An action-packed slog

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Apparently IMDb requires me to create a really long review. No real character development going in this flick. I could end it there but rules are rules. The movie starts out giving us some nice cinematography. For some reason the gaggle gets on a house boat. Probably someone needed to take a tax deduction on a houseboat and someone else wanted to see their boat in the movies. Not much character development going on here. We could have seen the girls starting out to be in conflict with each other and coming together to defeat the psycho and using their smarts (sans technology) but "nooooooo!" The term "narrative excess" is defined in this film. I really tried to watch this film but I couldn't. I stopped, tried again,stopped tried again, fast forwarded the film, and tried again to no avail. The cinematography was good but it could not save this film.

OK, at the outset, I was all ready to ADORE this movie- an indie film about a group of teenage girls on a "technology intervention" outing. And- for real- there are some true moments of FEAR in this film that are hard to come by. The scares rely not on special effects, but on the chemistry between the characters and their imaginative acting, which is raw and honest.HOWEVER.Pros: The opening scene cuts to about 30-40 minutes of extremely realistic teen-girl talk. If you are not a high-school teenager Guru like me, you will probably hate the hell out of this stuff. They are annoying, they are immature, they are everything teenage girls are SUPPOSED to be.You quickly realize the "sidekick" girl is the kidnapped girl from the opening sequence with severe Stockholm syndrome and you KNOW it's going to go DOWN when he tries to replace her. LIKE YOU DO WHEN YOUR KIDNAPPED GIRLFRIEND IS GETTING OLD.Half of the girls have problems or disabilities like asthma that make them sure-fire DEAD. Hi- chick who gets MAULED in a bear-trap- Jason would have murdered you double-quick, you are lucky you even made it out of that trap at all.Cons: I have NO IDEA why this trashy psycho is murdering young white girls. Other than that they are young white girls.There is like 40 minutes of exposition in the beginning that is not especially relevant, except to make you like the 17 different girls and not want them to die. But then they ALL die. Almost.The ENDING: YES. GET HIM. But also, WTF? Why. and What happens next. I dunno.As you can tell, this stabby movie made me a little bit stabby. They had some great raw material to work with in this talented little group of actresses. But in the end it just goes nowhere.http://romyandmichellefreakout.blogspot.com/

This movie wasn't the best movie, but it wasn't horrible either. I enjoyed it enough to continue watching it until the end, so what does that say? I thought that I read somewhere "First time director" and a girl out of high school writer; so with that in mind the movie surpassed what that could have spewed onto a movie film! Bottom line is this: If you're looking for a out of your seat thriller with blood and guts splattered all over the screen; not for you.If you want to watch a movie and you're having trouble finding one: Watch it! It is a pretty good movie just not the best, that's all.*****Maybe a Spoiler Ahead***********That lady (you'll know which one) has the yellowest teeth I've ever seen on a movie yet. Like she took the tar from the cigarette's and brushed her teeth with it......Just had to get that out, lol...... Good Luck!!!

This is your basic "killer chasing girls in the woods" type movie. We've all seen this style of movie before, where you're rooting for the girls to escape the psycho hunter while he picks them off one by one. But the difference about this movie is I felt confused the whole time, especially at the end. I think because it lacked a lot of dialogue, which was wasted on getting to know the teenage girls. We never really understood why the killing couple came after the girls in the first place. With their first kill in the film, it was clear that it was sadistic and that they were doing it for their own pleasure. But then it gets complicated towards the end, with the couple leaving me wondering, "What was that all about?" This movie had potential, but then got confusing when the story would focus on the killer's personality. I still made it all the way through, but honestly, by the end of the film I felt like I didn't really care one way or the other.Please like me on Facebook!
