A Disappointing Continuation

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

5 guys and 3 girls go on a trip on spring break. The vehicle overheats and they end up at an isolated hunting lodge. The film is similar to a cabin in the woods type of thing. There are personal relationships at work and people getting killed.This is a run of the mill type of slasher film.Parental Guide: Sex and Nudity (Corrie Loftin formerly of the Lingerie Football League)

Released in 2012, "The Eves" is a backwoods slasher flick about group of college students on route to celebrate Spring Break on the Texas coast; they find themselves stuck in the middle of nowhere after their vehicle breaks down whereupon they seek succor at a rundown hunting ranch. Havoc ensues.While this is a micro-budget flick, it's competently made with decent actors and some spooky backwoods ambiance. Unfortunately, the first hour is just too slow and the characters aren't interesting enough to hold one's attention, neither is their mundane situation hanging out at the ranch. Speaking of which, it's a cliché in low-budget horror movies to have characters waltz right into someone else's house when no one answers the door and make themselves at home, like it happens all the time. It's just eye-rolling and unbelievable. Wouldn't they be concerned about how the owner(s) will react when they arrive home and see a bunch of strangers hanging out in their house like they own it? The three girls are okay at best; although there's one Barbie Doll girl, if that's your thang. They're pretty good actresses though, particularly the other two. The brunette's the best with her unique look. The script's marred by a convoluted subplot about religious abuse and the corresponding nutjobs it produces. The details aren't flushed out enough and the movie's not interesting enough to go back and (try to) connect the dots. Still, "The Eves" is worth checking out if you like Friday the 13th-like slashers. The film runs 85 minutes and was shot in Austin & Victoria, Texas.GRADE: C

Stop me if you've heard this one before: A group of college students en route to spring break find themselves in considerable jeopardy after their car breaks down nearby a rundown hunting lodge in the middle of nowhere. So far, so familiar, but fortunately director/co-writer Tyler Glodt keeps the hackneyed, yet still effective and engrossing story moving along at a snappy pace, crafts a reasonable amount of suspense and creepy atmosphere, delivers a satisfying smattering of gore and one nice pair of bare breasts, draws the characters with some depth, and manages to come up with a couple of decent twists for the harrowing last third. Moreover, the acceptable acting by a game no-name cast keeps the picture on track, with especially solid work from Matthew Albrecht as the righteous Matthew, Cathy Baron as the catty Nicky, Stewart W. Calhoun as the awkward Paul, Amelia Meyers as the brash Yvette, Micah Sudduth as the unhinged Luke, Corrie Loftin as the sultry Lauren, and J.R. May as annoying smartaleck Trevor. Thomas Bango's crisp widescreen cinematography provides a pleasing polished look. However, several irritating false scares and the general lack of originality knock this one down a few notches. Passable slasher fare.

Getting stranded while on a road-trip, a group of friends follow the advice of a local to stay at a supposedly-abandoned shack in the woods, only to find it's actually the home to a group of demented, devout religious followers intent on saving them from their sins, forcing them into a deadly struggle to survive.For the most part, this is an absolutely generic slasher in every sense of the word, as the fact that the twisted, warped views on religion provide so many agonizing moments of stupidity to come forth that it alone amounts for nearly all the film's problems right there, then take into account that it follows a time-honored tradition of a group of friends getting stranded in the woods and the locals with a hidden agenda that just seems so common a set-up that, by not doing anything radically different here, it tends to feel very clichéd and repetitive after a while. Added together with the very slow and drawn-out beginning here and it's got a lot to overcome. There's some nice brutality in the kills and the treatment of the prisoners in a dark, intense second half filled with more confrontations and encounters that does go some way toward redeeming this one, but all that religious stuff really can't be overcome and drags this down a lot, for there's not a lot that really overcomes a flaw like that.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and Brief Nudity.
