Oh boy where do I start. I usually am very lenient with these type of movies. They usually are very cliche with bad acting and very predictable. I did not actually guess the ending but it was so ridiculous that it just was bad. The good part was the setting and to some extent the photography. It was kind of creepy and the acting could have been worse. However it could have been much much better with a decent script. All of the characters acted like fools running around and they made really bad decisions. Towards the end I thought to myself it wasn't a horrible movie but then the ending song happened and that was the clencher for me. It was the cheesiest song and ending. This is one of those movies I wanted to like but at the end of the day it was just bad. Even the title was stupid.

There definitely could ave been more to the story. That said, there should have been less to it. There really wasn't a story-line, just a group of friends go to a haunted house type event. They already had a jason,mike myers, freddie type of character and then they had to add a story and change things up. Would have been a decent 6.3 if they kept it simple but instead gets a 5.1. It's amusing and fast paced but could have been funny and pleasantly paced.

Some friends go to a haunted walkthrough and get attacked by what a revamped Myers kind of character...that might be black. But it's a cheap cheesy flick.

Not worth the watch. Only going to laugh at Desi a few times that's all. I thought as a black horror movie the decisions would be better and this movie is the complete opposite.

From beginning to end I cringed at the acting. Just terrible all around.i wish I could give this no stars. The one good thing about this movie is the plot twist. I can't believe I even finished it. Oh, please don't get me started on the ending. I love to support my people but this was not it. Did they even have scripts or were the just improvising the lines. I'm so disappointed in the actors in this movie for even agreeing to put out this horrendous movie.

Now don't get me wrong I like the idea of this movie but they did not do the concept justice. Hoping that all of them gets some acting classes in the near future.

Never seen a more stupid movie in my entire life. The movie is just as bad as the song at the end. Doesn't make any sense. Why don't you go hide behind the chainsaws ??? Avoid at all cost.

The opening actually gave me high hopes for this movie, then as soon as the credits were finished it immediately went to crap. Using the "scares" of the haunted house/trail within the movie for most of the horror elements doesn't make a good horror movie. It's actually frustrating as a viewer to just be watching the characters react to scares that we don't get to enjoy as even mild startles ourselves. The constant babbling and shrieking of the characters doesn't amount to decipherable or meaningful dialogue that moves a story forward in any way. Outside of the chaotic filming of disjointed house-of-horrors scenes, attempts at a storyline are pathetic. Some of these actors should never appear in front of a camera again, the skill level is that poor. And I don't even think there were writers. It's just so painful, in the worst possible way.

So I want to know how this horrible movie got 6 stars . I see alot support black movies but really 10 stars on a movie with no story line , and bad acting. The movie could have been alot better if the director knew what he was doing . The killing was fake the screams was over the top . The death scenes needed to be gory and terrifying instead I got fake blood and little left to the imagination. To be honest , I ended up moreeeeeee time on my telephone than watching this movie . I support black movies but im not giving 10 stars just to give 10 stars . Don't waste your time you will be disappointed.

How this movie got a 5.0 rating I will never understand. The "acting" is laughably bad and the script isn't any better. The actor playing Zay is just plain annoying. He just will not stop yapping even though he has absolutely nothing to say. He's like a chihuahua on speed or something. And I think his IQ drops a bit more every time he opens his mouth, cause nothing of any substance ever comes out. After watching for about 40 minutes I wanted to kill him myself just to shut him up! I ended up stopping the movie instead as I just couldn't finish it. If you're considering watching this movie - don't. It's an hour and a half or so of your life wasted. Do something fun with your time instead - like watch paint dry... Believe me - you'll enjoy it more.

I see alot of references to it being a "black" movie, well im a white dude and I thought it was pretty good. Laughed pretty hard when they were running frantically and the one dude yelling "see i told you, this is white people s@#t." Funny cuz it's true, it's what we do. But the movie blended comedy and horror seamlessly and tapered the comedy down a little at a time til it was full on horror with some shock kills. The overall revealing plot was a little weak but forgivable given the nature of the show. They want you to take it seriously but not too serious. It was a solid flick imo. I guess the only negative I'd give it which is why I said 6 instead of 7 stars was the ending, it was kinda flat but final bit of acting kinda made up for it but not all the way. Regarding the acting overall, it was rather well done and believable which surprised me some. I think this is a movie that you either totally hate or kinda like til you almost love it but not quite. Aside from the movie though, even without real life murders, this haunted trail would be an awesome one in real life.

I hate that I am forced to used so many characters to tell you this was a waste of time. But here goes. As a fan of horror movies, this was not one of them.... Haunted trail is about friends visiting a haunted house/trail of sorts and one of them has an agenda. There wasn't any gore, small amount of blood splatter and the screams were just corny. You see your friend die and there are no tears. You see one of them hanging and you don't stick together? You don't alert one of the many still working employees that something is going on??? You don't fight back? Your football players for goodness sakes. It was a complete waste of time. No name actors, if that's what you want to call them and Desi Banks and all that dumb screaming and cursing.... He sounded like a complete fool.

