Late Checkout

I really liked this one! The dynamics between the characters was a lot of fun and there were some performances I actually really liked. A lot of people are dogging on the acting but like maybe with a few exceptions I thought this was quite solid.

Strong recommend for any fans of the slasher genre, the killers design is a little simple sure but there are some entertaining kills here and I looooove some shoestring budget gore when you can see the crew is really locking in.

After watching an uninspired AI driven Blumhouse 'horror' this was a good palette cleanser, I'll check out whatever comes next from these guys absolutely! The horror genre was built on low budget movies of people dicking around in the woods and they'll always have a place so long as the people making them continue to care about the medium.

A film that is 69 minutes long should not feel like it drags on for an eternity, but that is exactly what Late Checkout feels like. There have been literally dozens - maybe even a hundred - of movies with a similar plot: lots of young people go to a cabin in the woods and get murdered. Very few come close to the level of ineptitude of this movie. The acting is so bad across the board that it is painful, the writing is bush league, it feels like a student film from a community college film class that got a D. A few decent practical effects keep this nonsensical mess from being a total loss but that sure isn't enough to make it recommendable.

Late Checkout is a fast-paced, bloody, and insanely fun film. The cast is full of seasoned horror veterans and some wonderful new comers who absolutely shine.

The cabin in which is takes place is the perfect backdrop for this style of movie. Who doesn't love a bunch of kids being hunted down in the backwoods protected only by a log cabin?

The music written for this film gives it that (very necessary) metal-edge that great horror films contain. It feels very reminiscent of a film Rob Zombie may have had a hand in creating.

Really fun, beautifully shot, and the kills are exactly what you. Absolutely recommend this to any horror-junkie looking for a new film to watch.
