    Better than I expected

    Because this isn't my preferred genre, I will give this a neutral "5" score. I went into it with trepidation, but it turned out to be more nuanced and thoughtful than I anticipated. Gore fans might be disappointed, I suppose, if they were expecting more "slasher" vibe. My only quibble was with sometimes repetitive dialogue. The story had substance, though, and while not all the acting was perfect, most of it was satisfactory and the lead, Manuel Garcia, can be singled out as a fine actor. For the micro-budget and sparse crew involved, I was impressed with the lighting, sound, and cinematography. So many low budget films sound like they were filmed in a bathroom or are so poorly lit that the viewer can't see what's going on. I appreciate the skill shown, and the general story, and I will bet that the next film will be even better.

    no

    My own fault, I knew what I was getting into but at the beginning in the car caught my interest and I gave it a chance. As soon as heard an actor say "just like old times" I knew it was going to disappoint. I continued as far as I could. I honestly tried to keep watching it even after I heard the other "actors" speak in the house. It was like they had no acting experience at all,not a single one of the six. The background music was terrible and the movie seemed to be filmed by a high school student trying to get an art credit. Incredible as it progressed it got worse. The movie would be suitable for a Drive In theater for laughs or ignoring if you are a new couple. Final verdict was I shut it off at 14 minutes and 12 seconds,I didn't want to know what happens next .

    This is a terrible movie!!!

    Im not really sure how this movie is rated so high on IMDb. It's really bad. The acting, the writing... really bad. If you don't believe me then rent it and see for yourself. It's bad

    Absolutely pathetic!

    HORRIBLE acting, irrelevant dialogue, only good thing I can remotely think of is the camera work wasn't awful... Decided to watch it because I was bored...honestly not possible to be that bored again!

    Oh come on

    When your grandma gives you a thousand bucks and you know a guy that owns a decent camera...That is the best synopsis I can think of. Any and all positive reviews are from cast and crew.
