Above average teen slasher

I started watching this and stupidly brought up the IMDB page while it was on. That means reviews stating it was the worst movie ever popped up. I sighed and thought, "Meh, it's already playing, I can always turn it off..." but I never did. I mean, dumb teen slashers generally aren't all that sophisticated, but this was far, far, far from the worst movie ever. The 1 star reviews almost seem like sort of weird prank. If this is the worst movie you ever saw, you clearly haven't seen very many movies. Go through my review contribution history if you want to see plenty of bad movies. This was competent for a slasher, just not exceptionally so. It has some decent actresses, and a few semi-decent actors. It has a guess the killer thing going on, like most of these do, with several suspicious characters. It throws in some twists, and they generally work. The only thing bad I can say is whoever decided to do the credits for the actors at the end chose to list them alphabetically instead of by importance to the plot, which means the two actors named Aldridge appear first... and I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the producers are named Aldridge too. Sure. That was a real dick move. But don't judge the entire movie by one stupid choice that doesn't even have anything to do with the film. Give this one a chance.

Some Bloody Good Fun for all

Let me admit from the first that I am a fan of the lovely Miss Liz Di Prinzio and that I see a great future for her and that she is definitely one of the best things about this movie and I can see more better and better films coming Liz's way as she masters her craft. She is both talented and a very hard worker and very honest and passionate about her work and that shows through in this film.

The movie has lots of good points and like any budget teen flick also has all the negative points like stereotyping and mixed degrees of skills from both in front and behind the camera.

In the end the good points outweigh the bad and this flick has enough fun and gore and teen sexiness to entertain.

The opening scenes are edited really well although the alley scene, while critical to the story could have been handled better. The second half of the film flows better than the first part and the director needs to show more pace when establishing his actors or give them some tighter dialogue. The highlight was the dumb and dumber actors and of course the two female leads, Liz Di Prinzio and Sarah Harrison with good support from the vampy teen *itch played by Liz Bell. All three bring something to their roles and the beefcake school jock is exactly what you would expect, but he is outshone in all his scenes opposite Liz and Liz!!! The murder scenes were pretty well executed with some nice touches, which I won't reveal here, and the denouement is well done too and better than a lot of similar films in this genre.

Overall this film gets a 6 from me, but for movie lovers who like to see actors who are going places then see this one and enjoy Liz Di Prinzio and her two fellow female leads because I can see good things in the coming years. I love watching actors develop and change and grow and despite this film's budget restrictions it's still well worth checking out and has some excellent moments and nice touches.
