Nonureva Really Surprised!

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

specialuse117 Fresh, inventive, fast paced - this film was like going on a fun roller coaster. Never a dull moment and you do not know exactly what will happen next. Just when you think it is going to follow a formula the bottom drops out. Never having seen any of these actors before added to the experience. At first it may seem there are too many characters but it all blends together at the end. If feels like the directors took the theme of the old movie "After Hours" and paired it with the comedy of "Shaun of the Dead." Then gave it a Cohen brothers twist. I really enjoyed this film and the previous effort (Big Bad Wolves). There are gory scenes (and I dislike gore) but it did not seem excessive or gratuitous.

punishmentpark An extraordinary Israeli (!) horror movie. It's about what can happen when you enter a territory that is seemingly sort of a no man's land... with consequences quite darkly. I experienced it as sort of a mix between 'Crash' (2004, drama) and 'Rovdyr' (2008, horror) with a good fix of dark comedy. Whether or not everything should be strictly believable, is not the biggest issue in such a film to my opinion. The feel of it is sincere, and a lot of the dialogues and actions are convincing. Very well done, and very well acted, truly a pleasant surprise. And finally, let's give it up for the tennis girls... hubba hubba!8 out of 10.

DTonyo First of all, I give this movie a rating of 2 stars, because 1 star ratings are reserved for movies like "Manos", where no one knew how to do his/her job. In this movie, you get the feeling that at least the actors and the composer might be able to do well. Unfortunately, all their efforts are in vain because of the terrible direction by Kasheles and Papushado. They had the idea of a slasher movie where the slasher is only a peripheral figure and the real danger lies elsewhere. This might sound original, but at least in this realization it is a complete disaster. The events are not driven by plot or characters, but by incomprehensible actions. For most of the time, we see people stumble through the woods. Occasionally one of the characters gets killed accidentally or deliberately. Almost none of these deaths are related and their co-occurrence is just a big coincidence. The movie ends quite abruptly, leaving the fate of most of the surviving characters in the dark. This is not as dramatic as it sounds, since we never really start to feel for them anyway. Another issue with this movie is the blatant incompatibility between comic and and dramatic scenes. There are several horror movies which manage quite well to incorporate both funny and tragic scenes, but this one should be shown at film schools as an example of how not to do it. The respective moments are very clumsily put together and level each other out. Add to this the wooden and dull dialogues and the unfitting soundtrack (which is actually not bad on its own), and you receive a complete mess as final result. I have read several times that this is the first Israeli horror movie. If it really is: Keep trying! It can only get better from here!

Tom Meiri This is a very cool film, that has a very unique storytelling. I really enjoyed all the twists and turns. It is not your typical slasher film, but i thought the script is really smart. It has a very funny dark side to it that i liked a lot (it reminded me the Choen brothers a bit, or maybe some Korean films...). You can also see the homage for 70' films in a lot of ways. Also the movie simply looks great - shot mostly on day light and in Israely woods - also a nice twist on the genre (the daylight). I also very much enjoyed the girls in the short tennis skirts running all over - nice touch.... well done on doing the first slasher in Israel, and a damn good one.
