Wow! Such a good movie.

Such a frustrating disappointment

Perfect cast and a good story

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Okay after watching the trailer, which hadn't given too much away, and was actually quite a good trailer, I decided to watch this title, and see if it was as good as before mentioned trailer, and in all honesty I should have stopped at the trailer.After the opening sequence, you just knew this wasn't going to be a classic! It says it was filmed on Lake Alice in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, why didn't we see more of the actual Lake? The director was probably worried in case the lake got voted star of the show is this abomination of a movie. I was expecting a slasher/horror movie, where whoever the killer was, would ultimately either meet their fate in the lake, or send victim after victim to a watery grave then succumb to whatever hero, but none of this happened, what we got was a fleeting glance of the lake and the surrounding view, nothing to write home about.The film was as predictable as a magician doing a card trick that people all know that what he is doing is complete bullshit I mean seriously, the acting was just awful and the daughter and her mothers fake crying was actually doing my head in that much, that I was actually hoping and praying the killer would hurry up and do the job, but nothing happened, have seen faster snails, than the killer! After a while it became apparent that there was more than one killer, but we didn't know who it was at that stage, well that's what the director would have loved to have thought, but again it was so obvious who it was, especially within the poor attempts at trying to sway us and believe it was certain people when in fact it wasn't any of those people! And as for the ending, oh dear!In summary, this film was a lot of rubbish, avoid at all costs, and if you have seen the trailer, don't believe everything you see.. 1/10

The guy who selected the score for this movie shouldn't give up his day job, don't know which musical toy box he found and used for most of the movie, but it get both ridiculous and weary fast.The movie itself is the worst I've seen for a while, it's corny, involuntarily funny and not in a good way. I ended up fastforwarding through the last 45 minutes, just to see who the baddie was and that was pretty predictable.My advice, don't waste your time.

This Christmas themed horror was certainly entertaining for the most part, it had of course your usual house invasion scenes but the feel was good as it was set in the holiday time. The acting was good mostly and the look of the film reminds me of the eighties in some scenes, the very ending was awesome and i will not give that away. If you are looking for a slasher well this goes a little deeper sometimes as far as a bit better story than the usual horror films from the past and i would for sure check this one!

Perhaps because I am a big fan of the Horror Genra I was (literally) able to predict the Killer in this film 8 minutes into it. That may be hard to believe but if you have watched as many horror films as I have, it wasn't hard. There is a slight twist which I won't disclose and spoil it for anyone so I will simply give my perspective.I think a "5" rating is justified for this film but may be a little generous. Acting, story line, plot and sound were sub par. Twist endings are always enjoyable but this one was a bit too much. If you have to take a simple formula used 100's of times in a Horror/Thriller and add one more factor to it to say "it's original", then anyone with $25,000 can produce an "original" film I suppose. This does not, an original film, make. If you use your head a little and pay attention to the characters introduced in the first 10 minutes of the film any true Horror fan with half a brain will see who the Killer is, quite obviously. Pay close attention to facial expressions and subtract the obvious. That is how I guessed it right probably less then 8 minutes in.To that end, I would not "Dead-Pan" the movie completely, but, don't spend a dime on an On-Demand order or theater viewing of this film. Wait a couple months to buy it in the $3 bin at your local Walmart or Grocery store. That I would recommend.
