I want to know why in the crappy movie, the black guy had to be lynched? The only brother. I don't know why this B***hes made this movie, it was a waste of time and money.

No he wasnt lynched, and yes he was hanged, but they could have chose a different way to kill him off. But it doesnt matter, the movie was dumb anyway and besides blacks rarely make it through an entire horror film anyway!

Where's the NAACP when you REALLY need them! :-)

They wouldn't waste their time with B-movie garbage like this.

The National Association of Alcoholics with Cod Pieces is a wily bunch and are rarely to be found in any large number.

Yeah, all but two guys were lynched, did you mention that? While you're on the subject about how racist this is I could point out that he had the slowest death possible...GOOD FOR HIM!

No. He was the only one who was lynched; the other people were strung up post-murder.

I thought it was weird the the Asian guy, the Latina, and the black guy were the only victims in the whole movie who hadn't done anything wrong (i.e. effing with the pinata, being horny, cheating, doing drugs.) All the other victims were "bad" in some way.

[–] bombsniffingdog 18 years ago

Yes because white people are the only ones to do ever do anything wrong. We are the only ones to f..k with stuff, be horny, cheat, and do drugs, right?

[–] JadaDreams 18 years ago

No. The black girl was being horny and I believe the guy who broke the pinata (and smoked weed) was of Latin descent.

If you'll read what I wrote, I merely observed that all the "innocent" (in horror movie standards) victims were people of color; not that the white people were the only ones behaving badly.

You think this is racist? =->
watch 2001 manaics they kill the back guy on a cotton gin really now thats racist but then again its a movie so whats the deal noone complains about the backwoods hillybilly whiteboys that always seem to be inbred cannibals do they?

[–] DatLatinoKidd 16 years ago

wow i never noticed that, you are right. That is racist. The real question is why did the Black guy and the Latino have to die at all?

[–] Marloo 16 years ago

It's a B dead college student horror movie with no aspirations to attempt anything new or interesting, except maybe the whole pinata idea. To hold this movie to a higher standard when its own creators clearly didn't is an exercise in futility.

This made me laugh. True.

Say, this is a cool thread! Let me give it a try: the first victim is a latino by the name of Bill..or was it Bob? Anyway: some kind of typical Hispanic name..
Second victim is some redhead chick. Now hold on: I've got red hair too..! Let's monitor this scene very closely in case they plan to do something racis...he's bashing the sister on the head with a spade!! I KNEW it!! A deliberate attack on her scalp to make us redheads look bad..! I'm calling racist here!!
That how it works? Interesting way to watch silly movies. I'm going to watch them like that too from now on. A good diversion from bad acting, worse story-telling and plain awful CGI monsters: thanks!
