Review:
What a godawful movie. :/

Really, really, REALLY boring. It jumps around a lot in the beginning, I wasn't sure where the movie was going to take us. We know which one is the serial killer, so the excitment just isn't there. I suppose I wanted more of a twist. Some movies have too much of a twist, or the twist is predictable, this movie had nothing. I feel sorry for the actors for being in such a failed movie.

I'm not a picky movie watcher, I'll try anything once. But I'm just glad that I only paid 5$ for this one.

Review:
Not THAT bad of a movie. Could have been much worse. Very cheesy, but still good. :) Entertaining at least. It very much wants to mimic Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie doesn't take itself seriously, which is why I am giving it a higher rating.

If you enjoy cheesy, bad horror movies, then this one is for you!
