Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

George Taylor This is what you get when anyone can get their hands on a camcorder and think they can make a movie. Let's look at the positives - well, there are none. It's another stupid attempt at a homage to 80's slashers which, as I recall, mostly sucked. But they were of a professional level of suck, so were tolerable. Be honest here, every Friday the 13th after the first one, every Halloween, they were all crap. So is this pile of steaming turd. Bad acting, no story at all, bad SFX, and crappy makeup. This is a 'film' that should be consigned to the dust bin of history. I'm really glad I didn't pay to see this. As for those 8's and 10's, I really think the people behind the camera just post their own reviews.

James Wright I like to think that I am quite an easy to please reviewer, but some of the other reviews for this film make me question my own sanity! Certainly it's not the worst film ever made and there is definitely a story and direction in play, but other than that there isn't really much to praise here.Now sure, there is a definite 80s style in the synthesizer background music and the masked killer plot, but these things are also generally used because they are cheap and simplistic, and therefore well suited to an ultra low budget horror film such as this, it's nothing to write home about. Furthermore the homage goes no further than simply supplying the exact same type of offering, and if you aren't sending up or moving on concepts from the past, then is there really much point in making a movie that 'should have come out in the 80s' beyond pure nostalgia?Apart from that this is your standard ultra low budget horror movie where it was probably more fun to make than to watch; the story is all spelled out in untidy exposition, the gore is bad, the acting is questionable, the pacing is all off and most of this is covered up by a good amount of skin from the actresses involved. There is nothing wrong with this for amateur horror, but don't expect it to be a revelation in film making or anything.

Karl Rogers Independent slasher film that follows the traditions set by the popular franchises in the sub genres heyday. The title is very misleading, there's a lot less blood than I expected, and when talking massacres - this is definitely no Premutos. Instead it's quite a moderate tale following the usual deranged killer in a mask with a penchant for sticking sharp things into the bodies of bare chested teenage girls and their dopey boyfriends, with a fairly insignificant side story about a gung-ho detective with a variety of personal issues. The acting is not too bad, especially in comparison to the majority of films of this ilk. A handful of moderately talented actors and the rest are OK enough to be tolerable. One element that particularly stood out was the score. Somewhat somber and foreboding music is well placed throughout and honestly did create a little more atmosphere. If there's one thing I've learned when blindly purchasing Wild Eye Releasing's products - it's that the cover artwork is always far superior to the content... that appears to be their gimmick and well, it works. This was the third film I purchased hoping it might be a yet undiscovered independent gem and while it's probably the best of the lot, it's just another modern slasher that let me down with being just passable.

Woodyanders A vicious masked maniac known as the Ripper butchers teenagers in the tranquil small town of Havenwood ten years after the hamlet was plagued by a spate of unsolved killings.Director Manny Serrano, who also co-wrote the intricate and absorbing script with Louie Cortes, grounds the compelling premise in a believable everyday reality, maintains a dark serious tone throughout, offers a strong depiction of a sleepy suburbanite community atmosphere, pulls out the nasty stops for several brutal murder set pieces, and even delivers a satisfying smattering of tasty bare distaff skin. Moreover, the filmmakers warrant extra praise for the refreshing and laudable use of funky old school practical gore make-up f/x. Matt W. Cody as harried alcoholic detective James Fincher makes for a sympathetic flawed protagonist. Byron M. Howard likewise impresses as Fincher's hard-nosed partner Walter Cobb. Moreover, the adolescent characters in particular are quite well drawn, with especially sound work from Carmela Hayslett-Grillo as the carefree Carla and Danielle Lenore as sensitive goody goody two shoes Danielle. The competent cinematography makes neat use of the widescreen format. The shivery synthesizer score does the skin-crawling trick. Although slightly marred by occasional slack pacing and a bloated 113 minute running time, it's overall still worth a watch for slice'n'dice fans.
