Storyline

In a sleepy and uneventful small town, three college students, bored and desperate to make their mark, plot a savage and merciless murder. Electing to keep a video journal to memorialize their bizarre pact, they plot in secret, devising a homemade death chamber that will allow them to see, hear, feel, and linger over their intended victim's torment and final moments of life. Then, chosen at random, a fellow student becomes this victim when she is to receive perhaps the most brutal and horrifying of all fates. The default leader of this macabre trio directs the physical and psychological terror, even as contention and hostility within the group threatens to jeopardize their twisted plan, culminating in a violent and chilling conclusion.

A trip through the lifeless meadowoods

There is no reason for this movie to exist. It was slow moving and it wanted to be something like The Blair Witch Project with a serial killer, snuff film twist but when a movie like has already been done before it isn't effective or relevant anymore unless you do something strong and amazing like Cloverfield or Paranormal Activity, they simply didn't do anything new with the material. The three unbalanced individuals who are mostly at the centerpoint of this so called film got on my nerves pretty quickly and were more bratty buttheads than truly menacing, I just didn't buy it from them and the one that was the less crazy of the bunch was a coward and waited to long to be the hero in the game. I was pretty impressed with the victim and thought she was pretty believable in her part and seemed like the smartest person in this movie that falls victim to village idiots. There is nothing in this movie that is bloody just unsettling and disturbing especially the box scene which I felt claustrophobic just watching it and was pretty interesting here and there getting into some of the characters psychie but they didn't dig deep enough for us to care and the ending just plain sucked and it just didn't give me anything. Overall this was pretty flat and dull exercise in torture blah, blah, blah, blah!!!!! Not Recommended! Zero stars!!!!
