Movie Reviews

My opinions are divided

An interesting film to say the least. The first act does well at establishing our characters however the main character we are meant to root for is kind of a careless, aggressive and obnoxious teenager. This makes it less enjoyable to watch as I found myself less invested. Act 2 saves this movie from getting around 4 stars, I really like the twist of who is behind the masks as I think it adds an interesting dynamic to the movie and shows how mental some people can become. If this twist was implemented into a higher budget and better written script I think the concept could've really been perfect.Was the motive weak? Sure, but I'm guessing they were trying to show that substance abuse can make bad situations in life worse? However I don't believe substance abuse= automatically turn into a deranged psychopath that doesn't think about their consequences. I also like how act 2 kind of showed us the other side of the story and a bit of the villains backstory.Act 3 was, well it wasn't great. It felt very rushed and a bit cheesy. It left quite a few plot holes and things in the air. I understand it's meant to be a silly slasher but wow do some of these characters make some awful decisions.Overall I definitely think the movie is worth checking out, i guess it's quite unique for modern slashers but just don't get your expectations too high as in places the movie is downright awful.

Could have been much better without the "men bad" bias

It's essentially a variation on 3 different tropes: -the isolated location surrounded by maniacs -the final girl -the revenge movie.

Were it not for its pathetically heavyhanded "men are either bad or weak" bias, the movie would flow much more naturally since the way it frames the narratives on 2 parallel tracks that converge is interesting.

Cinematography works well, particularly at night. There are slices of 80s synths that are also good. It doesn't deal satisfactorily with a few side characters (the female friend, the 2 other guys around the bonfire etc) and it could have been subtler instead of having awful lines such as "trauma is the real gateway drug"..

All in all, a watchable but flawed horror movie but its creators could improve if they learn from the mistakes made on this one.

Up until the last 15-20 minutes well worth a watch

I would have given this a 7/8 had it not been for the essentially braindead and completely unnecessary last 20 minutes. It's not the worst thing ever so would recommend giving this a view but the end was completely illogical. The acting was good, the story was good but the ending really spoils it. Everything that was built before was 'realistic' as far as a horror movie can be including decisions by characters etc but then they just decided to just mess it up by making the well woven main characters do things that completely takes you out of the movie and say 'wait, why, wtf'. The director could have done really well with this but decided to trope out.
