Its not that bad

I thought this was one of those bad horror movies that can be liked for what it is. If you get past the really bad acting and some unintended laughable moments, this movie was pretty good. Ive defiantly seen a lot worse.

Alot worse does not make this good.

It was predictable, and cliche. But someone wanted to make another "art" horror flick.

I'm usually pretty lenient when it comes to cheesy B flicks but this movie pissed me off for some reason. It felt like a knock off of Friday the 13th part 2 and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I'm ok with borrowing from other movies and all but this was ridiculous. The ending was atrocious and so predictable.

I definately agree with that, I don't know why all of these directors think they need to make their monsters invincible.

5/10 Nothing great but worth the watch.

Nice production values.....but everything else is terrible. I'd give it a 2/10 because of the 'Pluto' sign in the background.

Nice production values...sure. While it isn't terribly produced the green screen is laughably bad. But i guess 2/10 fits it because it is still watchable.

A typical "bad" horror movie.

We have the generic cast, the main character guy and girl, the ensemble of friends that just refuses to pay attention until the very last moment.

Jason Voorhee's cousin going on a killing spree to guess what.. get revenge.

The friends were fools. The guys practically let the murderer sneak up upon them, or of course, mistook himm for a payback joke. The girls? Thought he was one of the guys coming to play.

Main character guy and girl bravely fighting to the bitter end, outlasting their comrades by either pure luck, or in this case, the villain, who does a thorough job killing the friends without mercy, keeps the main guy alive long enough to kill him in front of the main girl's eyes.

Personally, I like those horror movies where you can't begin to guess who's gonna be killed and in which order (or feel some symphathy for the characters - these ones were clear cannonfodder from the very beginning). Shame that I rarely get to see one.

My one wrong prediction was with the main girl. She didn't say "Jason, my special special boy" when she lured the bad guy towards her. I stand corrected, the movie managed to surprise me.

Meh. I didn't hate it. Even the "twist" ending didn't surprise or impress me. It could have been worse though.
