Thank you to Mr.Pink & JenniferoftheJungle for recomending this one to me. All I have to say is WOW! What a great film. Low Budget film making in its finest form. And a good message as to how far some of these Reality TV shows will go for ratings. Honestly as far fetched as the theme of the movie may have been it's probably not far from the truth as what could happen in the world of reality telivision if it was taken to an extreme lvl in the quest for ratings.

The Story-A very unique twist on Reality TV shows and how far they will go for ratings and how we as people get sucked into the misery and despair that others go through. A very well put together story with some jumpy moments. There were a few clique characters, but overall they were well written and had some good dialougue. And I especialy liked the little twist at the end. I really thought that it was a nice touch.

The Cast-The Lead character of Megan & Devon where excellent and gave great performances. Actually for a low budget flick I was pretty impressed with just about all of the actors performance. A bit over the top at times, but I think in a film like this it was warranted. Also I thought the (Slashers) themselves were well done and actually had some nice touches brought to them by the actors who played them.

The F/X's-Were about 50/50 in terms of effectiveness, but considering the budget I thought that for the most part they were well done. There were a few F/X shots that I was really impressed with. And a few I thought were cheesy. But overall not bad.

The Cinematography-This was the one complaint that I had. Its a minor one because considering the subject matter and what they were shooting for its a fault that can be overlooked. The film was shot as if it were a real reality show instead of a movie. This does add some nice effect to the film at times, but occasionaly gets a little annoying.

Overall-What a good time I had with this film. Just a blast with a good story, more than a few scares and characters that I liked. A couple of nice little twist thrown in for good messure and some really intersting Killers. If your a fan of horror movies that are a bit different and not just the same old thing then I highly recomend this film to you. Remember going in that this is a low budget independant film and you'll have a good time. Don't go in expecting a multi-million dollar F/X's extravagana. But a good story, some scares and just alot of fun.

If you'd like to check this film out I highly recomend you plop down the $6 dollars and buy it. You can order it off www.deepdiscountdvd.com with free shipping. Give support to this film and the people who made it. Maybe, just maybe they'll bring us some more horror fun in the future. And hell if you buy it your not really out much more than what you'd pay for a rental. Plus the DVD is loaded with lots of cool extra's. For $6 bucks you cant go wrong.
