself too seriously is a fan-boy geeks wet dream come true, it's absolutely stuffed with film references, homages, rip-offs & clichés. In fact I don't think I've ever seen another film as blatant as Hack! when it comes to stealing dialogue, situations, name-checking actors & referring to loads of other films. From lines like 'was Psycho shot here?' to discussions on their favourite horror films to an Indiana Jones rip-off as someone does some fancy karate moves before someone just shoots him to bits of scenery like the boat which is called the Orca definitely as in the killer whale flick Orca (1977) then the snuff film makers base their film on other films like The Birds (1963), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) & Hellraiser (1987) among others to the way someone talks about the people on the island in terms of film clichés & several character's are named after horror film icons, Mr Argento anyone? This constant self referential fan-boy dialogue is fun at times but does get a bit old as literally every opportunity is used to slip a film title, cliché or homage into the story. Then there's the fact that the snuff film doesn't really feature that much or is particularly relevant, basically this is a Friday the 13th (1980) teen slasher with a thin snuff film sub plot that doesn't amount to much except for a few throw away lines at the end. Then there's the character's who are alright but not brilliant, the teens aren't too annoying but why did Vincent suddenly turn on his wife Mary Shelley & kill her? There's no reason, motivation or explanation for it at all. Then there's that Scottish guy Willy, where the hell did he come from & who was he? He is never given any back-story & just suddenly turns up without any satisfactory explanation.

Director Flyn does a pretty good job here, it's well made & it actually looks like a proper film which many low budget horrors can't boast. It's not overly stylish or imaginative but it looks nice enough. I wouldn't say it's scary as it's too silly. The gore is decent but it definitely feels like an 'R' rated film, the blood & violence just seems restrained & quite brief. There are decapitations, severed limbs, someone gets a hook through the back of their head, someone is killed with a chainsaw & their severed upper torso is seen, someones head is bashed with a mallet, someone gets an axe in the stomach, someone gets a chunk of flesh bitten from their neck, someone falls down a well & is impaled on branches/spikes at the bottom, someone gets a axe in the shoulder, people are shot with arrows & there are several shotgun kills including a shot of the back of someones head exploding open.

With a supposed healthy sounding budget of about $2,000,000 technically the film is good, everything considered even impressive. Most low budget horror flicks don't look anywhere near as good as this. The special effects are good with the absolute minimum usage of horrible CGI & the satisfying use of proper on set special make-up prosthetic effects. The acting is alright I suppose, the teen cast is suitably good looking both boys & girls even though personally I'm only interested in the girls.

Hack! is an OK teen slasher, forget about the snuff film angle because it doesn't feature that prominently & therefore it's a silly Friday the 13th clone which has some decent gore & some amusing fan-boy dialogue although it does get old before it's end. If your a horror fan then Hack! is well worth a watch especially when you consider the crap that gets released these days, definitely one of the better low budget horror film from this year.

Me and my partner rented Hack thinking that it would be quite a good/gory horror film but i was very disappointed. I should know better by now not to rent low budget straight to DVD horror films as they are never great. First of all the acting was terrible, i could have done a better job myself and i mean it was really bad, i don't know where these "actors" came from. The dialogue was very poor too and you could just tell it was very low budget and not a lot of thought had really gone into it, well thats what it seemed like to me. The only one good thing about this movie was that there was a twist towards the end and i didn't see it coming so thats why i gave it 4 out of 10, i thought that it was clever but thats it. The characters were not well developed at all and you couldn't care less really if they did end up being chopped up with a chainsaw or whatever cause they were just so bad. I have to say though, it was a very good idea for a horror film but it just didn't seem to work, between the bad acting and the script it failed which is a shame because it could have been so much better. I would say watch it if you have nothing better to do if its on Sky or something but don't buy it, it would be a waste of money.

When a group of students head to a remote island for an extra-credit field trip, a crazed murderer meets them there to kill them in various horror-movie styles. It's up to the select few survivors to solve the mystery of the identity of the killer, or never leave the island again.

Winnie Cooper, I mean Danica McKellar, stars in this modern slasher alongside Jay Kenneth Johnson (Days of Our Lives) and Juliet Landau (daughter of Hollywood legend Martin Landau). The film, as expected, is just about as lame and predictable as the majority of other recent slashers. Its acting, writing, and direction are all typical of a low-budget horror, and is made special only because of its luck of grabbing a few 'name' castmembers. Sadly, those actors who may be familiar are completely wasted due to the horrendous dialogue and lack of motivation. The story is trite and extends itself further than it should, but it does have a few interesting moments. Also, the writer/director seems to have a lot of love for the horror genre with his constant in-script references to horror films and character names (Professor Argento, Mary Shelley King, Sheriff Stoker, etc.). . . but, you'd think that a real horror fan would know that Boris Karloff did not play Frankenstein. Visually, the film isn't completely awful. The cast isn't bad to look at and there are a few good kills. Unfortunately, when it all comes together into a perfect storm of below-mediocrity, nothing comes out but a very lame film that will be forgotten nearly as soon as it's watched.

Obligatory Slasher Elements:

• Violence/Gore: I liked a few of the deaths, especially the seemingly useless opening scene, and the gore wasn't too bad. I think the filmmakers should've gone for the 'more is more' tactic of gore, however, because a few extra buckets of blood can sometimes make up for the endless mediocrity and dullness.

