This movie has one big advantage: it's not afraid to show blood. one or two killings are actually cool. the characters are nothing special, but they're ok and i did enjoy the premise. everything it's underdeveloped, but that's campiness and the movie has a cool b grade vibe. plus, we want some of the characters to "lose" and the film has some creative points.

but then...the camera... oh jesus it looks like a milkshake: it shakes all over the place. shaky,shaky,shaky cam everywhere. cuts and cuts and cuts all over the place. the light is also not the best. we want to se some of the cool killings, but they have 13546 thousand cuts and then the imaginery is completely destroyed. the movie can't create any tension because of that. comedy? in some tiny bits yes, but i wanted to see some of the killings in more detail and the movie doesn't let you.

this is not a bad idea, even though even for an horror flick has a huge unrealistic ending but still that's fine. the problem is how it was shot, full of cuts and shaky cuts the actors are ok, we can see some known faces here, but yeah...the directing...jeez.

doesn't deserve more than a 4 because of that. and it's too bad because if this was better shot could have been way funnier. i also didn't like the sudden ending of some characters, they deserved bigger killings and not so immediate deaths. but still that would be ok with better camera shots.
