A couple of
frat pledges are sent to an abandoned warehouse
after passing out where there's deadly rumors
about the place on Halloween night in which they
are tortured and killed. The frat team check up
on things but they become the next victims to a
family of psychopaths wearing masks as well as
deadly weapons including a chainsaw killing them
off as well as being brutally tormented on these
not so innocent college kids.
The beginning looks fairly
interesting in which we spot someone being
tortured to death giving it a psychological feel
and then later on it goes into some fraternity
students lead by J.J. to get ready for a
Halloween party as well as discussing rumors
about a place run by a bunch of maniacs which
looks incredibly cheesy to watch.
While the story is still confusing to watch
there's then some scene's of people being cut in
half by a bunch of these maniacs as well as
someone having a bad hallucination sequence while
telling some of the frat girls on something
dangerous happening in which this was supposed to
look intense but it fails big time.
Afterwards the Halloween party begins but it
seems very overly long and slows down the horror
with J.J. acting cocky to some of the girls and
getting turned off by his attitude. Plus many
pointless scenrarios that seems confusing but yet
we spot J.J. doing a frat pledge scene with two
guys passed out from drinking by putting
whipcream on them and other traditional moments
like that to join the group which seemed a tiny
bit interesting but nothing too major.
Then later on the story seems to get going with
the horror as these pledge students are trapped
in an abandoned factory and then the family of
maincs toruture and kill these people in which
some of this looked fairly intense and we spot a
killer using a chainsaw in a Leatherface type of
fashion but I was thinking to myself "Yeah
right!".
But there were some neat moments with a masculine
pledge being introduced to the family and giving
him a chainsaw but we've seen this before. Sound
familiar?
The terror starts to pile up big time when J.J.
and his gang enter the place to see how
everything is going in which hell breaks loose
for them as there's the odd good intense killings
with the sick humor from some of the demented
family members.
There's some interesting twisted moments with a
whiny family member answering someone's cell
phone and making sure they tell this person to
enter their place and it's safe which does make
you cringe and wonder if she will fall into this
deadly trap.
The very ending seems to be the only good thing
warning some other people videotaping in front of
the factory with a ghostly type of woman warning
them not to go in there in which this would've
been useful for the beginning of this movie.
Bottom line is this story is very unorganised and
things are happening without any explanation
whatsoever and no reason behind this. The writing
is very bland for the most part and saves from
bombing cause there's the odd good dark creepy
moments with the family of killers. This is a
wannabe tribute to Texas Chainsaw
Massacre with a touch of House
of 1000 Corpses and Hostel.
The movie drags alot and is too long. I was
looking forward to the closing credits so I can
shut this clunker off.
The acting is very bad in which
lead actor Rob Jaeger (J.J.) is way too
over the top with his hyperactive behavior
playing the head sorority dude in which he tries
to act cocky and chauvinisitic but this wasn't
believeable at all. I just can't see this guy
going places at all.
Karen Fox (Kara) seems to try her best
playing the female lead here with her troubled
behavior as well as trying to be freaked out when
the terror hits her but yet she seems a little
bit wooden with whatever she does here and seems
like another one of those actors who needs some
lessons here.
Michael Reddy (Daddy) seems to have the
right witty and freaky growly type of voice to do
a freakshow like he was on screen but het he
wasn't threatening at all by any means whenever
he was performing his menacing type of behavior
and was quite over the top no matter what he did.
He wasn't overly terrible though.
Robyn Griggs (Griggs) yet seemed to stand
out in her performance with her squealy childlike
speaking and hyperactive attitude in which she
seems to have a hyped up adrenaline in her cruel
and evil behavior so I give this supporting
actress some decent credit into everything that
she did for this flick. Two thumbs up.
Michelene
Pancoe (Hayley) was another fine actress in
which she comes across as someone beautiful
looking along with a sharp blunt attitude as well
as being believeably aggressive in her role as
she performs all of this incredibly well for what
she did here.
Faces are sliced and scarred.
Woman is sawed in half.
Lots of blood splattering.
Plenty of bloody stabbings and chainsaw
slashings.
Eddie Lengyel was very off
beat on his directing other words terrible. He
coaches lead actor Rob Jaeger acting
hyped up with his announcements towards the
supporting cast on his plans in which this looked
incredibly silly and in a bad way.
There's also a moment with supporting actors Breanne
Racco telling Steve Thomlin a
situation and getting frightened about it looked
incredibly rough and stale.
Roger Connors acts way too over the top with
his anxious attitude after hallucinating towards
some of the main cast members and seems more
goofy with his words than intense.
There's a moment with Jaeger speaking
cocky towards supporting actress Michelene Pancoe
as she reacts well trying to snub him looking
quite natural but that's mainly due to her acting
than the directing here since alot of this looked
very stale.
There's reactions on supporting actors Shane
Clark and Robert S. Miller trying
to react scared but yet the directing is very off
when they perform this which is a total
disappointment.
Michael Reddy springs out acting crazy with
his speaking as it looked almost energetically
directed but how he was coached looked way too
slapstick.
Pancoe does well with her yelling aggressions in
a vehicle towards Jaeger in which this
was a decent moment on the directing skills. Yet
it's still nothing to brag about.
We spot a moment with Karen Fox running
away and screaming which looks extremely phony
along with supporting actor Don Kilrain chasing
after her in which he shows a half effort acting
energised but not a whole lot.
A good intense situation with Robyn Griggs
acting wild and crazy getting forceful towards Fox
as she does very well with her emotional sobbing
making this piece seem disturbing on how the two
were coached towards one another.
A nice close up shot on bit part actress Kris
Smith with her cold and gruff speaking which
looked impressive.
The music is nothing great here but
there's some interesting hissing and clanging
sounds like a rip off sounding to Texas
Chainsaw Massacre. We've heard all of
this before and it's quite amateurish.
