Assailant

When couples therapy fails, Zoe is thinking about divorcing her husband Jason because he works too many hours. The couple decide to go on holiday to give their marriage one last chance at rekindling their relationship. At a bar Jason meets Johnny Rico from Starship Troopers, only now he calls himself Michael and has an OCD obsession with the number 3 which often has to stretch to make any sense. He's also doing his best impression of Michael from Halloween.

I won't put much effort into this review because it's clear no one involved with this project or much effort into it either.

With the sole exception of Jeff Fahley the acting is terrible. Honourable mentions for Casper Van Dein and Poppy Delevingne whom tie for worst performances. I mean the silent extras do better jobs than these two. Van Dein is still doing his Johnny Rico bit and Delevingne appears to have gone to the same acting school as Paris Hilton.

The script comes across as if it were written by a high school student having their first experience with a camera. Speaking of the camera work is mediocre with weird lighting choices given the context. Cutaway B roll scenes regularly have little to no connection with the A roll scenes either side of them.

Pacing is slow, tedious and yet somehow manages to fail entirely to portray how much in movie time has passed. Every possible opportunity this film misses it. Don't waste your life watching it, you'll never forgive yourself if you do.

Van Dien is a decent actor who really sold himself out on this. Actually a good story let down by the others appalling acting.

There were so many ways they could have taken that guy out. I know that wouldn't have made a film but at least try and make it a little more realistic.

Your colleagues let you down on this one Casper, and not a bug in sight. !!

It's fun. It's got Casper Van Dien doing some cool stuff and acting differently than he usually does.

The plot is not very good, that's for sure. Predictable and a little jumbled.

Could have been so much better.

Kudos for the 90s vibe. Reminded me of an old Adrynne Lynn film.

Everyone is such a critic. This movie won't change your life. You will not be amazed by the acting either. It's extremely entertaining anyways. First horror I seen that involved no weapons. Really original in a lot of ways. If you loved Halloween where mike myers would slowly follow his victims this movie is sort of like that. It's odd but I think this is definitely worth your time unless you're the type of person who really needs the best of the best drink a little and loosen up a bit and you'll enjoy it. It keeps you pretty amped. All in all it's a good movie if you need something exciting but are t looking for an action film.

Predictable but entertaining. You pretty much know what's going to happen, but you find yourself wondering exactly how.

Casper VanDiem was good as the villain. The couple had a strange love/hate relationship. The husband was pretty much a whimp. But he took a licking and kept on ticking, I'll give him that.

Pretty stupid as well. The first time they met Michael should have been a clue to get as far away from him as possible! You'll see what I mean.

Also, as is usual in this type of movie, if you get the upper hand on the bad guy take him out!

All in all, it was worth a watch. Nice scenery as well.
