    Continues the cycle

    As I've said in other reviews, when the director and writer and actor is all the same person, it makes for a terrible movie. And this was no exception. Scott Hamm is horrible on screen. Over acting and 1 dimensional. The plot kind of made sense, but then it didn't. My mind kept wondering off as the movie continued. The caretaker was just an annoying add on that wasn't utilized properly. 2 stars because I thought the black chick was the only sensible one, but then he dumbed her down too. Stick to your soaps man.

    A waste of time

    Another "producer/actor" producing movie for himself. Even if the story could've work, you can note the poor interpretation, sound problems (the horse must have hit the microphone while eating), So many mistakes during the struggle scene, so fake!

    I'm giving 3 stars only because with a good director and good actors, the story could've been interesting.

    Have the Director purchased the reviews?

    The movie is a joke. Worst cinematic lighting ever seen.

    Hard core B-movie.

    Really bad actors

    The movie could have been good.

    The story is interesting, but the direction, storytelling, and especially the actors ruined it completely.

    Enjoyable and Interesting

    The story is meant to be horrific, it reminded me a lot of the kinds of stories we might get with 70's and 80's slashers. You can easily follow where its going and it does pick up at a pace you would expect for a traditional slasher. The ending felt a little weak though and it really could have used some better music to capture the horror element. Either way I thought it was a surprisingly good horror.

    • Goofs
      In the second minute, Hayden says in a phone conversation to his friend from his friend's house, "I'm gonna drink some of your beer and some of your food..." which makes no grammatical sense.
