Watch Dead Tone For Free

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Fantastic!

An Exercise In Nonsense

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

As a fan of horror films, I seek out anything in the genre from big budget horrors to low budget indie ones... I have a particular liking for teen slashers though (and no, I'm not particularly young or male!)which this film falls into the category of. I found this film to be quite entertaining for what it was, decent acting, good camera work etc. Nothing new or innovative in the way the killer dispatches his victims, but the identity of the killer, for me anyway, was not immediately obvious. One complaint I did have is that in places, everything was so dark I couldn't see what was going on. I also feel that Rutger Hauer's character was wasted but that's probably because I am a fan of his and would have liked to have seen him on screen longer. Otherwise a decent effort.

This film is an incredibly mixed bag of a horror movie. It is y scenes, but not enough of them to actual credit the movie with good writing. The opening is pretty stupid, and feels like something a 12 year old would think up as a scary opening.A huge problem with this movie that goes against slasher formula, is that none of the women are good looking at all. Normally they are just cast to look nice on screen and less for their actual acting ability. However, the women in this movie are neither good looking, or able to act.Rutger Hauer is in the movie for around 10 minutes worth, though he does not really move the plot forward at all. It felt more like he owed someone a favor and was written into the film to reach a larger viewing base. He does a decent enough job with having no good dialogue. He just intensely stares into the camera, which is scarier than any of the actual horror moments the film presents.After the initial characterizations, when the killer finally shows up, the film really gets going. The special effects are not that good, but it still presents us with enough fun to make it memorable. I had a good time watching this movie and if you are a fan of slashers, this will definitely pass the time. Has a nice conclusion as well.The Good- Fun slasher, decent enough gore, some funny moments, ending.The Bad- ugly people, below average acting, bad opening scene.--- Note: The original name of the movie is '7eventy 5ive'. If you look carefully, you will see that number in various places throughout the film.

Everything about this movie is standard stuff. Except for a few points. First, the killer in the first five minutes doesn't seem to have much motivation. Second, there are some really strange scenes. There are two scenes back to back that seemed to exist to promote condom use. It almost came across like it was product placement, although the idea may have been to insert a moral into the movie. Third, some of the characters are nearly offensive in how stereotypical they are. There's a gay character that exists to talk in a stereotyped fey voice. There are two black guys who talk and behave in a stereotyped "black guy" style.There's nothing compelling about the movie, but aside from these things, there's also nothing worth looking for.

Put a bunch of typical (read : annoying) teenagers partying in a huge mansion, feed them with alcohol and sex and let an axe murderer ruin the party. That's pretty much the idea.Although there are some huge plot holes and the characters are too unlikable too care for, this didn't ruin the entertainment value for me. The atmosphere and style of this film is very reminiscent of "All the boys love Mandy Lane" as well as the old fashioned '80s slasher films. If this is what you're looking for, you're probably gonna enjoy this film. However, don't expect it to be anything more than that. It sure as h*** ain't no Shakespeare (to stick with the ghetto language of some of this film's characters).
