A group of six people go away for a weekend prior to a wedding. Wealthy anxiety prone Kennedy (Julia Benson) is getting married to Ryan (Peter Benson). The party includes Kennedy's older slightly jealous half sister Hannah (Christine Chatelain). Emily (Emilie Ullerup ) is a super friend to Kennedy. Chet (Kyle Cassie) is the best man who wants to get back with Hannah while Derek (Benjamin Ayres) is the confrontational old buddy of Ryan. He knows stuff about Ryan that make Ryan uneasy. He has his eye on Emily. They are renting a place from the overly creepy Bo (Dave Collette).

The film smartly takes it time to build and establish character and have minor confrontations. About 50 minutes or so when the body count starts to mount in this who-dun-it, the film seems to fall apart. There was nothing spectacular in the killings. The panic aspect didn't seem to work. The plot, which was well woven in the beginning, frays shortly after the first death with one of the main suspects getting killed first.

Nice little twist on the end. Too bad they couldn't deliver the middle game.

Parental guide: F-bomb. male rear nudity. Fully clothed sex...what was that about?

Basic mediocre slasher flick has shady Ryan and nervous wedding obsessed fiancé, Kennedy, driving with friends/acquaintances in SUV to wilderness cabin, rented after answering Craigslist ad from intense and brooding creep, Bo. Kennedy's sister, Hannah, is seen by Kennedy's gal pal, Emily, getting it from behind while hugging a tree from Ryan, realizing just how much of a mistake this marriage would be. Meanwhile Derrick, a chain-smoking, drug-dealing, no-good rotter from Ryan's past has came along, but his intentions are selfish and desperate: he needs 20 G's from Ryan and brings up past reckless behavior as a weapon to use against the upcoming marriage. Chet is the typical slasher booger with six pack abs, obnoxious frat boy self-serving sex-on-the-mind personality, always either aiming to get laid or goofing off. Emily really considers her friendship with Kennedy important and when she's told Ryan and her are moving to New York it doesn't go over well. Okay, the synopsis out of the way, this is very driven by providing a lot of plot and delivering very little in terms of exciting action. Ryan and Kennedy are doomed to fail and it's obvious from the get go. Yet the film spends an inordinate amount of time getting us to the implosion. Anyone besides naive Kennedy can see that Ryan is a prick. He's immediately spotlighted by the film as untrustworthy and scheming. That Derrick is a friend considering how much of a tool he is should tell others all they need to know. Hannah is jealous of Kennedy because daddy preferred her and purposely bangs Ryan out of spite. Emily is just waiting to spill the beans on that cruel union behind her buddy's back. Chet loves to scare the ladies or get in their pants. Bo lurks, snarls, and warns them not to party in his house...why these people decide to stay anyway is baffling. So a class act cast that start to fall prey to a killer, are taken out one at a time, and few will care. Fingers from a hand are chopped off and bodies are stabbed but the graphic violence is not shot or explicitly nauseating. This doesn't kill them as many viewers might desire considering how much time is spent with them before the killer emerges. I think the film follows closely to how slashers are, complete with red herring and unsurprising twist of who the killer really is. Because the camera drives towards a certain character but doesn't show her die, and how Bo is even shown with ax in hand, but never killing anybody, the direction of the film goes through the motions slasher fans see right through. If anyone believes that woman in the dress at the beginning is Kennedy should watch more slashers.

Surprisingly enough the plot was actually kinda complex. Sure, had its holes but once the action starts you do start do wonder a thing or two.

So let's begin: the acting was B+ for a horror, I was relatively impressed; the characters were maybe a tad bit cheesy, only wrong element being the "creeper". That one completely failed in my book; Camera work was good, better than your usual flick in the woods horror; plot came with a twist which shows that the producers actually put their brains at work; last but not least, death scenes, weak.

Tho 3 lovely girls are involved, all of them with huge cleavages, nudity won't make an appearance here. Little blood, a few good friendly jokes and the usual "let's split and everybody run in one direction waiting for the script to decide who dies next".

The reason I said C and not B will be explained once you view this. Which brings me to the next question: do I recommend it? Well, it could work if you are a fanatic in horror and you wanna add one more to the collection. In rest, although an effort was put into it, you can clearly see that it's missing the punch! Characters were indeed explored a little but in the end it had to be a horror and acted too little like one. Watch it and you'll most likely feel the same.

Cheers!
