Hilarious no-budget slasher elevated by Randy Tobin's performance as Graham.
I was surprised this movie wasn't labeled a comedy, because Tobin's performance is hilarious. This isn't a knock against the movie--he's not unintentionally hilarious. In fact, his performance might be the only thing that makes this movie worth watching. He nails a sort of coked-out-awkwardness. If you're a fan of cringe humor, you will adore his performance.
Unfortunately, there are several problems with the movie that diminish my rating. As another reviewer pointed out, there is a fair amount of ad-libbing going on. Sometimes, this works for the scene, but other times it very much does not. Additionally, the plot, which hangs together pretty well during the first half, REALLY falls apart at the end. Finally, many of the characters serve no real purpose to the story.
I would love to tell you that if you're a fan of no-budget slashers, you'll enjoy this one. I can't.
