Featured reviews
The plot of this lower budget independent film sounded like something which could have been good. It sounded relatively original and creative. For a campy horror type, it could have been something worthwhile. However the execution is the main problem.
The acting is terrible from most of the cast as it seems like they were reading their lines off of cards. Nothing was convincing, especially from the father of the lead daughter, the tanning store owner and of course Dawna Lee Heising (whose surgery looks a little overboard). With bad acting, takes away from the serious nature and creepy atmosphere it was intended on.
The film is supposed to be creepy and disturbing but it's not well paced, not well written and lacks suspense and thrills. It's supposed to be a disturbing campy horror based off of the content but the low budget cheap looking effects ruin it.
Of course given the subject matter there are several scenes of skin- including one highlight rather lengthy around 23:10 of an innocent blonde woman getting in the tanning booth followed by her inevitable demise from the owner. Even the kills were generic and very weak looking.
Another grip was the use of music through several scenes- even during some kill scenes. The music played at a higher volume and became increasingly annoying.
The film also ended very abruptly where it seemed like the scene was not finished at all, where we see the youngest daughter escape with the help of the older daughter and that was it. Screen went black showing the end credits.

I watched this on Tubi TV and I'm honestly not sure why I finished it. I guess the initial idea for a horror movie wasn't the worst I've seen. Unfortunately, the dialog was awful. The acting was possibly the worst I've seen in a free Tubi horror movie. There's very little redeeming here. You'd be better off watching a rerun of This Old House. And that says a lot, because I can't stand that show. But the acting is on a par. My advice, don't stick it out until the end because it doesn't really have an ending. Oh, and there are scenes where they plainly lost the sound track, because it's dead silent. No, it isn't an artistic choice, they just plainly did not have sound for those parts. Yes, it is that bad.
This "Film" had a 7.0 rating from a handful of reviewers. One of the external reviewers called this film "intelligent". The only way intelligent can be associated with this trash, is for those who stayed away from it.
Please do yourself a big favor and skip this one! It is one of the worst films I have ever seen with only one redeeming quality and that's several attractive women who remove their clothes (far too quickly). Films like this give the horror genre a bad name and makes me want to swear off ALL horror films except for those who are reviewed by individuals I trust.
The other positive point is it is consistent; every aspect of this film is done poorly! Terrible plot, horrific acting, virtually no direction, annoying music, no suspense, no terror. This was 80 minutes that felt like 240 minutes. SKIP IT!! Burn whatever copies you can get your hands on.

Great Trailer , made me want to watch the movie and when I did I did not regret the purchase. Great horror flick with an eye for fresh ideas and new talent. Director Jared Masters obviously had an eye for an intriguing storyline which captures your imagination and leaves you wanting more. Love Danika among other actors in film and the film did not disappoint. Wasn't your same old average horror film because the screenplay was a new fresh idea with fresh new faces who have talent. Won best indie horror film for 2013 at the EOTM awards in Hollywood. Congrats and well deserved . Looking forward to more films from the this new you d and talented director. Perhaps a "Slink 2" or some other genres . Looking forward to his next film "Teachers Day" which is sure to be a winner.
I have to agree with iraz. This whole movie is really, really bad. It might be worth watching if you like to make fun of cheap films with bad actors.
This whole movie looks like some not-so-popular porn stars try to make a serious movie.
To the details: Very poor story. This is just a simple "maniac kills everyone" - plot without ANY new idea that hasn't been used before. Acting: As I said before: Expect better acting in a soft porn movie
On the positive side you might get a look at some really good looking (but bad acting) girls, if you don't mind botox and silicon.
Get something else OR: Just watch the trailer. You can get a lot of the "acting" in the movie from that.
