Just when you thought there was no original take on the slasher genre, along comes 'Break' to completely confirm your suspicions. Let's check out the Slasher Index Checklist-Kit of Observations, or SICKO for short. Four nubile chicks: Brave chick, annoying chick, resourceful chick, relationship-issue chick (Check). Remote wilderness region (check). No phone contact (check). Creepy mutant-like red necks introduced early (check).
Ok, on with the show.... You need to watch the movie now.. I'll wait.... Thanks for watching. What did you think? Did you like the boring 7 minute prelude where the relationship 'break' is established? No? I didn't either. Confession: I fast-forwarded this scene. Did you like the driving-to-Canada scenes (actually Somewhere in Chermany)? No? I didn't either. Confession: I made a cup of tea during this part. Did you enjoy the walking-through-the-Black Forest scenes? Yeah, they were ok. Did you like the black chick constantly photographing everything? Yeah, it got annoying pretty fast, huh? But, you get the notion the camera will be important later. Did you like the finding-the steel-trap scene? Nice foreshadowing, huh? Did you get a Deliverance vibe from this flick? No? Go and watch Deliverance immediately..... It's good isn't it? Squueeal Piggie! Finally, did you enjoy the black chick saying 'you have a secret as-admirer'? OK, English is not her 1st language, but I admire a director who keeps flubbed lines IN the final movie.
Like night following day, or like a German horror film being derivative, things then follow the time-honoured slasher narrative. Swimming in undies scenes, things-that-go-bump-in-the-night scenes, Meet the Mutant scenes, run from the Mutants etc. I won't spoil it (in case you really have not watched the fillum). I will just say I especially enjoyed the women's heroic nod to the Slasher trope of NEVER EVER picking up dropped knives and guns that could later be USED by the Killer.
Conclusion: On the Deliverance Redneck Exploitation Knock-off (DREK) scale, I give this movie a 4.
