loomis78-815-989034 Faith (Shiels) has gone into hiding due to an obsessive and abusive boyfriend (Daniels). She meets a Farm girl named Lola (Holt) in a club and takes her offer to stay with her on the family farm over the summer. Lola's creepy father (Sterne) Seems to be slaughtering things in one of the farms as Lola reveals her slutty side to Faith picking up guys at the bar and taking them home. Problem is that there is no sign of them in the morning. Lola was sexually abused by Dad while growing up and the two girls bond through the common ground of being damaged. A few late movie twists in the plot show Lola as quite unstable and dangerous as the truth is revealed all the way up to a controversial ending. This movie starts off on the wrong foot in its first scene by showing something that happens much later and giving away its impact. The developing friendship between Faith and Lola are handled well by leads Holt and Shiels and is the movies strongest attribute. There are a few hints at horror early on but it doesn't get nasty until towards the end. In many ways it plays like a thriller until it gets a bit gory in the climax. Writer/Director Stewart Hopewell keeps the story between the girls interesting enough to watch but that's about it. The horror borders on torture porn towards the end and the film manages a little suspense but no real scares.
ZombieSteak .com Based on the title of this film I went into this thinking I was heading for a ride of blood and gore instead I ended up watching what would be my perfect chick flick.This isn't a fast paced movie by far, the first hour really only focuses on the relationship of the two girls and slowly, but interesting you learn about their heart wrenching pasts. The two girls spend their days giggling, having fun and going out at night to party while you start to feel yourself get pulled into the story.Before all the chickness gets to be too much the movie does a turn around and then starts the cringing moments that all us horror lovers love so much. There are some pretty nasty scenes which make up for the lack of gore all of which whirlwinds to a shocking end. This was a great flick.ZombieSteak.com - Discover a new world of horror films, designed just for you.
ChrisMichael81 First of all this movie is not a horror movie. Second of all I understand that this was a low budget film. But just because it is low budget does not mean the actors have to be beyond terrible and the writing can be this bad. Third and this is the most important advice you really need to follow. The score of a film is meant to create and enhance the flow of the images and dialogue on the screen. Using it to create tension in a horror movie works really well. Instead you choose to play one crappy obscure emo rock song after another. I got the feeling that this entire film was made to show us someones terrible choice in musical taste's. Lastly I implore you to go and watch some good horror films that had less of a budget than your film, trust me there are many and how they made film into art. Not blow money on mindless trash.
overkillxx 1 1/2 hours of absolute dribble before one of the worst most depressing endings possible. The director deserves to be castrated for this utter crap of an excuse of a horror movie that isn't even what I would call a horror except for the plot which truly was horrific. If you truly hate someone I would recommend this movie to them for the thorough enjoyment in knowing that you will waist 1 1/2 hours of there life & they will hate you back without doubt.. In addition to the awful ending someone should tell the morons that wrote and directed this that a double barrel shotgun only holds 2 shots not 3!!Avoid this movie at all costs, I literally feel nauseous after watching it and nearly pulled my hair out at the end in disbelief and anger. I cant say enough bad things about it to make myself feel better, hopefully the director, actors and all associated with it never work again!!
