HORRIBLE, 30 January 2003
1/10
Author: Matt..377 from United States

A "psycho cop" (note the clever title) stalks and kills collegians vacationing at a secluded woodsy cabin. No plot, no subtlety, no surprises, no scares, no suspense. Just boring scenes and monotonous dialogue, not to mention terrible acting by Shafer as the maniac. Given the circumstances, the victims (in more ways than one) can be applauded for giving decent performances in thankless roles.

No really explicit gore or nudity, making me wonder what audience the filmmakers had in mind.

* out of ****

MPAA: Rated R for some violence.
