GRAY is a predictable indie slasher with the lame premise of a tour group following in the footsteps of a vicious serial killer of years past. The motley characters soon find themselves targeted in a new murder spree as they themselves become victims. This is fairly well shot with slick photography throughout but the horror is virtually non-existent and it's a pity the scenario is oh-so-predictable.

"Gray" tells the story of a dark tourism group of strangers, that follow the footsteps of a series killer until they come dangerously close to him.

While I agree that there are huge plot holes and that overall this is not an example of an excellent movie, I'm still a bit surprised by the rating here. I'm generally not a fan of splatter elements, but apart from that I didn't have the feeling, that this movie is exceptionally bad compared to similar films.

What bothered me a bit is that there is no investigation taking place in the movie at all. If you break it down to the very basic elements, most of the time it's just a group of people running, hiding or being murdered. What I did like in exchange is that there were at least rudimentary thoughts about aspects like the morality of such a trip or how hard it is to cope with such a crime even if you are by all means innocent.

"Gray" is not a game-changer, not even within movies of the same budget. It is a quite simple Splatter/Horror-movie. But if that is what you are looking for, then I think it is a movie you can live with and won't heavily regret watching it.

So I lost one hour and 12 minutes of my life watching this crap.t.a.s.t.i.c.a.l.l.y crap.c.o.p.o.l.o.u.s crap.m.o.n.g.o.u.s crap.t.o.p.i.a crap.o.l.i.c.i.o.u.s crap.p.i.t.y crap.a.g.e.d.d.o.n crap.t.i.v.a.t.i.n.g crap.e.r.b.o.w.l crap.c.i.l.i.o.u.s crap.t.a.g.o.n crap.s.a.c.i.o.u.s crap.b.l.i.v.i.o.n crap.c.e.n.t.r.i.c crap.a.l.a.m.o.d.e crap of a movie. All logic is thrown away. You get to the point where you root for the killer because these people are just dumb as crap.z.i.l.l.a! Nobody screams when they are in peril. There's no drama when they find the first body, it's like they just walked up on a guy taking a nap. The former sheriff throws away all training and becomes a dufus. The former boyfriend wants to play vigilante hero by sabotaging the trip, the killer does something physically impossible to a victim by shoving a large pipe wrench through a guy's mouth and it comes out the back of his skull, it's just not logical and impossible to do by a HUMAN, the killer gets shot at least 7 times and yet he gets up a live just like Jason Voorhes, by the way, he wears a mask too, the former boyfriend is supposedly killed but he wakes up in the middle of the woods alive and yet the police are called after one survivor is left and somehow the police never walk the grounds to find anymore victims or they just conveniently forgot about him but the killer doesn't because he's a Jason clone so he kills the boyfriend and the film ends. What a crap.p.a.l.o.o.z.a.

The film opens with the killer, nicknamed "Gray" getting away with murder. Deputy Mumford (Gary Plummer ) gets the blame and undergoes years of boring useless therapy, which consists of long stretches of dry dialogue and wooden acting. Mumford decides to take a "Gray" tour to revisit the scene and location where Gray lived, something he certainly could have done on his own, since he was there. Included on the tour is Xavier Camerro the fiancé of one of a woman killed the night Deputy Mumford might have prevented it.

They go out in the woods to a shack on a clearing. And it is just a matter of the order of the killings. We see Gray in a back hoodie and a camouflaged hoodie and two different sizes...played by two different people for some unexplained reason, although I think we are to believe it was just one person. The killings were lame and in one case a large blood mark and skin removal appears on the side of a neck for a simple choking. Dull pipe wrenches just don't penetrate the skull like that. The fight scene showed idiotic pulled punches. The logic was convoluted, more so than the typical slasher film logic of "let's split up." This was done by making Xavier completely idiotic and unreasonable.

I would say must people will turn this film off before 20 minutes, it was just that sad with sound track, acting, plot, and dialogue.
