As of this writing, this is my second viewing of a rather bland film trying to pose as something entertainingly extreme. It fails in most every aspect.

We begin with a gagged person being filmed rather shakily until he's killed (off camera) and displayed dead on the floor. So begins this mess of a dull and boring piece of sh*t.

If you liked “Blair Witch Project's” homemade feel, then this might be your cup of tea. If not, then stay away from this yawnfest by any means possible. One has to wade through one boring segment after another here and when we finally arrive, it's hard “R” rape at best (though with some pretty effective makeup scenes in the torture department). Our primary killer's shrilling reminds one more of a mentally handicapped individual (with his mongoloid twin being the obvious filmaker).

I can't help but think of the old horror flick cliché, “Be afraid. Be very, very afraid”. This certainly pertains if you happen to have this stinker on your player.
