I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Dreadfully Boring

Absolutely Fantastic

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Brinke Stevens is only in the film for all of seven minutes or so during the pre-credits sequence. A group of seven friends take a trip up to the camping grounds in Whitewater River, discount the legend of a local nut who escaped from a mental facility who only murders on full moons of leap years (never mind the fact that the majority of the people who die, do so in the daytime) as a mere myth. Of course their cell phones don't work this far into the woods, so they're easy pickings for this gas-mask clad killer This is a completely generic extremely low-budget slasher film. The killer has a resemblance to the one in "My Bloody Valentine" (which is a vastly superior film in every way and doesn't do this film any favors by drawing the comparisons to it) One doesn't care for any of the potential victims and thus lacks any tension whatsoever. This film is about as lifeless as the bodies after the killer is finished with them. Furthermore, it's not even worth it for Brinke Stevens' fans due to her very minuscule part.My Grade: D Where I Saw it: Netflix online via Xbox 360

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, once I found out Brinke was in it. Thus, I waited patiently....for 4 years! For a movie that took 4 years to be released, I expected much more, but I didn't receive that. It's your usual a group of twenty-something's, camping out in the woods, with a serial killer running around. Another thing that disappointed me was that "Scream Queen" Brinke Stevens was only in the first 5 minutes of this movie! Oh, what a let down. Anyway, there are some postives to this movie. The filming was professional. Although, shot on DV, the camera shots and editng were both strong, and the cast really did give it their all. My rating, 5 out of 10. It could've been much better, yet remains your typical, formulaic, slasher in the woods movie.

Blood Reaper (2003) is another crappy shot-on-digital-video movie that's stocked regularly at a local video chain store. I don't know why they stock these type of movies. They're plain terrible and for the most part unwatchable. I wish these films would just disappear from the face of the Earth. I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if they did.This "film" is about a gas masked serial killer (swiped from one of my 80's favorites My Bloody Valentine) who stalks fishermen and drunk "kids" who are stupid enough to camp is a very dry and polluted section of forest. The cast is largely unattractive and can't act a lick. The filmmakers must have spent most of the alloted budget on casting Brinke Stevens (Her best years have long since past). They sure get there money's worth from Ms. Stevens.A movie like this doesn't have to be so lame. All you need is a decent script, a couple of actors who can act and a competent director. Alas this film has neither. The cast wears tight pants, the lighting is poor at best and the editing is pitiful. Worst of all the pacing needs to be worked on big time. The movie is a little over 70 minutes (which is the bare minimum to be considered a feature length film) but it felt like a three hour epic (that's bad). Even though the film has a short running time, the film is heavily padded.If you come across this movie in the video store run away. It's not worth the time and effort to actually sit and watch this lame attempt at film-making. There's no hot women, no gory set pieces and no fun. Do yourself a favor and get an older movie instead.

I just don't understand why these things keep getting churned out? Would it kill someone to make a independent MONSTER MOVIE these days? This thing is so clichéd it's not even funny. The killer looks so lame, the only way he'd be able to get you is to kill you when you're on the ground laughing at him. Total clumsy oaf, terrible costume, and not threatening in the least. There are only two things that save this from being completely unwatchable, the music and the crazy tent lady. The music makes this film better than it should be. It's appropriately haunting and adds suspense when the situations in the film can't. Kudos to T.Reed for his work. The crazy tent lady is the only one who can act, if she is acting at all!. Very Lynch-ian, she belongs in a different film all together. All in all, don't waste your time. Just hunt down a soundtrack, it's a helluva lot scarier and creepy than the film itself!
