GREAT ROOM, BUT WHAT’S THAT SMELL?

This is a Rene Perez’s so bad its good film installment. Don’t be confused, this in a one star or zero star film. I just thought it was so bad I got some enjoyment from it. A reality TV show takes 4 contestants to a mountain cabin where there is no cell phone service, except when the cell phone rings. There is a slasher up there and the last person standing stars in their own horror movie and that million dollar thing. I am not sure why someone wears a barbed wire guard around their head, seems a bit cumbersome at beddy-bye time. The film doesn’t end with closure and director-writer-producer-etc.-etc. will certainly make another one. I am glad to see he is doing bad horror instead of bad fantasy films with idiotic flashbacks.

Guide; Nudity (Elonda Seawood, Karin Brauns or double)

Worst Horror Movie Ever

This is perhaps the worst horror movie I’ve ever seen in my life; It just may be the worst film I’ve ever watched, period. From the opening scene you could tell the acting was going to be horrible, and the ending kills off any redeeming quality and good will this movie may have earned on the way.

This movie was so bad that with 10 minutes left to go, I decided to come to IMDb and rate it a 3, which was an extremely generous rating. Then the ending happened (or didn’t happen rather) and I had to change my rating to a 1 and quickly toss up a review because I have that much contempt for this film. I’ll never get the time I spent watching this movie back, and I may just hate this movie forever.

Solid and worthy follow-up

Stuck on hard times, a struggling single mother accepts an offer to become a part of a new reality show and joins the others on the shoot deep in the woods to escape from a masked killer, but when they learn it’s a setup with a real killer stalking them one-by-one try to get away alive.

This here was quite the decent follow-up effort. One of the better aspects of this one is the improvement in several areas over the original, including upping the ante on the body count. Rather than focus the time on a single individual, this one takes great use of the reality show-shoot concept by artificially adding a few extra bodies to hack up that also means it contains some extra blood and gore in the kills with more opportunities to do so. From the opening assault on the lone victim in the woods to the tied-up and mutilated body, this one features a nice start here while still undergoing the confines of the reality show setup here that it goes through in the first half. The game itself is quite a decent setup with them attempting to survive a make-believe horror film only to find themselves in a real one, and with the isolation of the deep woods and plenty of atmosphere generated from the lavish house that leads plenty of good fun to come from the stalking scenes to be featured here. From the series of ambushes showing him sneaking up on the victims inside the house to the chase through the woods after finding the strung up body inside the tree, these scenes here aren’t that bad and definitely set up the fun to be had in the final half where it’s down to the two of them in the final confrontation in the woods which is a decent overall setpiece that has a lot to like with the shootouts and confrontations with the killer. It also doesn’t hurt that this continues to exploit its fine central killer who is an insanely chilling presence that this one gets a lot of mileage out of as the flesh-colored mask wrapped in barbed wire and twisted metal still leaves an indelible mark during his scenes. These here hold it up over it’s few minor flaws. The main issue here is the fact that there’s just such an abbreviated and quick ending that it’s nearly impossible to be put off by what happens since it’s smack in the middle of a battle that has both sides at a standstill rendering it impossible to know what happened. This literally reads as though it ran out of money and never bothered to go back to finish what was going on as this just ends without deciding anything. As well, this one suffers from a similar flaw from the original in its lack of overall clarity with what’s going on. Hardly anything is explained at all here, from what the employer at the computer monitors is trying to accomplish to what the purpose of the killer is supposed to mean and why he’s unaware of it all from the start. Alongside the moments where it’s obvious the low budget comes shining through, these are what holds this one back.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Language and Brief Nudity.
