I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

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.

Winona, on vacation in her hometown, runs into her ex and his friends whom she invites to the old house she's staying at. But a killer shows up to crash the impromptu party.Not much of a real plot to this micro-budget horror film. And I'm definitely not going to hold the lack of cost against the movie (a multi-million corporate made movie can waist as much time out of my life as any bargain-basement film) However, I will hold the fact that it's utterly boring, simplistic and cringe-inducing against the movie. Add to that, that the killer is laughable and you get a film, while barely an hour and a half, feels much much longer.Eye Candy: both Hanna Oldenburg and Elin Hugoson get briefly topless but it's not worth subjecting yourself to this mess for.

Okay...I've never made a review for this site before...but here goes. AND might I add that everyone is a critic. This movie was terrible...but the middle I was actually rooting for the killer.The $5000 movie budget means nothing to me as paranormal activity 1 was made with a budget close to this and has 4 titles in its sequence. There were sooooo many things that left me wondering WHY?! Like, WHY Didn't SHE CALL FOR HELP! There were 4 cell phones (2 visible) in the house that easily had emergency features.. whats the # for 911 again?...When you have a weapon..don't drop it...if fire stopped him once FINISH HIM! Empty the whole can on him! Like they say in in this atmosphere...if you see something strange POINT IT OUT. Don't cry and have Blaire Witch come out of your nose! When you were just stabbed in the foot, you can't run..limp fast, but not run...IDC about adrenaline. If you see BLOOD all over the floor downstairs...don't CLEAN IT UP! Call SOMEONE. If you see a killer eating your friend, go back to the house get Winona and LEAVE. I just can't...there were so many things they could have done to take care of these things to make it more believable or if anything, scary. So no, do not hire this director for future films.

The fact that a movie is low-budget doesn't make it a bad movie, however it doesn't mean that the movie's flaws should be forgiven as if they don't count.This movie is dreadful. Interminably boring and with exceptionally poor dialog. I couldn't make it all the way through, none of the performances conveys any kind of fear at all. The worst actor is definitely the clown playing "Karl". I can see one of the ways they saved on budget was using people who don't know how to act.Grainy cheap cameras I can forgive, but for Pete's sake, *don't* shoot "night" scenes during the day. It's (a) obvious that it isn't night and (b) confusing because sometimes a shot comes along and you can't figure out if it was "supposed to be night".My recommendation is skip it. There is nothing to see here.

What can I say the people that made this movie are an up and coming talent to say the least. I'm an avid slasher movie fan but still I went into this one with the lowest of expectations, What can I say, when i saw that the budget for this was a measly $5,000 I thought I would be turning it off after the first 5 minutes. But this movie had me gripped after the first 10.The story is quite basic, Winona goes back to her home town to get away from her stressful life as an artist, there she meets up with an ex boyfriend and his friends who she invites to spend the night at the creepy house her manager has rented for her out in the woods. From the the blood starts to fly.For the budget visually it's a gem, how they managed to make it look so great with that little money is a skill in itself. Great cinematography for the genre complimented by some nice filming locations. For fans of the genre there is plenty of gore and some great looking effects, some really stood out as better and more realistic than in bigger budgeted fare. There is a decapitation at one point which is particularly impressive. The acting is another plus all the characters have personality and are portrayed well Although some kind of back story for the slasher would have been welcome. I only have two minor gripes with this movie, first of all the American accents were quite false with tints of Swedish shining through now and again. Also where is this supposed to be set? The second problem I had was the lack of any surprise element at the end, it was a little abrupt to just finish the movie in the way they did, I even flicked through the credits hoping to find something but alas there was nothing. Putting these minor problems aside I had a great time with this one, I was genuinely scared at a few times which is a big recommendation coming from this seasoned horror fanatic. Don't listen to the negative reviews that this is getting here I nearly did and would have missed a impressive entry into one of my favorite genres.To the makers of this movie, I take my hat off to you.
