User Reviews

No real sense of fear

I almost paid to see this at the theater. After renting it last night I'm glad I went with the latter.

After a bank robbery doesn't go quite as planned, some thieves end up at the hideaway where they were to divide the cash. Only problem is, the hideaway is very close to a slaughterhouse where a sadistic killer lurks. Not only are the criminals in danger, but also a couple of innocent bystanders being held captive.

While watching this movie you might see things that remind you of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th Part 2 while it sounds a little like Halloween at times.

If this movie ever makes it way to cable then you might want to check it out, but I wouldn't recommend buying it.
