Does a killer prowl the neighborhood or is it just local lore?


This is a coming-of-age drama mixed with mystery and horror of the slasher variety, but more realistic than a guy in a mask lurking around with a machete. It borrows story elements from "Psycho" and "Sleepaway Camp," but has the polished modern tone of flicks like "Solstice," "The Last House on the Left" (2009) and "My Soul to Take." It's not great like "Psycho" or the remake of "Last House," but it's at least on par with "Solstice" and superior to "Sleepaway Camp" and "My Soul to Take."

Jennifer looks great in her prime while Max Thieriot's character makes for a sympathetic study. The lush Eastern locations are sumptuous and the relatively believable story holds your interest while offering some unexpected revelations. The feminine cast also includes Allie MacDonald, Eva Link and Jordan Hayes.

It was shot in Metcalfe & Carp, Ontario, both outside of Ottawa.
