 
A
teenage couple named Rose (Sarah McGuire)
and Kevin (Ash Dauenhauer) are enjoying
their night after their prom but a bunch
of drunken kids try to pull a prank on
them and one of them happen's to be the
ex-boyfriend of Rose's named Jake (Luke
Jones) who beats Kevin half to death
thinking that he's dead and rapes Rose.
Next, Jake kills Rose and everyone agrees
to keep this all a secret while they put
their bodies in a car and then pushes the
vehicle into the lake. However, before
the car landed into the lake Kevin weakly
tells Jake that he'd seek revenge by
killing them all.
Ten years have passed and everyone gets
together for their reunion but still feel
guilty after all that happened. Each of
them see the ghost of Rose and then are
slaughtered by a man wearing a white
mask.
One of the survivors named Meg (Sandra
Wingocrocki) is getting very scared by
all of this and thinks that Jake is
possibly behind all of these murders not
believing that neither these two people
that were killed have risen from the
dead.
Probably one the
best budgeted film that was on the Tomb
of Terrors collection in which
most of those films were made on a cheap
camcorder and was thrown on that set but
not this one.
This one very much cloned I Know
What You Did Last Summer but
instead of a hit and run it's murdering a
prom couple and keeping a secret but we
all know the makers borrowed heavily from
the film mentioned.
For it's Zgrade budget there's many
interesting haunting moments along with
the slashing scene's too. Yet the story
isn't too believeable that these young
people are hurting by keeping such a dark
and deadly secret so it's not too
psychological in that matter of sense.
However, there's lots of fun touches with
the killings but at the same time that
the killings were supposed to be
mysterious on who the killers really are
everyone knows. Oh well, at least these
people tried the best they could with all
of this. Plus there were many goofy
scene's with the detectives which didn't
fit the story at all.
If a sequel arises I'm all hands for it
since I had alot of fun watching this
film even if it lacked in alot of spots.
The acting is not
too bad as lead actress Sandra
Winogrocki seemed to bring a nice
smooth talking calmness to her part in
the film as well as a good target for the
killers too. She had the right look too
for the role she portrayed as well as
doing good when she freaks out about what
is going on along with her disturbed
attitude on what happened after the prom.
Luke Jones played a perfect bad ass
in the film as he was terrific with his
menacing aggressions and violent behavior
too when he needed to do so on set. He
just looked like one of those typical
troublemakers that you don't want in your
life.
Danny Countess tried to play a
serious goofy detective in the film but
however he seems to try a little too hard
to play this type of role that it looks a
bit fake. However he does bring his
seriousness together nicely after he
tries to come to the rescue for the next
time the killer does their evil deeds.
Matt Thomsen who played his sidekick
was just plain annoying and was very
mellodramatic trying to act opposite of
him by not taking his work seriously. He
did nothing for me at all. Just not a
born character actor at all.
Mariana Crasto showed alot of good
characteristics as a sympathetic one and
showing lots of energy to her part in the
film really knowing her role inside out.
She had the right looks too which was one
of the film's plus.
Kyle Richards was another
mellodramatic one in the film but again
his part was to be a total goofball in
it. He is still over the top nonetheless
and tried way too hard at portraying this
role in which you can tell while watching
him. Thank god he was the first one to be
killed.
Sarah McGuire really knew how to act
ghostly showing her expressionless looks
and silent behavior. I give her a two
thumbs up for acting very haunting like.
Some bloodied bodies
A pair of clippers stabs through a
person's neck and their head is chopped
off showing the remains as well
A knife is stabbed through a person's
chest
L. Alan Brooks
tried very hard to make the film look
disturbing and seemed to do the trick the
odd time but was better with his work on
the slashing moments.
There's real intense shots on Luke
Jones beating Ash Dauenhauer to
a pulp as there's many good brutal shots
along with a nice camera shot looking up
on Jones.
There's a good shot on Jones
coming up from behind Sarah McGuire and
whacking her with a stick which there's
good close up shots on him doing this
making the scene incredibly disturbing.
There's a good shot on Jones
pushing the car with everyone else along
with Dauenhauer in the car seat
weakly saying to him he's going to kill
them all which looked extremely
effective.
There's a nice camera shot looking up on
the whole cast for this scene discussing
to keep what they did a secret which
looked perfect.
There's a good moment with a scene
between Kyle Richards being
scolded by Dave Narramore as his
boss on not doing a good job which looked
quite powerful.
There's a corny dialogue between Richards
and bit part actress Poppy Helgren
as a prostitute getting kinky with one
another as well as a good shot on Richards
handcuffed and blindfolded to a bed and
getting in the mood with a sudden camera
shot on a door opening and a down shot on
McGuire, without her face being
revealed, coming in and then a great
shocked reaction after his blindfold is
removed along with a good shot looking up
on Dauenhauer wearing a mask
looking down on him with McGuire
next to him plunging a deadly weapon down
on Richards.
We spot good dialogues between Jones
and Sandra Winogrocki reuniting
after 10 years and speaking seriously
towards one another about the tragedy
they created with the odd aggression by Jones
about it all which looked quite
impressive.
There's a nice dialogue between
Mariano Crasto trying to make Winogrocki
feel better about what happened in the
past in which the setting seemed very
natural as two friends having a
discussion.
There's many corny dialogues between
Danny Countess and Matt Thomsen
as detectives trying to figure stuff out
which was supposed to look funny but the
directing falls totally flat on all of
this.
There's a good shot on Jess Thompson
at a hallway suddenly staring out along
with a shot on McGuire looking
back and then walking away with Thompson
trying to follow her. Next there's a good
shot on Thompson at a toilet
with Dauenhauer coming up behind
him and a shot on some giant clippers in
the air and then plunging down on him.
There's nice intensity between both Jones
and Winogrocki towards one
another when she thinks he's the killer
and he gets obnoxious and forceful
towards her.
We hear many nice thumping
beating sounds for the creepy moments in
the film as well as some rumbling noises
too. Plus during the middle of the film
there's some keyboard music which almost
sounds similar to the theme song of The
Shining but in a cheesy fashion
all composed by Paul Orwell.
