I'm not going to spoil this film with my review, or cover the information already explained on the movie's page. There is gore, but nothing to keep up with what typical gorehounds (myself included) would be satisfied with. The gore and kills are very akin to the 80's slasher flicks on their first installments, before they became franchises notorious for gratuitous dismemberment and disturbing brutality (which is why we all loved them). This film has good (intentionally bad/b) acting and a very quirky vibe to it. It's not a 'bad' movie, but maybe I went into it a little too smart. The concept of the narrative follows a 'recap' situation. Every time some dialogue happens, there's a recap where someone explains something from earlier in the narrative. The only problem with this is, if you pay attention, they're just re-using footage you've seen from before and playing through the entire scene again. About 30 minutes of this movie, maybe more, are re-played scenes. It makes an hour and a half feel like two and a half hours for me. I started skipping the scenes, knowing it would be the same exact dialogues and camera angles. There's one scene that I think plays over four times in this movie, alone. If they had chosen different angles and re-shot the footage with more elaboration or details that we didn't already know, I would have given this a higher rating, but still expected more brutality, given that it's a throwback to the exploitation buzz of the 80's horror. It isn't a waste of time, but given how many horror films I've seen, it wasn't refreshing in my opinion. I still would check out anything the director works on, going forward.
I saw this movie and read a couple reviews on it and decided to take the plunge and watch it.......I am really glad I did. This is one of those movies that usually passes under the radar and not many people hear about it until one of your friends tells you about it. Just about every thing in this movie screamed "B Movie" material, but it was handled very well and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The camera work is nice, and there is some special effects thrown in here and there when needed. It had the same feel as one of the original Evil Dead movies plus a little Grindhouse thrown into the mix as well. There are a couple surprises in the writing, but these are what makes this take on slasher and gore a little different then other movies. If you like slasher movies, gore and above all enjoy B Movies like I do then you need to see this one. I loved the twist to the ending, didn't see that coming!
This was a really clever film i think, and not like anything i´ve ever seen before.
Cool story, and the way it was produced really had me enjoying it.
Hope to see more from this director

A nice spin on the horror franchise that has had it's run of the same slasher films. Very predicable but worth the B horror scene watch.
Waaait! I don't mean as good as Scream!
But! This one follows the rules of horror, it acknowledges them, it plays by them and also delivers! You see, it has a premise kinda similar to Scream, best and closest movie to do so that I've seen, even tho Cabin in the Woods managed a wonderful approach to this self aware genre, I think YMBtK is even more faithful. It pays homage to plenty of other horrors before it and even one that is my personal favorite but I am not going to ruin it for you guys, yet I am going to point it out just a little and see how many of you get it: When Hanging From A Tree! (soundtrack alone!)
Moving on: Nice acting, great actor picks, very comedically humorous dialogue as Michael Scott might say, and a lovely execution. All in all a MUST see to any horror fans out there, of course, bare in mind this more of a black comedy than pure horror. The death kills are ok, the usual slasher blunt force trauma or plain ol' stabs wrapped around a little mystery.
I didn't have this much fun since Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon .
Cheers!
