Anyone looking for a "serious" horror film, not my usual cup of tea I should point out, won't find that here. But that's not the point here . . . having fun with the ridiculously corny plot and the campy characters with their over-the-top cheesy dialogue is exactly what this film is all about.For those folks who seem bent on delivering a somber, detailed analysis of this film . . . lighten up, take a breather for a moment or two.I liked this film. The clichés' and absurd one-liners is enough to keep anyone entertained . . . if you are in the mood for an offbeat, quirky pseudo horror comedy, which is my take on this odd piece.My favorite character / actress in this escapade is Sascha Knopff as the (in my humble opinion, uniquely hot) detective Nikki . . . but everyone here was absurdly delightful in their own way.So folks, lighten up a little bit . . . have some fun with this one, if you can.

What's so incredibly bad about this movie is that it isn't even good enough to look like a fresh-out-film-school project, with those clumsy attempts to be arty and make up for that final C minus. The editing is choppy and the story makes no sense. (It's clear the filmmaker just wanted to make a statement, and sadly, there's no enough substance in that statement to fill 105 minutes.) The acting - oh, who am I kidding, there's no acting going on, just line recitation. All the characters talk exactly the same, and worse, all have the same bad dialog of that immature, bitter guy in his early 30s whose friends have all moved on while he wonders why he's the one who's still single. In fact, the characters are SO unlikeable, so shallow, so crude, so sex-obsessed, so mean-spirited, and so stupid, including the detectives, that you're forced to root for the killer just to get it over with. And that's the moment when you KNOW you've wasted minutes of your life you'll never get back.

i don't usually post comments about films. but after watching this disaster i needed to warn any potential viewers: STAY AWAY. there is nothing redeeming about this movie in any way. the acting is laughably bad, the editing made me want to close my eyes (which is what the black screen cuts felt like) and the script...i kept marveling every two minutes, "who wrote this?" the lead actor couldn't act his way out of a speeding ticket, and the lead actress, all i could do was stare at her obviously cosmetically enhanced bosom and lips. i'm surprised that someone actually committed time and money to this catastrophe. in fact, i'm so incensed right now that i have to continue writing more lines since there is a minimum of ten required for comment submission so i will continue typing things until it says i am OK to submit. apparently this is enough.

I waited a while to get my copy of this film. The copy I have is autographed by writer/director Philip Creager, Sascha Knopf (Shallow Hal), Aaron MacPherson, P.J. Soles (Carrie, John Carpenter's Halloween, Jawbreaker), Edie Dearing, Julian Berlin, Jilon Ghai, Pennie Leigh Orcutt, and more. Mentioned in the interest of full disclosure before I write a review.While I was thrilled that I got a good look at Christa Campbell, who was supposed to sign, but didn't show, the movie as a whole was routine and the acting was what I would expect on the WB.P.J. Soles was very good as the creepy mom, and Sascha Knopf was interesting enough to make we want to see more of her, but the story just didn't flow very well and it was hard to keep track of the ring as it passed from girl to girl.It was worth my time to see Christa, but if she's not on your "must-watch" list just wait until it comes on cable.
