Cody
(Philippe Kane) is not having a great day
as he lost his wife plus was fired by his
supervisor Allison (Erika Doering) as
she's having a rough day herself being
stood up by her friend from a staff party
whom was murdered by a rapist named
Samuel Parks (Timothy Muskatell) and next
her car broke down as Samuel wants her
for his next sacrifice in a wooded area
to make him imortal by the devil but she
escapes and Cody happens to be there when
she jumps out of this killers car.
They are forced to help one another as
the two of them are stranded in the woods
from this killer plus are encountered
other gothic people performing rituals
and are in for a terror.
The film looked
like it would be fun by the title of it
and so did the plotline but the story was
pure trash and when I mean trash I mean a
film with a boring plotline that took
forever to get to the point and the only
interesting moments was close to the end
when the dead arises but again there was
no budget for any special effects or
anything like that but there is the odd
computer effects if you dare want to find
out by watching this no budgeter.
We have kooky characters in the film that
were not amusing at all and some
hillbilly's which were fresh from an
amateur comedy workshop with the
character names Cooter and Cletus. Sound
familiar? It would if you used to watch Dukes
of Hazzard.
Alltogether this was a whole
disappointment and you're better off
watching real indie horror flicks like
Evil Dead. Most of the plot was
about two people trying to run away from
a killer.
The actors seem
like they were friends of the filmmakers
since they didn't seem to have any
experience at all. Lead actor
Philippe Kane seemed to be the best
out of all the cast members showing a
good bad ass attitude with his
aggressions and sarcastic remarks too. I
will give him credit for doing the best
he could with this film.
Erika Doering who played a self
centered businesswoman did the best she
could and sometimes was passable with her
screaming and anxious reactions but at
the same time she overdoes it just a
little bit. She tries to make up for it
in other spots but I didn't find her much
of a character actress.
Timothy Muskatell brought out his
anger and aggressions as a serial killer
and rapist but he gets carried away in
many situations with the flick.
This is about it folks as we don't seem
to have much inspiration with the acting
for this film sad to say.
Amanda Christine Parker
is tied in bed gagged as well with
her breasts fully exposed
A woman lifts up her top showing both of
her breasts
Some fake looking
bloody slit throats
A fake decapitated head
A fake cut off hand
David DeFino was
quite amateurish with his direction on
this no budgeter for example, he did show
a good psychotic moment in the very
beginning with Timothy Muskatell
getting aggressive with bit part actress Amanda
Christina Parker tied onto a bed but
he hits her as it looked extremely phony.
There's good shots between Phillipe
Kane getting obnoxious with Erica
Doering in an office area which
looked dysfunctional.
We spot good camera takes on both Kane
and Larnell Stoval smoking up
and shooting the shit with one another as
it looked pretty natural.
We have a close up shot on Muskatell
doing a ritual in the woods but it looked
very amateurish and humiliating.
There's a good aggression with Muskatell
in his vehicle towards Doering
with her acting creeped out but at the
same time it was a little too much. Plus
with the camera takes you can tell the
car is parked when really in the story
the vehicle was supposed to be driving.
There's a scene where Muskatell
is chasing after both Kane and Doering
in the woods which was lacking on energy
big time.
We spot many bland argumentations between
both Kane and Doering
lost in the woods and trying to find
help.
There's a battling moment between Kane
and Mukatell which looked very
sloppy but there is a nice shot on Kane
whacking him brutally with a stick.
However both Kane and Doering
don't look believeable reacting when they
find this person supposedly killed is
still alive and trying to get away. It's
a tough one deciding whether it's bad
acting or direction. I'd say both.
There's such trashy directions between
supporting actors Trent Haaga
and Richard Steiner as backwoods
hillbilly's as DeFino really
didn't take his work seriously at all
coaching these two actors.
We spot crappy directions on the
supporting actresses such as Rainbow
Underhill, Tiffany Shepis
and Elizabeth DeWet performing a
ceremony in the woods showing no spunk at
all on what they were doing even if the
cast tried to make it look good.
We do spot a nice tense shot on DeWet
going in labor and screaming hysterically
with a nice effects shot on a baby
tearing out of her in an Alien
type of ripoff fashion.
DeFino tried to make the camera
shots look dark on the baby attacking but
still you could tell it was a doll and
very phony looking.
We have some interesting 3D type of shots
with the camera zooming in on people and
attacking in the woods.
The best direction was towards the end of
the film with good shots on cast members
like Haaga and Underhill as resurrected
zombie's in the woods limping towards all
Kane, Doering and Stoval
trying to get away with Doering
shrieling and panicking but sometimes she
got carried away. There's good takes on
the three of them preparing a ceremony in
the woods on how to stop the evil form
happening. But this is about it folks
since this director doesn't deserve any
award whatsoever.
The music wasn't anything
special and barely ever used for the
story lines but we hear some toned out
electric guitar riffs here and there by Steve
Hitselberger.
