Literally nothing happens in the first 30 minutes of this movie.
Then, suddenly...there is a guy in a deer skull mask killing people.
The aforementioned first third of the film is wasted on the attempted character development of some of the most loathsome and annoying individuals ever put on screen.
The whole thing takes place during the pandemic.
Where everyone is on lockdown, except, apparently, on Fire Island.
Which, as far as I can tell, acts as a gay resort, or something.
We find ourselves following a group, as they visit the island with hopes they can set their depressed gay friend up with a good looking new dude...after losing his previous partner...when he died.
However, both the writing and acting are completely atrocious.
With the plot construction being just as bad.
The whole thing is borderline unwatchable.
Now, I've been known to watch some pretty bad movies...but this one was a real struggle to sit through.
Let alone remain engaged.
There's just way too much cringey drama...and not enough horror.
And, even when there is horror...it has virtually no context.
It just happens...and the film continues to go nowhere.
Making you wonder why you are even putting in the time to watch it.
There is, eventually...a "big reveal"...but, not only is it waaaaay too predictable.
The reasoning behind it is, frankly, idiotic.
I honestly can't think of one redeeming quality that this film possesses.
So steer well clear.
Unless you have a high tolerance for cinemasochism.
Because this is definitely one of the worst horror films of 2023.
1 out of 10.
