When i was looking round a local shop for a fun Saw or Friday the 13th style film,i spotted a very good looking Saw-style cover,that could be watched in 3-D!.And though it looked like a fun gory type of film,it ended up being an okay horror film,that is partly let down by being jaw-droopingly terrible in 3-D The plot:
A woman goes back to her old town for the first time in sixteen years to visit her niece and brother.This is the first time the she has been back to the town since she and her best friend got kidnapped by a serial killer the got them to play a "game",the was that he would use very sharp blades to cut and scar each of them,until one of them tells him to kill the other one.But,even though she has done everything the she can to move on from this in her life,when she comes back to the town,friends of her niece start turning up dead,having been very badly scared,she decides that she has to face her troubles again,and try to find out how the killer has started up again.
View on the film:
The screenplay is by Zack Ford,although Ford keeps the torture set pieces that have now been done to death in these types of film,he is able to do slightly different things with the set up to the story.This is done by not having the main characters being in a group or with there boyfriends,instead they have the main two people in the film be girls that are on there own,the you feel really could be friends.The director is Jed Weintrob,and one of the main things that lets the film down is Weintrob doing Hostel/Saw style deaths with no creativity at all,the makes most of them very unrememberable.And i feel the i have to point out how disappointed i am with the shockingly bad 3-D version of the film,with almost the whole film being in black and white for no reason at all,and the bits of colour the are used in the film (such as a global map in someones bedroom being in colour)have no point at all of being the highlighted parts of the film,which end up making the film look like a very,very bad Sin City.
Final view on the film:
A horror film with a good set up,the is let down by some boring torture scenes and some terrible 3-D filming.
