one hell of a fun slasher!


It is 2004 and a group of seniors decide to play a prank on one of their classmates which results in him getting into major trouble. 10 years later the group of friends receive invites to stay at the house they thought was abandoned in their hometown the night before their 10 year reunion. Upon arriving they find disturbing drawings and immediately think something isn't right. Throughout the night, people start to disappear, and suspicions begin to rise. Has their old classmate plotted his own revenge or has one of their own decided to take matters into their own hands and get rid of the class of 04?

This indie horror film directed by Steve Goltz and written by Kevin Sommerfield is the breath of fresh air the slasher and horror genre needed in the wake of remakes and endless sequels. Although the film runs 75 minutes, it is non-stop fun throughout. The film has MANY references and nods to other slasher films. Not only that but it has excellent kills, and a great cast to boot. You can really tell the cast had a lot of fun with the film and their roles. Most notable is Stephanie Leigh Rose as our lead girl Erica. Watching her in this film made me think she has all the making of a Scream Queen. We also have leading male, Spencer Harlan as Erica's boyfriend David, who brings a lot of the charm of the film, but once things begin to escalate, Harlan gives it his all. The whole cast does a great job that you can't help but love them, even the characters you're supposed to despise. When the film finally reaches its big showdown with the killer you can just feel the tension between the characters and you really see the actors losing themselves in the roles.

If you're sick of remakes, sequels, and overused found footage horror Hollywood is spitting at you, check out this great film that shows the slasher subgenre is still very much alive.
