Weekend Deadaway

Made by horror fans for horror fans, best work of an Indie Horror. Loved the characters and should out to Jason and Crystal Lake. Don't go in the water...

Similar to Friday the 13th but with twists you won't see some really cool gore and a little nudity. The story revolves around Crystal Lake at 3 Feathers Lodge, a owned by some shady characters in a small town a dark history of tragic events. As a group of young business newly business employees trying to get away from the stress decide to travel to the lodge on some advice given by their bartender a few weekend before.. when they arrive it's a little weird but as in all good scary movies they just must succumb to their fate.

How in gods-name does this have a 7.8 rating? I love "B" horror movies, especially vacation/getaway ones, and this one is absolutely terrible. For starters the first 2/3s has literally zero horror elements at all. And I never expect Oscar quality acting in these films, but this one was very bad. It was incredibly hard to follow along as the story offered little value or anything even remotely interesting to keep you engaged. There were so many elements they brought into the movie that were completely unnecessary and like I said, weren't even slightly interesting. They could've cut out 70+mins of this 88min film and still done the same thing. I can honestly say this is one of the worst I've ever seen.

This film took me by surprise! The characters are so well-developed, and I found myself deeply invested before the tension kicked in. It's rare to see indie films with this level of professionalism, both in directing and storytelling. The plot had me hooked, with clever twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. It's clear the director has a bright future ahead, and Hollywood needs to stop recycling the same names and give fresh talent a chance like this. This has quickly become my new go-to for Halloween marathons, and I've already bought a copy to add to my horror collection. Can't wait to watch it again with friends-this one will stay on repeat!

What makes a good slasher movie is that you sometimes feel sorry for the victim or the villain is cool or something. This is lack of empathy cause the whole thing sounds and looks like a "we just had some money to spend and so this is the movie". This aint a B movie but a public service announcement about how not to make a movie. Only good thing about this movie is that they use quotes from some good horror movies. I know i sound like a "Karen" but seriously, this movie is like a bad joke. When you work hard and tend to play hard, do not go to a place when a random bad acting bartender offers you. The movie doesn't have plot holes. It is a complete hole.

I'm sorry but this movie failed on almost every aspect of what makes a great slasher movie. The only positive is that the story line was okay, and it was in a wooded area (almost a must). The acting was okay with a few B list moments. But let's gets to the meat and potatoes.

It lasted about an hours and half, but the story line drug on forever, and you got maybe 10 minutes of really bad kills (CGI blood = awful for a slasher film). I mean really bad. The suspense was decent, but in the end the overall feeling on the movie was just disappointment, which was a major bummer because I really wanted it to be good.

It had potential, but in the end, the special effects were not good, and the story was slow, until the end when it was rushed. Signed - 80's child who was brought up watching slasher films.
