loomis78-815-989034 An effective opening scene shows 10 year old Jenny see her sister murdered. Jump to Jenny (Brucato) in college where she is afraid to leave her dorm room. She becomes involved with Gavin (Ellington) and reluctantly agrees to a college scavenger hunt around New York City. A killer is using the game to track and kill the contestants. In what amounts to a modern slasher film, the set up and premise is a good one for a slasher film. Too bad it's 2009 and not 1980, because this movie misses every opportunity to be scary, fun and entertaining. Elizabeth Lucas directs like she is shooting a modern sitcom not a horror film. There is a little gore thrown in at the final minute but the lame acting and boring characters will make you lose your interest way before the killer can even get started.

GL84 Agreeing to participate in a scavenger-hunt game for her college, a troubled woman learns that her and her friends are being targeted by a vicious maniac who may or may not be responsible for her past and try to figure out his connection to the game to save the others.This is an incredibly bland and uninteresting slasher, if it really could be called one as this one is just a rather dull and agonizingly slow thriller masquerading as a horror film. By making the kills all pop up in the last half-hour, that forces us into the boring game for the first hour, and it's not in the slightest bit interesting to watch as this one just tends to wander around to each of the contestants not doing anything to hold our interest, as there's no unfurling mystery to be found in the clues, they just so happen to get along with the game and overall it just comes off as weak, uninteresting and even misses several prime moments of excitement (messing up a couple screwing in the woods being the prime example) before it gets to a rather lame, bland finale that's imminently predictable and not in the least bit interesting. The kills are bloodier than expected (yet don't deviate from a brandished knife as the weapon) and the central premise has some legs, but this one just isn't worth it.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

sol ***SPOILERS*** Over the top slasher flick that besides it's deep red as well as other garish color photography also skillfully juxtaposes the action in the film on a New York City Subway map much like the 1979 inner city cult classic "The Warriors".Jenny has never gotten over the brutal murder of her big sister back in North Carolina when she was 10 years old and developed a serious case of agoraphobia because of it. It's now ten years later when Jenny is now about to attend New York University she's obligated to go on a scavenger hunt with her fellow classmates as some kind of collage initiation rite. Being text-ed and e-mailed by her student instructor Tim on clues that would lead Jenny and her fellow collage classmate to the pot of gold, or free White Stripe concert tickets, at the end of the rainbow that as it turns out happens to be the Red Hook section of Brooklyn.What at first looked like a fun walk in the park or city later turned out to be fatal for almost all the students participating in this scavenger hunt. The fact is that the students who participate in this scavenger hunt will not end up winning any of its prizes but end up becoming victims of it! Victims of a deranged psycho who has it in for anyone who didn't go through the sufferings in life that he did. And to even the score he's to make sure that everyone participating in this hunt will not come out of it not only with the free White Strip concert tickets but with their lives as well!It's not until well into the movie that Jenny & Co. finally realize that their being targeted for murder by very probably the person who's giving them the clues, by cell phone text massages and photos, that leading them straight to their own murders not to the free concert tickets! The blood letting never lets up with almost all the students ending up butchered by the faceless psycho killer with Jenny for some strange reason seemingly immune to his wild and murderous rampages! That's until Det.Fox from back in North Carolina who's been hired by Jenny's parents to look after her safety uncovers who the killer is just before he adds Jenny to his long list of murder victims.

Heislegend Wow...just...wow. I don't even know where to start with this movie. It was just so, so bad. Have you even sat down and thought to yourself "I like the idea of slasher movies, but can't they make one that impossibly boring and pointless?". If you have, this is your lucky day. Then again, you also might consider professional help.Nothing about this movie stands out as good. The acting is fine, but that's about it. Stalker movies are a dime a dozen so to make yours stand out you should probably add something at least slightly original to it. Or at least make the kills cool. Or do something...ANYTHING...to keep me from nodding off during it. Alas, Red Hook does not do any of these things. The story is horribly put together and boring and there's nothing original going on. Hell, even the kills are extremely lame. Also, I know it's not the movie's fault, but why in the world does IMDb have this listed as a comedy first and a horror second? It's not really either, but definitely not a comedy. It's just plain awful.
