    Routine independent slasher. It's a reasonable attempt but light on shocks, gore or scares. Bruce Payne and Jurgen Prochnow make appearences though which was cool, they're always good value... unfortunately their acting talent didn't rub off on Kelly Brook who thankfully gets dis... read morepatched early on.

    A very good low budget slasher with a neat twist.

    I should have known better than to watch this, it's a very typical scary type movie. Lots of screaming, very predictable most of the way through. Have to say the ending made this a little more barable, as it warmed up in that last 10 minutes

    This B-movie-ish horror wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. Molly, the sole survivor of a massacre a few years back, joins a college to study criminal psychology.

This starts off pretty badly and picks up halfway through and has some fairly effective scares and some gore. Overall, an ok, if not great, who-did-it type horror.

Horror fans might enjoy the ridiculousness of the ensemble and the nas... read morety kills, but there is not enough originality to recommend it to anybody else.

    It was a good movie. Sucked that it was two hours long. The movie started off slow. The ending was so typical. She would make it out alive. It was a good movie though. I thought the whole killing thing where they matched the initials with the other one's was cool.
