Storyline

While driving to her hometown Ovid, Colorado, to visit her sheriff brother Jeff and niece Olympia, Joan Burrows recalls her traumatic experience with best friend Susie when they were teenagers. Joan and Susie, smoking pot in a cemetery, decided to snoop on Bishop the caretaker at the funeral home. Joan falls and hurts her knee, so Bishop, having found them, invites the girls inside to clean the wound. Soon they are sedated with chloroform and submitted to a cruel torture - a sick game where Bishop tells each girl to ask him to kill the other to stop their own suffering. When a copycat killer starts killing Olympia's classmates, Joan tells police that Bishop is back (or someone who looks just like him) but nobody believes her.

Goofs

In the beginning when the newspaper clipping are flashed onscreen, only the titles are edited. The content under the titles has nothing to do with the movie. Palestine, NASDAQ and the Internet Technology Association of America are a few examples of the real topics of the article titled "Young heroin Joan Burrows grateful to be alive; sorrowful", for example.

And here's another Hostel-ripoff

I saw the 3D version of this movie in a Belgian theater last week. I did not expect anything special of this movie, but it was 3D, and the last time I experienced that, was in Eurodisney. So I thought it would be cool. Unfortunately the 3D didn't work out very well. Maybe the glasses weren't good enough. Anyway.

The movie has some cool new gore effects. Some effects that are really nasty to watch and twisted to even think of. The girls are nice to watch but unfortunately, this film is just another Hostel inspired teen movie. At the end there are some typical "no-one believes me" and "I did it because of blah blah blah". I don't know why this movie is shown in theaters. It's descent enough for straight to DVD.

To bad. This had potential
