Yes this is a below average slasher copy flick, but it DOES feature the semi-legendary Rutger Hauer AND it has just recently been revealed in the Denver metropolitan area that one of the original financers of this film is Steve Atwater--potential hall of famer Denver Bronco's safety and one of the cast members is legendary Denver Bronco cornerback Ray Crockett!For long time fans of the Denver Broncos, this is more than enough to establish this near-forgotten movie as a cult classic! If you love the Broncos, you owe it to your fandom status to watch this movie!

**SPOILER ALERT**The movie started out with a montage of a killing. It was edited with the opening credits. I'm not sure the reason behind this but it wasn't effective. It honestly annoyed me a bit.Fast-forwarding 10 years later the killer comes back to haunt the children that viewed the past murder. He begins stalking them. In one particular scene he watches them from across the street. This scene was poorly edited. When we are seeing the killer's point of view, its blue and blurry. The last time I saw anything lie this was in the beginning murder scene. I'm not sure the reasoning behind this. I think it was very redundant and unnecessary. On their way to the house, the students stop for a bathroom break. One if the students dresses like a clown and scares his friend in a bathroom stall. This is so cliché. Most slasher movies tend to do this. Later on after the killings, we come to find out one of the students was the killer and had a friend aiding him. This is a great plot twist. This was the only thing I enjoyed in the entire movie. The movie had a great concept behind it, but was poorly executed and had too many "cliche moments".

This is a very good film. High production values; good direction. There are really good scares and lots of tension. Plus there is a lot of gore throughout.It has a violent montage in the opening credits which seems a bit gonzo -- but it does grab your attention and works for the plot. It's odd, most reviewers are claiming this film is just a "Scream" rip-off. Not at all. It does have a twist that is almost identical to a famous 1981 slasher, but it is well updated and put to good use.Another oddity: reviewers are claiming the film has a bad script and/or bad acting. I don't get it. This film is well cast and the acting is really on the mark. As for the script -- it made perfect sense to me. No holes in it at all. One last note -- this film isn't a throw-back to the 80s. The film feels up to date. Gay characters aren't just there for comedic relief. The black characters are real, interesting and sympathetic. I think the film avoids clichés while still working within the constraints of the genre.I will definitely watch this film again.

I enjoyed this movie as it was every bit as good as any other Horror/Slash movie flick that we have seen. You don't want to have to think and analyze when you are watching, you just want it to flow. I thought the cast did a great job with what they had to work with. The script was poorly written, leaving plots hanging for us to try to figure out. They gave us a lot of blood and gore which makes this kind of movie met its audience's demands. I personally enjoyed the ending, but wished that they hadn't killed off Katrina, as they could of done a sequel. I guess they could say she was stabbed, but didn't die. I liked her, the killer and of course Ratguer Hauer, the detective the best.
