When I first saw the title for this film, I was a bit excited, I was also excited by the fact it was "based on a true story".I am quite jaded when it comes these sort of films and it takes a lot to impress. Not only was this film disappointing in terms of acting, but in general survival skills, research and over-all packaging.
For starters, the characters survival skills are terrible. Sometimes, characters not knowing "the rules" can be a positive in a horror film, if done correctly, it can add suspense, mystery, pant-wetting scariness. This film epically failed at this objective. However, I will say - the will to survive in the final three characters is fairly good. Until she blows her brains out.
Not only that, but these "killers" seemed to lack any kind of representation (personality, location or otherwise) of what could be a "true story", and at first, I was hoping for something along the lines of Henry, but I guess it failed at that too.
The acting is terrible and wooden and not even the killer is convincing (seriously, who can survive being stabbed a few times and being shot) nor is the ending. It's too convenient, it's almost like the writers were thinking: "Well I can't be bothered writing any more, can you?" "No, so we'll just kill every one off in really stupid death scenes"
Save your money. If you want gore and brutality, you'd be better off watching the nightly news than this tripe.
