A select number of people at a New Year's Eve party receive a text message that instructs them to a private party on the 27th floor. Each person goes and meets the others as they are sent on a game that quickly becomes deadly. The characters have been hand selected by a slasher in a mask who is stalking the building and floor. This doesn't stop the characters from going out on their own which usually results in them being picked off by the killer. This modern day slasher film has a few interesting plot twists to keep you guessing and interested, such as why has this group been selected to be slaughtered? The production is professional and the action moves at a good pace. This could have easily turned into a "Saw" clone but it chooses to center on who is behind the elaborate scheme keeping to its slasher roots. None of the death sequences stand out over the other, but the movie does keep your interest. Certainly slasher film fans will have the most fun here. The movies biggest flaw, and it's a common one, is that most of the characters are so obnoxious you want to see them die. This isn't the first slasher film to suffer from this and it won't be the last.
