The dvd promised to be a sensuous gay-themed horror-thriller. Since horror and LGBT is a pretty unique combination, and 99 percent of the regular horror flicks have sexy girls as main characters, and hardly ever an attractive guy, my hopes were high. Unfortunately it turned out as a disappointment.

Cinematographically it wasn't that bad, and maybe the premise (a creepy masked SM-fetishist has video-sex with guys on a college-campus, and in the process begins to stalk and physically attack his followers) had serious potential. But the way the story was written was rather lame and chaotic, with long stretches of hardly anything happening, and then in the end a ludicrous, totally over-the-top and unrealistic final showdown, while the ultimate revelation of the identity of the masked person was pretty obvious from the start.

Another negative point was the acting: while most of the girls were reasonably adequate, all the guys acted like wooden robots, droning their lines. Such a waste of their good looks and of some awesome bodies (especially Jordan Ver Hoeve!). The gay aspects were a bit disappointing anyway: yes, there was lots of sex going on (on the web-cam shots and in reality) but mostly implied and in no way more daring then in any other high school themed horror flick: some making out, some (male) skin, but nothing beyond the regular respectable boundaries.

The movie has a strong opening that creates a curiosity to see what happened, and where the story is going. The acting is fine - for this kind of movie. I don't think 'slasher' films are known for their superb acting, or scripts.

There are so many holes in the story, though, that it starts to become distracting. Particularly the last minutes of the film, where characters seem to be coming out of nowhere, without any reasonable motivation to be there in the scene at all.

So, yes, the 'exploiter/hacker' isn't too hard to figure out. But the big reveal at the end is usurped by the earlier scene when you think - "Oh, hell, who else could it possibly be!?"

People you saw being murdered, stabbed through the heart, magically reappear alive and well. Some of the situations are simply silly if for no other reason than the characters that show up in them.

There are gay characters, but I wouldn't really characterize it as a 'gay film.'

If you have nothing else to do, and want to watch a mystery whodunnit sort of movie, it's an option.

But, for the record, it's NOT about, as the blurb suggests, "A college freshman becomes obsessed with the previous owner of his school issued laptop." It's a thumb drive, and his wasn't issued to him by the school. But how it ended up in his possession is one more thing that is shown, but not quite explained. Was it stashed in a draw? Who put it there? Did it belong to the roommate? Was it left in the room by last year's occupant?

Right off the bat, the premise isn't really explained. I guess I'm a stickler for details. This missed a lot of them.

It was ok until the girl got tazed through the door. Acting was ok. Maybe story could have been written better. Otherwise I was hooked to know who was the hacker.
