(Reviewed by Preppy) - Terrible but not the worst. Mac
(James O'Shea) the lead singer of a band called Slash finds out his aunt has
died. She lived in a remote farmhouse in the middle of nowhere with her
husband Jeremiah (Steve Railsback) and farm hand Billy Bob (Nick Boraine).
The whole band goes to attend the funeral. While there Mac starts having
flashbacks to a traumatic childhood incident and someone is killing people
off...one by one with a scythe....
Sounds dull...and it is. The writing is lousy! The script contains some
truly idiotic moments. Why does the entire band attend a funeral for someone
they don't even know? When two people are trapped in a barn they (VERY
stupidly) chose to hide in a dead end cellar other than running outside!
Also I found it a bit questionable that the one black member of the band
brings a semi-automatic gun (WHY?????) and is one of the first killed. Also
two band members who seem to be gay (they are shown sleeping together) are
also killed. Everyone else stays alive. That's another thing--this is a
HORROR film. There are next to no deaths! I counted FOUR--and there's next
to no blood or gore too. Horrible ending too.
As for the acting....there are two OK performances--Railsback as Jeremiah
and Boraine as Billy Bob. They're nothing spectacular but they're better
than everybody else. Everybody else SUCKS! This is truly horrible
acting...I've rarely seen worse. The worst is O'Shea (naturally he's the
lead). He is handsome with a great chest and 6 pack abs (which we're shown
quite a bit)...but his face never changes expression. He has the same blank
look all through the film. Just terrible.
On the plus side--it's filmed in washed-out color (which actually helps the
movie) and there's some OK music.
So I'm giving it a 2/10...primarily for Railsback, Boraine and O'Shea's
body. Still, that's not enough to recommend this crap.
Surprisingly this was filmed in South Africa!!!! |
