Surprisingly enough the plot was actually kinda complex. Sure, had its holes but once the action starts you do start do wonder a thing or two.

So let's begin: the acting was B+ for a horror, I was relatively impressed; the characters were maybe a tad bit cheesy, only wrong element being the "creeper". That one completely failed in my book; Camera work was good, better than your usual flick in the woods horror; plot came with a twist which shows that the producers actually put their brains at work; last but not least, death scenes, weak.

Tho 3 lovely girls are involved, all of them with huge cleavages, nudity won't make an appearance here. Little blood, a few good friendly jokes and the usual "let's split and everybody run in one direction waiting for the script to decide who dies next".

The reason I said C and not B will be explained once you view this. Which brings me to the next question: do I recommend it? Well, it could work if you are a fanatic in horror and you wanna add one more to the collection. In rest, although an effort was put into it, you can clearly see that it's missing the punch! Characters were indeed explored a little but in the end it had to be a horror and acted too little like one. Watch it and you'll most likely feel the same.

Cheers!

Not really, but cabin in the woods is overused. Oh wait: everything shown here is overused. The soon to be husband, who might not be real marriage material, the girlfriend who has a best friend, who really is into their friendship. And so on and so on, with more stock characters. Also while it's not a bad thing, the present setting (with a bit of "mystery") with a person narrating what happened, might work for other movies, but is just another thing that doesn't work here either. Especially considering what happens at the very end ... which just happens ... for no reason at all.

Anyway, there are not that many effects, though they are nicely done. Acting-wise you shouldn't expect too much. As already made clear the script is really not good either. Could've been a lot better, but as it is, a waste of time

I love thrillers and horror stuff but this movie was sooooo awful on all levels it made me laugh out loud. The other review was bang on accurate about their horrible acting!! It was soooooo bad you'll have to laugh. All their eyes rolling and popping and that's all they did for the horror scenes. And when a house has no power at night, you can't see anything, but apparently the director picked a magical house. Also running in the woods at night when there's light all around. Sorry, still yawning here. Definitely the worst horror movie in history. Plot twist? Really!? LOL.

If Hallmark tried making a thriller/horror,saying this as it was written & acted with actors from that network.

Granted have seen worse,but so typical of a story that it lacked originality.

The cinematography wasn't horrible,with overly bad lighting.

I have liked many actors in this from other shows,but honestly their acting didn't work for such an (attempted) genre.

Some writers or actors and vise versa,need to stick to doing things they are best at.

They could of used a better place or something,sadly a scary movie does not mean a dumpy wooded location.

Is this worth seeing? Sure passes time,that's about it or if you like any actors listed.

Must say if Hallmark is allowing more actors to write & produce or why many are branching out elsewhere,no wonder movies plus television are suffering with quality.

Traveling out to the woods, a group of friends enjoying a pre- wedding party find their weekend of fun interrupted by not only a series of deep-rooted secrets but a maniacal killer picking them off one-by- one and must find a way of getting away alive.

This one here wasn't all that impressive of a slasher effort. The film's biggest misstep is the fact that this one goes off for the first half in turning into a rather pedestrian and wholly unworthwhile series of soap-opera style scenes here showing them getting together at the cabin. Not only does this have the series of incredibly bland setups with the group taking forever to get settled in which features them putting their stuff away but also going through the series of scenes showing the couples having their troubles which are so uninteresting and fill up so much screen-time that it really becomes unbearably boring and excruciating getting through here. Going through the adultery angle with the sister, the best friends' unrequited lesbian angle with each of the sisters and the brothers' money issues all are just so utterly unappealing and don't strike as the slightest bit interesting not only in just general terms of being a truly fun watch but it also manages to be quite a boring way to set-up the remaining part of the film where it turns into a nominal slasher since this doesn't come up as being in the slightest bit fun, engaging or enjoyable accomplishing this different type of set-up here leading into those slasher tropes. It's all quite a long time here going through this part of the film that in the end it's almost an hour before the first kill pops up because its spending all this time focusing on the boring and wholly unappealing soap opera work found here, and it's still not nearly enough to make the film overcome it's truly banal slasher-work found here. Not only is the main set-ups truly appalling with the short, barely-there stalking scenes that are over so quickly it's hard to pick out the actions within here but also just really making the film not that creepy or chilling despite the attempts at slashing. The endless running around the woods don't help matters, and it's really overall a pretty bland series of scenes that just makes for a troubling slasher effort overall. Coupled with the lack of rather startling gore, a wholly underwhelming mystery angle that's supposedly at the heart of the film and a criminal lack of sleaze and cheese that are tempted but never delivered upon, these here really hold this one back quite readily from what could've been. The only areas this one works at all is the actual slashing in the woods, for as bad as they are at manipulating the slasher elements here really ups the action and energy away from the banal soap-opera work before it and does deliver on some high-quantity kills in a cramped space which is quite welcomed. Still, it's got a lot of problems to readily overcome.

Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Brief Nudity and drug use.

I thoroughly enjoyed this easy to watch campy horror comedy. Synopsis: A group of Hallmark movie type characters go to a cabin and meet a slasher. Review: The over acting, exaggerated eye movements, obvious plot holes, and poor editing were laugh out loud funny! The continuity errors were so noticeable, I wonder if they were deliberate - like in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. With the right expectations, this movie is a fun time!
