a slightly bloody diversion, 2 November 2007
6/10
Author: nekojiru67 from Saitama, Japan

This is a low-budget, shot on video film about a group of teens who are sent into an abandoned, cursed meat-packing plant to take an inventory of its contents. The teens reawaken an Aztec-demon-possessed butcher who killed his coworkers 40 years ago (oops!) and are possessed and murdered one by one.

The good: nice location, reasonably well-lit, though more variation in the large empty rooms would have added to the film. For the most part the actors (especially the main teen in charge of the inventory) do a good job.

The bad: hammy butcher villain isn't scary, Aztec curse "rules" never really explained, little plot problems (characters screaming at one end of a basement aren't heard by other characters a few hallways/rooms away?), awkwardly handled nudity.

You've got a ghost/demon that only appears to people who are just about to be killed, yet the film never really does anything special with that. The characters always wait/watch him close in on them and kill them, instead of, say, telling their friends where he's at in the room so they can help fight him off. Some scenes of the butcher menacing a teen (especially the final showdown) are ANNOYINGLY edited with lots of cuts. Eventually the scenes become boring.

After watching the movie I was left with the feeling that it could have been so much more.
