this movie breaks all the rules!

instead of the promiscuous girls getting killed and the virgin being the sole survivor, it was the other way around in this flick! kate, who opposed to posing nude for the photographer, gets murdered. the girl who actually does pose nude and hits on kate's boyfriend has her life spared by the killer! but the 'experience girl' who strips for cash is the survivor! instead of following the horror movie rules, 'don't open till christmas' goes by it's own rules, which are... "if you wanna talk, talk. if you wanna see my tits it's an extra 5. for 15 i'll take everything off and for 50 anything goes. what you do on your side of the glass is your business".

I think it's a nice change of thought to see a girl who isnt completely innocent be the final girl, even though I was totally shocked when Belinda Mayne got killed, I was actually expecting her to live and to see the 'experience' girl get killed because that's how almost all slasher movies function

Didn't the killer wake up and put his hands around the girl's neck after he fell down the stairwell?

...he probably should have paid her 50 upfront - wouldn't have had all that complaining then.

You saw him start to strangle her, you did not actually see him kill her though. So hopefully she might have escaped still.

Yeah, I totally dug the way this film broke all the major slasher movie rules.

Yeah, I like how this film broke away from the mold a bit. It was a nice change of pace.
