I was really anticipating renting this but it really let me down. The story is good, very intriguing. But the execution of it in this story was very weak. Too many things were left unexplained which kept a good pace but didnt help the overall film.

The director showed all of the killings and he showed lots of boobs and this is all great but he gave very little on the characters. And that was his biggest mistake. Instead of finding out about these characters in the movie I have to go online and look this stuff up. So what was the point in making the movie?

There's nothing really else to say. Its just not an effective film like The Texas Chainsaw Massacare was. Maybe that has to do with the story. Or maybe it has to do with the budget of the film.

Either way, this movie is not worth your money.

1.5/5

Has anyone else seen this yet?

For such a short review that was quite informant.

I have never actually even considered renting or buying this, but it looks so familiar, the cover that is. I am pretty sure I have seen the DVD/VHS on the shelves somewhere out there.

Here's a link to the trailer: http://www.joblo.com/movietrailers_archive.php?mode=trailers&from=150&first_letter=h

When I saw this trailer I thought it would be a pretty good shock horror movie. But as you know from my short review, it wasn't what I was expecting.
