I thought it was ok actually

I thought this film was pretty decent as horror flicks go. First of all, the female lead (Allison Lange) is stunning. There was a twist at the end which although not exactly credible, was I felt actually quite disturbing. The action sequences were all pretty well done, and although I must admit that certain things in the film appeared to be, logistically or in terms of realism, absolutely ridicolous - if you are able to suspend belief and just enjoy it for what it is, I think it is basically an ok teen horror film with a very good looking cast.
