Awful editing made me turn this movie off after 15 minutes

I can't comment on the movie's plot, or the acting but sure hell I can comment on the editing.

It sucks big time. The 15 minutes I saw was full of loud music, very annoying jump cuts and moments where the picture goes black and white and is rewound.

VERY, VERY, VERY ANNOYING.

It's like some idiot's YouTube video.

I gave it 15 minutes and that's all I could take. If there is one thing I cannot stand is editing like this. It sucks BIG TIME.

This movie would have been a good slasher flick with good actors and editing for sure.

The acting on this one is SO BAD that I actually saw the whole movie to see how just how low these actors would go for fame.

I thought the same thing right away. I gave it 15 more minutes than you, then pulled the plug.

The worst editing I have ever seen. It hurt my eyes, ears and soul. Rest was crap too, so it only made bad even worse.

Thanks for the replies. Glad I wasn't the only one to think the editing sucks.

Worst ever in a movie.

The camera being used is decent and the audio is much better than what you find on most of these low budget movies. The acting is acceptable

Agreed there, though I thought the acting was bad (but not toooo bad for this kind of film, to be fair. The bigger issue would be the characters) The script, editing, and directing just really, really kill this.

Thanks for the warning I suspected it was going to be a painful ride and one to avoid.

I give it 3 weeks for the rating to drop to 4/10

The editor was f-cking awful. Second worst editing job I've seen (behind the Catwoman basketball scene) This had so many flaws, but the editing is REALLY what dragged it down to a 1 for me. I think it might have gotten a 2 without that
