Notes

My quick rating - 4,8/10. You don't always have to reinvent the wheel to get noticed. This movie takes a typical slasher approach, minus any super-human powers ala Jason or Michael but just an everyday person turned killer by circumstances. I won't go to much into that since it is part of a twist or two but the killer (revealed early in the film) is pushed over the edge and hunts down a group of young adults that are taking a day off school to party. Nitpicking this film would be far too easy but if you just sit back and take in the old school slasher that it is, you won't be disappointed, well, not much that is. The kills are fairly mundane and don't get focused on gore, which is fine. The killer (Bill Oberst Jr.) is pretty convincing in his role, often letting his facial expressions do the talking. I will say the "kids" in this film all but one act pretty stereotypical but the goth chick steps out of the norm (scene is pretty funny, all I will say about that). Worth a watch for slasher fans but don't use this to try to recruit a newbie to the genre since it doesn't wow you at all. For a small budget and a lot of newcomers from cast and crew, this is nicely done.
