Trivia

When Imani lists other counselors dead or missing ("We found Bob and Carol's bodies in the kitchen, Ted and Alice are missing..."), it's a sly reference to Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969).

Surprisingly impressed

Bottom line: This is your standard slasher film done in a different way.

By nature syfy channel original movies are pretty crap, because they're done cheaply and seemingly written by 12 year olds, but this one pleasantly surprised me. Granted, I had low expectations, but whereas most syfy originals I either turn off halfway through or fall asleep to, this one I stayed till the very end. I even went so far as to recommend it to friends. Imagine that! There's a fine line between doing a funny horror movie and doing a cheesy horror movie, and this one tread that line very well. If you're looking for an actual scary movie, this isn't it. But if you're in the mood for something fun and different, this one is a must watch.
