Completely Horrible
digitalmaleficus7 March 2011
All I can say is this is an incredible embarrassment to cinema. Some movies out there will be horrible to some, and awesome to others (IE The Thing, Battlefield Earth, ID4, etc). However, in no way shape or form can I say this could be construded as 'okay' even in the best of circumstances...Such as being intoxicated. In the words of a stoner, this movie is a severe buzz kill. No time is anything expressed of 'unique' talent or even 'basic' made for TV movie talent, this movie is absolute junk. If you want a laugh (mind you about the only one and its due to irony not humor) fast forward to 54 minutes into the film. This part demonstrates the best acting in the whole movie....(no that doesn't mean its good acting).

So without giving the movie away, lemme wrap it up for you. Horrible talent, bunch of no names (which doesn't automatically mean they suck, but in this case it happens to be true), no production value at all, the most spent on this movie was probably the lunch breaks and the fake blood and teeth (probably about 15 bucks from spencers). And I can pretty much guarantee no one had a 'salary'...(pro bono acting?). And of course the script.....I hope they were high when writing the script.....I've had dreams that had more story ability (mind you my dreams are nearly incomprehendable). So I can find no reason to watch this movie. Even for the easily entertained this movie offers nothing. It's even relatively short (which could be considered good) so ...yeah there you go...believe me or not, but I guarantee you will truly feel worse about yourself after watching this..........you've been warned!

Seminal Post-Pop Thriller-Core blarg..

As a pretext, red-head did not fully realize her true beauty as a nude goddess...Hah! As the summary title states, this was a seminal moment in the timeline of modern, low budget New York City 20 somethings horror. The low budget, high camp flick was reminiscent of a late-to-the-scene-Halloween or in a more high-brow overarching sense, Wolf Gremm's Kamikaze 89.

The true transcendent value in this movie lies in the a-typical character arch, or more accurately, lack thereof. There's no pretending in this one. We know what happens. It's annoying. But who cares, isn't that the point. We can all connect on some superficial level with the characters even if we won't acknowledge it.

The villains, or friends, barely come close to affecting anyone, but the effects of the drugs stimulate and confuse. Not only in terms of normal drug use, but in turning sisters against sisters, friends against friends. Everyone feels safe around everyone but no one can be trusted. You may be scratched, eaten, or even drinking the wrong thing, but you will be infected.

Watch this movie without the Rotten Tomatoes BS and enjoy the chintzy dialogue, predictable plot and the pretty little things that kick around and stimulate our senses. Maybe in not the cinephile sense of things, but drop it, because now you are boring! Watch!
