Storyline

In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answer. Adam "Bug" Heller (Max Thieriot) was supposed to die on the last night the Riverton Ripper wrecked havoc on that terrifying night. Unaware of terrifying crimes being committed to the seven children, he has been plagued by nightmares of their murders while not aware if they hold true or if he is simply imagining the images that haunt him. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that's returned, he must face an evil that won't rest...until it finishes the job it began the day he was born. Written by Anonymous

What's the Damn Point?
25 April 2011 | by (Australia) – See all my reviews

Let alone watching this piece of garbage I don't wanna waste too much time reviewing it either, so it's going to be a really short review guys.

After seeing the fail that Wes Craven Hills pt. 2 was, I thought that there would be no more crappy films by Wes Craven. But this piece of s**t suddenly popped up and I said wow let's give this crap a chance. Like any horror film I gave this a chance, but it got really boring after ten minutes and when the first hour approached, My laptop screen was blank.

I just can't describe how bad this horror film is. It doesn't even act like a horror film. It feels like a bloody horror parody. The only scene I liked was that classroom scene with the presentation of that bird thing, but just one little pussy scene couldn't save this film. I'm just very shocked that it was directed by Wes Craven who did those awesome classics such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, SCREAM's 1 & 4 and even the bone chilling Hills Have Eyes. What was the damn point in this film? It's not scary or anything.

The acting and story beyond fails. The characters and killer are not believable and I'm so glad I didn't watch the whole thing because IT IS a WASTE of time. I'm just glad I turned it off.

This film gets a 0.5/10. Only for that funny little classroom scene. Everything else blows! Wes, I'm disappointed.
