Circular saws...they're the new chainsaw
I'm not a big fan of dubbed movies so I was a little dubious about this one when I realized it made in French and dubbed in English (give me the subtitles any day), but it wasn't so bad.
College friends Alexia and Maria are visiting Alexia's family for a few days...about 15 minutes in you realize that Maria is batting for the other side and has a lil lesbian infatuation with her friend Alexia. That evening a Alexia's father answers the door to a stranger ....big mistake and it all goes Pete Tong (wrong) Alexia's dad and mum get hacked to pieces, the Killer doesn't kill Alexia but takes her with him. Marie manages to escape the killer and runs off in search of her friend.
There are good things and bad things about this movie I'll start with the good; this movie had my buttocks tightly clenched to the edge of my seat and although it was poorly executed I did enjoy the twist...now the bad due to budget and time issues the makers had to cut some scenes and in doing this they kinda left you thinking "What the f*ck" in some places.
I think this had potential to be a really good movie it was just a shame that it was effected by the budget restrictions (yeah I know its a common tale)....I found this flick a lil disturbing in the best kinda way ....I give it a 3 for effort.

| I keep meaning to watch this movie. A lot of good people close to me have recommended it and I don't know why, but I still haven't gotten it yet. |

this is another sh*tty wannabe horror film
Nothing scary or anything about it
the deaths were well done but other than that it was utterly horrible worst than See No Evil & Black Christmas combined |
