Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Rich Wright You know, I feel a bit guilty giving this a mark below my 'level of acceptance' (which is 6) since I did enjoy it. But there are a few small niggles, mostly related to unanswered questions about the killer's motivation and background, which stop me just short. It sets them up, drops a lot of hints... only to fail to follow through on them, so your average viewer will feel slightly confused as to why they were raised in the first place. A shame.It starts off with five kids heading to a remote mountain lodge, along with a self-conscious narrator who successfully predicts they're destined for trouble. One of the number is an incredibly shrill girl who won't stop jumping around and yelling. After a few minutes of this, I wanted the slasher to turn her into shish kebab. Amazing... my prayers were answered. That's what I admire about Blood Cabin... it soon disposes of all the extraneous characters, leaving us free to concentrate on the main chase: which is between the owner of the building, and the only member of the group with any brains... a spunky brunette.The murderer here is an everyday kinda guy... He sneaks around using secret passages, cleans up the rubbish his visitors leave lying about, stops to have a scoop or two of ice cream... before stabbing, disemboweling, clobbering his unwelcome guests. It's a great role for Allen Andrews, and the fact he treats each victim with studied nonchalance while ripping them to shreds just adds to the aura of fear around him. He's a family man, who regards slaying as just a normal occupation. As you do.We also see tantalising clues as to why he's such a suppressed maniac. A 7th Birthday cake splattered with blood. An preoccupation with the sound of bees humming. An unfortunate perverted desire to dress up grown ladies as schoolgirls before doing... stuff to them. All these could have been meshed together to form a fascinating backstory... but nope, they're just hanging there will no rope to attach them together. Oh well. A near miss. 5/10

trashgang A youtube friend of mine pointed me to watch this independent movie because he's a gore geek and he knows what I like but this time he was wrong. Oh yeah, sure, they try to make it like in the good old days, the eighties and seventies but somehow the killer just didn't work for me. He never is scary, and a bit unbelievable. The weird part of the movie is also the fact that everybody is killed in the first 30 minutes so I thought, well what is next, next is the hiding of one of the survivors. And that takes place everywhere in the house but still way too long. The ending was what i good guess would happen. The blood flows but not in a gory way as in the old school horrors. The score used did refer sometimes to the grindhouse scene and of course the nudity did too. Still, it is a strange movie with so much to ask yourself, why does nobody notice that something is wrong, why didn't the love making couple didn't see the killer standing just in front of them? And why does nobody ask their self a question why that car stands in front of the cabin. Anyway, the geeks out in the states likes it, they see some comedy in it, sorry, but for us Europeans it was one of the bunch.

macntosh When you know a movie is about a slasher and teenagers, you don't expect 'The Godfather'. What you do expect is a fun 90 minutes of blood, screams, humour and thrills. This film delivers for its intended genre and audience. For slasher films of the modern age, the gore is quite tame. The same goes for the nudity. But this film hearkens back to the late 70's and 80's when the filmmakers knew their audience. I enjoyed it because it reminded me so much of a movie I would have stayed up late to see back in the day. Yes, you can call it retro.For the negatives, there is a very awkward scene to start the movie with a narrator, but once you get past that, it's clear sailing. I also feel the audio could be better, but it doesn't detract from the film much. Grab some popcorn and enjoy.

SweetCakesTruck This movie is great if you are into the camp of the 80's slasher movies. It's got a humorous twist on the conventional form but is loaded with dialog that fits the genre as well as if it'd come out of an old Friday the 13th movie. The acting is very much in line with the bulk of 80's slashers but the lead girl is solid and has a great scream. The killer, hope that doesn't spoil anything, but there's a killer, pulls off the part with a funny deadpan take. The movie is scary in places, but the character keeps it pretty funny throughout. It's obviously a budget movie, but the camera work is sharp and there are some cool panning long takes and well orchestrated shots. Overall, I give it a 10 for the genre. Good entertainment.
