So much average

How sad is this?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Whilst celebrating a graduation at a secluded vacation home, a group of college students find themselves targeted by a sadistic killer who forces them to play a deadly game of killing one another in order to survive.I was pleasantly surprised to see Agnes Bruckner (who plays Jennifer) was in the cast, being a fan of "The Woods". Oddly, throughout the whole film, I never recognized her. Hmmm.This movie is a lot like "Saw" (or maybe "Saw II") in that it has people forced to kill others rather than the madman doing the work himself. Kevin Gage even has a very Tobin Bellesque voice, and I have to wonder if he was cast based on the voice alone, since he is rarely on screen.We are also reminded of "Ten Little Indians", the classic Agatha Christie novel. Many films have borrowed this concept -- I could probably name ten from the last ten years. But it is one growing subgenre of horror I do not mind. Watching with friends, you can pick your favorite character and see if they are the one to be remaining.The twists and turns are here, too, and you never know who is dead until you are absolutely sure. Sometimes it is only a flesh wound, so expect a few people not to go down so easily. There is also one "major" twist, which I did not find very shocking, but maybe it will excite you more than me (this is one you will have to discover on your own).

10/10 for this movie. I totally loved it.. every death scene was great. I was shocked at many parts. The first one, was went Alex was betrayed by her own brother and drowned in the pond outback. I really thought she'd make it to the end. She was strong, and beautiful. I never really expected Brent to get as far as he did... especially when he was shot... as for that cry baby, he should have gone sooner as far as im concerned. Jennifer's character shocked me the MOST. She always seemed so innocent and adorable. I wasn't a fan of hers, but i was truly shocked when she tried to kill her boyfriend at the end. When Amber was shot, i was really sad. Amber was my favorite. But when she kicked Jen's a**, it was awesome. I was happy Amber made it out. of all people i didn't think she would in the beginning. But if u look back on it, Amber was very sneaky and careful about what she did. She was weak, and thats how she played it out. She kept a calm, clear head until she had to kill towards the end. She killed her ex who left her, and killed the rest of her friends. That was the best death scene of the movie. When she came up from down cellar and read the note, "NO MORE PILLS AMBER. USE THIS..." and she pulled out a gun i was shocked. I thought she was gonna kill them both. But she didn't, instead she got shot which she recovered from later which was pretty shocking and a little too un-realistic. But overall great movie definitely worth watching. Carlos was another one to watch die :( I liked him, but i knew his personality would make him one of the first to go. And i was even more sure of that when his girlfriend died. My prediction was right, Carlos didn't think with a clear mind which is why he didn't make it in the end, and Amber did.

When I first read the reviews on IMDb, I expected to see a great film and I must say it lived up to my expectations. The plot is much more believable than that of SAW where there are many plot holes (how are the victims kidnapped?). In this movie, there are no plot holes like that. It's just a series of logical causes and effects and even the guy who freaks out and loses his control doesn't break the cause and effect chain.The characters act very well and their reactions are quite believable. Anyway, for horror/thriller fans this is a must-sea. You're not going to find any movies as good as this that easily.

I went into this movie with such high expectations that I can't even describe. I was so excited because my friends saw it and told me it was awesome and the entire plot of this movie sounded cool. When I went to Blockbuster and rented it, I could barely wait to watch it. Then I put it in, watched it, and was upset. I didn't get exactly what I wanted. I thought it would be way different than it actually was. So I was pretty upset with the way it turned out. Then I watched it again last night and this time I knew what was going to happen so I thought it would be even worse, but then I watched it and it turned out to be one of my favorite movies. Since I went in the first time with such high expectations, it kind of sucked because I wasn't "watching the movie". But then I watched it for what it was, and what it was, and what it is was very good. I suggest renting it, or buying it.
