Review of Dead Tone

Dead Tone (2007)
3/10
Good concept, but very cliché and poorly executed.

Warning: Spoilers
**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".
