It's one of those films that you hear about and watch out of pure curiosity because of the bizarre nature of the premise. I remember people going nuts over 'Teeth' because it was a film about a woman with teeth in her vagina, now we've got a beloved children's character reimagined as a slasher film, which I originally thought was a practical joke when I first heard of it.
That really is ultimately the selling point of a very predictable and otherwise run-of-the-mill horror film. A bunch of young women rent a holiday house in the woods and.......well you do the maths.
I've seen slasher films where characters make utterly stupid decisions, like running upstairs away from the killer and end up getting cornered, or falling for a suspiciously high pitched voice saying "help me" and following it into the woods ALONE, but here, we have a woman taking selfies in a hot tub, she notices Pooh in the background, but after a half arsed search, she drops her guard and relaxes back in the hot tub again. That has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen a character do in a horror movie. Fair enough if she heard a noise and just rationalised it as her imagination, but no, SHE SAW THE KILLER WATCHING HER in the background and she got back into the hot tub after a half arsed search. Talk about perpetuating the dumb blonde girl stereotype!
This movie had potential, but like I said, it's a very predictable and unoriginal film with a bizarre selling point that plays on your curiosity. Nothing more and nothing less.