• Sex/Nudity: There's a good amount of sexuality & nudity from the secondary castmembers. It's not excessive, and it doesn't hurt to make the film more enjoyable. Those who grew up in the late 80s/early 90s, however, will be disappointed in the lack of skin shown by the still-hot Danica McKellar. She didn't show it to Kevin on The Wonder Years and she doesn't give us much here.

• Cool Killer(s): Well, they had an interesting idea, I suppose, but overall. . . nothing special.

• Scares/Suspense: As it's played out as a comedy-slasher, there is little-to-no suspense. There are a few good jump scares, but they can all be seen coming from a mile away.

• Mystery: Barely any. You see the killer's face (whether on purpose or by accident, I'm not sure) about fifteen minutes into the film, and let's just say that the twist will never really be 'Keyser Söze'-memorable.

• Awkward Dance Scene: Nope.

Final verdict: 3.5/10. Do not see this slasher!

Note: Keep an eye out for Burt Young (Paulie from Rocky), William Forsythe, and Kane Hodder in small roles.

Horrible. Don't waist your time. I wanted to see my childhood hero Winnie but, I would rather watch an automatic kitty litter box for two hours than have to ever watch this tragedy again. The plot was an after thought of someone who just wanted to throw ever horror movie they had seen into one film. If I wanted to see chain saws, clowns, and every other stock scare I would just go to my neighbor's free haunted house every Halloween. It would kill less time, and I would probably not cringe at the amount of money that went into this disaster, I'm happy I only spent a dollar to watch it but, I will never get those 87 min back in my life. Oh Winnie, didn't you go to an ivy league school? You should no better. What would Fred Savage say if he could see you in this. I wish you the best luck in a come back but jeez!! Use some common sense.

There's a maze of mayhem, the editing leaves a lot to be desired, and this flick is NOT worth watching MORE than once. Hopefully this will help those not afraid of spoilers to decide if they want to see it even one time, as well as to erase the need of those who fell asleep halfway through to spend more than another minute to find out what happened.

........SPOILERS.....SPOILERS.....SPOILERS........

Horror flick veteran Kane Hodder is the first shown island victim, beheaded in a throwaway scene. I'm not sure the movie is edited well enough to make it clear which is which among victims two and three; let's say Emily's biology prof, Dr. Argento (Mike Wittlin), is the second dismembered-on-a-table victim, and some random poacher (Teague Cowley) is the vivisected third party. ORCA fishing boat skipper J.T. Bates (the ROCKY movie franchise's Burt Young) is the fourth to croak, via a hook through his eye socket. Football quarterback Tim (Travis Schuldt) can't get out of the pocket as he's chainsawed to death (#5), with token black student Q (Wondgy Bruny) self-consciously defying convention, as he's KO'ed in the 6th rather than the opening round (by croquet mallet, no less!). Sheriff Stoker (Tony Burton) succumbs during the 7th inning stretch (pick-axed), with gay student Ricky (Justin Chon) becoming the third student--and 8th vic overall--to pass away, gunned down while singing "I'm Going to Live Forever" from FAME. (By the way, if you don't have a life, the "Movie Connections" section here mentions only one-third of the direct references to other flicks and TV shows made by characters in HACK!; you can perform a public service by jotting down some more while watching the movie, and add them to the list. Thanks.) Lesbian student Maddy meets her maker at the bottom of the island's well for the ninth notch in the killers' belts, with bearded nutso island homeless guy "free" Willy (William Forsythe) becoming the 10th and final "victim" thanks to a fairly mundane shotgun blast. Meanwhile, film-maker killer Mary Shelley (Juliet Landau) has been bitten to death by her niece, killer clown student Emily (Danica McKellar), who shoots Willie after Willie has offed her film-buff Uncle Vincent King (Sean Kanan). Emily's two surviving classmates, topless Brazilian exchange student Sylvia (Garielle Richens) and Emily's crush, Johnny (Jay Kenneth Johnson) manage to blast her corpse into the ocean before boating back to shore with Deputy Radley (Lochlyn Munro). Hope this play-by-play helps!

This is a horror film that pays homage to horror slashers. Note: Kane Hodder is the first victim. A group of college kids working on a film project go to the island of Vincent (Sean Kanan) and Mary Shelly (Juliet Landau) who are horror film buffs. The group consists of the stereotypes: brainless bulling jock, gay Asian guy, black pot dealer, geeky girl, etc.

I liked how they played different aspects into the film and used a chainsaw killer as well as a clown. One of the problems I have with the film was that the hosts were lovers of classic horror films, while paying homage to modern slashers. The second problem was during the boat murder, everyone was accounted for. If you are going to create a mystery, do it right...but then again that could just be part of the horror genre.

Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Gabrielle Richens)

This is a lot like Blood Monkey. You can't wait for the various "teens" to get offed.

I like William Forsythe, and this is why I'm watching this film in the first place.

I have a lot of movies in my collection in which he stars, but I confess I've not seen them all.

I'm still waiting for him to appear in this one, and I'm over an hour into the movie. (He may have appeared momentarily in a window).

Anyway, I'm waiting to decide if I'll ever watch thls one again.

It depends on where it goes from here.
