There is almost nothing to like in this movie. The set up and plot is something you have seen before, but this is probably the worst iteration of it I have ever come across. The concept of the cameras in their head could have /maybe/ been cool it 1) the makeup effects were any good. It didn't even look remotely like a camera lens, and it definitely didn't appear to actually be in their head, meerly pasted to it, and 2) if they had actually used that gimmick to steer the direction in a new direction. But they only show about two shots in the whole film that are supposedly from those cameras. If you're going to have a gimmick at least use it! Furthermore, when the camera is removed from the winner there should be a massive scar left from the giant hole that would have been made to insert the camera and yet none exists.
The script is contrived and offers nothing in the way of story or character development. It's the typical paint-by-numbers for movies like these. The acting is bland and basic. There arent even any good kills to keep this movie enjoyable or worth watching. I can forgive a lot of terrible things in a movie if they have some good, gory and entertaining kills. This movie has none of that. It fails at every level of filmmaking. First and foremost, it fails to be even the slightest bit entertaining. Not even worth a watch to waste time.
I guess the camera stayed in focus, so a star for that I guess.
