    Pointless dreadful teen screamfest

    Yip it is one of those where the advertising poster looks better than the movie was!

    What can we say but utterly atrocious waste of time. Teens running , screaming and killing each other in the woods for an hour and a half of mindless twaddle!

    It triggered a headache after 30 mins with the constant screaming and shouting it was really pretty abysmal and the dialogue was just beyond bad then add to that some truly pitiful acting and you have a movie with aspirations to movies like Saw and it becomes laughable - The end scene with the girl screaming.....oh my!!!

    A sad 3 out of 10 hatchets on the horror scale and that is being overly generous!

    Good use of a known premise

    This was great fun. Got a huge amount of miles and enjoyment out of some well used themes. More than I expected could be the case. Well acted, good pacing and humour to boot cheers

    Explosive stuff

    No pun intended - the "Saw" premise is quite intriguing. If you like horror movies - you could do a lot worse. And yes the premise was there or rather existed before Saw made it ... well mainstream. But since it was so succesful most will recognize it as such. People do understand what is being talked about quite easy that way.

    While the movie may not have the best performances, it also does not have the worst either. The characters are not likeable and quite annoying ... but you can't blame the actors for that. You do not have to love them for that either of course. All that being said, the effects are quite good to say the least. Especially for a low budget movie. What would you do? I know right? Better not find yourself in a situation like that ...

    It's in the wrong genre

    If this was marked as a comedy horror, I would give it a ten, not even joking. This movie is funny as hell

    Badly written, unlikable characters. But good FX

    Nothing new here. Characters you can't wait to see die. All unlikable. Script was lazy and predictable.

    Dumbest decisions made. Yes. All the usual cliches are present and correct. Campy in places.

    Redeeming feature was the gore FX which were fun.

    Ok if nothing else on.

    • Trivia
      When Ezra yells, "You think you're better than me!?" this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the alternative rock band Better Than Ezra.
    • Goofs
      When Ezra is seen with his vest on for the first time, he is not sporting his jacket. However, throughout the rest of the film, his jacket is under his vest.
