A Waste Of $3

When I saw this movie at Blockbuster I was expecting an extremely intense psychological thriller and based on the cover I thought I'd be pretty scared. I have never been so wrong. This was the biggest waste of 86 minutes of my life that I will never get back. I would rather watch grass die. All of the characters were extremely annoying, we know nothing about them and they are the most horrible actors I have ever had the misfortune to witness. The filming made me look at the box wondering if it was made in the 80's, but no, they just suck. Anybody more than 10 feet from the camera didn't look like they even had eyes. The gore scenes were either not shown or incredibly unrealistic, using what looked like ketchup as blood. Ways that the killer murdered his victims was illogical, a nail gun does not have enough power to make a clean hole in your skull...?? Plus, we have absolutely no idea why he is killing all of these random irrelevant people, who scream like 5 year olds in a school play. The only reason we kept watching was to make fun of the horrible lack of plot and acting skills. The only reason most people would watch it is if they were horny teenage boys that liked the two girls flashing in the first 10 minutes and hoping it would continue. To their dismay they were sorely disappointed. Why on earth would anyone put this out on the market or bother to get it rated? Why would Lionsgate or Blockbuster spend their money on this crap excuse for a movie? Needless to say, this was the worst movie I have ever seen, and it basically SUCKED. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
