Seth_Rogue_One Now this movie although a 'scary movie' is not very scary at all (at least for me, I've seen over 700 horror movies so I suppose I don't scare easily anymore but I don't think anyone is really gonna clench to their seats with this one).But it still kept my attention somewhat throughout the running-time which is a bit of an accomplishment at least, granted the pretty faces helped a lot with that and it's also visually fairly competently done... The scenery is nice and scenes of gore and blood are good fun, even though the jump-scares are less successful.The acting is... so so at best but yeah seen a lot worse when it comes to that as well.The music is a little overbearing at times, over-dramatic and loud.The script is, again I've seen movies with worse lol, but yeah nothing to spend your last money on and probably a movie that only holds up for a one time watch.And yeah I wouldn't call it "good" but it kept my attention somewhat so it's not all bad either, in the end I can only give it about 4 or possibly 4.5/10 though.

nmn34 There is a long scene in Thai without subtitles. Most of the scares are ripped almost entirely from the trailers of better horror movies. They failed to edit out the three seconds in which they accidentally played the wrong audio track. The fake blood runs off skin like water off a peach. This is pretty much the extent of special effects in this movie. The characters are obnoxious stereotypes of the American tourist. The twist is so poorly concealed, Stevie Wonder saw it coming and decided to read a book instead. The story has all the twists and turns as a taco bell burrito to your toilet. The characters are so poorly written that any enjoyment anyone can get is turning the movie off, a pleasure that for some reason I denied myself.This movie isn't good enough for Asylum.

roscoe666 Pernicious starts off like a rather naff TVM. Three models (supposedly teachers) rent a house in Thailand and experience some weird goings on, before shrugging them off and going shopping/clubbing. This pretty much continues for a good part of the film before they can ignore it no longer.Actually the above précis makes it sound more interesting than it really is. There is no real script or acting to speak of, just by the numbers progression. I thought for a moment the film was dubbed because some parts have badly out of synch speech. After every trauma they remain immaculately presented, with not a hair out of place, and strangely unmoved by their experience.There are a few scenes of Herschell Gordon Lewis style camp ultraviolence, which although obviously fake, is the only redeeming feature of the film. However, they jar with the pedestrian pace and made-for-TV style nature of the rest of the film.Overall, although not terrible, you need to be seriously bored to bother with this one.

thuniw3 I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this sick little film. There are many, many things that make it an exceptional film, but I think the thing that makes it stand out more than anything is the fact that it combines two sub-genres of the horror movie to make it a bit more unique than all of the other movies that reside in this kind. It's a slasher, with gore such as tongue-cutting, stabbing and eye gaging as well as a creepy, jump-scare oriented film. It leaves the viewer on edge, never knowing whether or not to expect a gruesome murder scene or a spooky edge of your seat scare! I think Bressack really outdid himself with this film and shows a lot of promise as a filmmaker.
