Some obvious straight to video flaws in this film...


Other than the fact that the plot doesn't work too well, here's some other flaws I've spotted...
1. What a rip off! SEX SCENE!? All it was was passionate kissing on a bed!
2. They never show what's beyond the stairs in Thommason's house...and notice his niece's BF lives in a room that's upstairs somewhere...and his house doesn't show any downstairs. Verdict: They used the top floor of Thommason's house. How cheap is that?
3. That obnoxious girl is sitting on a park bench with some giant God know's what thing for lunch. WTF?
4. Why does Thommason keep doing these little "encounters" with the gangs in these films? Just kill them the first time! LAME
5. The girl requests some time free in the yard.
How old is she again? SHE'S ASKING FOR PLAYTIME IN THE FREAKIN YARD!
The worst part is, her life is in danger, and that's why Thommason said for her to stay home. So the fool is questioning him...why?

The list of flaws could go on for ever, and that's what makes b-movies what they are. I love them. I love picking out those lame flaws. The Substitute films were pretty cool as far as lame flawed B-movies. I love it.
Post some more flaws you saw.

Haha you're so right about the house thing. Even if there are lots of flaws I still think it's a great and entertaining movie... It's weird that movie is kinda old (7 years) and people still post messages about it...

It's on tv stations late at night all the time.

this is really is the greatest B movie of our generation.

I bought the DVD for 8 dollars, and I have DEFINITELY gotten my moneys worth.

So long, Thomasson!

How about the gunfight in the school with automatic weapons, explosions, etc. Then the very next day, the place is open for business with no sign of what went down there the following night? WTF?!?