I rarely write reviews.. Though Sometimes I see something so bad that I need to take a minute and leave one. That being said, the writers who wrote the screenplay should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. I Can't believe they tricked someone in to investing in this. The acting was horrible. It will make you cringe. No need to single out any of them as they were all equally terrible. All of the blame shouldn't be on them as it would be impossible for anyone to make that dialogue work. This is what happens when you combine garbage with garbage. Im repeating myself, but It's astonishing that anyone would invest after reading the script. Everyone involved should be ashamed.

Don't waste your time.

This doesn't even work as a parody or satire. It's just bad all the way around, and yet... And yet, it got funded. AI could write a better script. The acting was subpar. There were some odd acting choices with all the actors, but especially with Desi Banks. The pacing was too loose and scenes that did nothing for the story lingered. Some of the camera shots were questionable, but overall, the biggest problem this movie had was a bad story. There was hardly any story there. The whole thing hinged on a lame jealousy premise, so lame that you don't learn about it until you get a lot of bad exposition at the end!

It's too bad. I wanted to like Robin Givens as a director. There are too few black female directors out there, but based on this film, it looks like she's not ready for the other side of the camera. Try again with better material.

A group of mostly black friends go visit a local horror exhibit. It's a walk in the woods through some scary attractions. Little do they know that there is a real killer amongst them.

It's a bunch black characters acting black with their one white friend. I thought they may flip the convention and kill the white girl first. There is nothing that interesting in this movie. When they find their dead friend, there has to be better options. They shouldn't be clueless black people screaming "White People Sit". It's demeaning to black people for the one white girl to be the only one saying that they can't leave their friend behind. It's a bad horror although it's a fine premise. The ending is another matter.

Caught this on Tubi, while playing "Tubi roulette" (where I browse to the horror section, close my eyes, scroll, and randomly pick) and assumed the worst, because, well... that's the case more often than not. So to be fair, my expectations were low, but I was happily surprised. It was actually pretty decent.

I mean, it's not reinventing the wheel. Nothing real new or wild. It's a teen-something slasher where the kids are picked off one by one, until the killer and their motives are revealed at the end. Pretty standard stuff. But down competently. And right off the bat I was on board just because of the setting.

This movie is set at a seasonal haunt known as the titular "Haunted Trail", which seems to be a combination of multiple standard haunted house/maze sections, combined with outdoor haunted trail sections in between each maze. A group of friends arrive, in a few different groups, with plans to meet there, which automatically gives the movie license to have different groups to be attacked without the other immediately realizing the danger. There are also some rivalries, and romantic triangles going on within the group, which adds flavor to the characters, but is thankfully light enough to not bog things down for long. They are also mostly African American characters in this group of friends, so it's a nice change of pace from the standard makeup of most of these generic teens in your average slasher movie, and the dialogue feels like a lot of it was improvised to come off more natural, and genuine than the stiff generic dialogue a lot of slashers seem to employ. I appreciated that. Because of this, the acting is pretty decent and believable.

The set and props were also surprisingly good. Everything looked pretty genuine to the setting, and the lighting and cinematography was also surprisingly well done. To be honest, the only real letdown for me was that the kills were very tame, and mostly occurred off screen. And the ones that didn't were pretty mediocre. Not a ton was spent on that, obviously. That and the killers motivation seemed to make no sense. I won't spoil anything, but you have to question why, if someone sensed to focus their ire on a single individual, why they would go through this elaborate of a scheme, and kill so many other people pointlessly. Also, if their plan had succeeded, their goal would have still failed because the people that they killed were needed to make the killer successful in the future, so they just doomed their own goals by killing them

Anyway, decent movie, with a "huh?" ending, plot holes, and weak kills, but despite all that, still well worth watching.

This was a great movie it wasn't scary but the acting was on point I never expected to be scary considering desi and Reggie was in it and seeing a black Michael Myers made me laugh yes it is indeed a great movie to watch with friends or family and if you're looking for a good laugh definitely give this a watch. And I gave it a 10 out of 10 because why not no need to hate and I support all the actors and actresses.

There is always a Zay in the group that basically roasts you the entire time.

I think since it can't be classified it has no direction. It's like pick a struggle and stick with it. There is no follow through so the ending is rushed strange. With regards to cohesive story telling... It's like a bunch of shorts put together.

The relationships are realistic.

AGAIN. It is not a horror movie.

I can't put it in a genre. Not 100 percent comedy or horror or drama. You are entertained in bits and pieces. I can't even explain what it is. It is easier to explain what it isn't. The whole going through the trail experience with them falls short because you are grasping to watch an actual movie.
