Review done by: Michelle Fatale
Starring: Ashley Schneider, Jovan Meredith, Cory Assink, Lindsay Gareth
Directed by: Jeff C. Smith
Story: A group of high school kids are getting together to hold a séance in
a haunted house off the old highway. All the typical 80s horror movie
characters are there: the cool hero, the innocent girlfriend, the goth chick,
the tough guy, the beautiful blonde girl, the shy guy in love with the
beautiful blonde girl, a couple of lipstick lesbians and two big geeks.
Review:
It’s the 1980’s and the teenagers are ready to party it up in a scary old
house that is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Murder McGee. After
mistakenly conjuring the dead through an unfinished conversation on an
Ouija board, the kids are forced to fight to the death battling a vengeful
ghost who possesses and kills all of their friends one by one. Sound
familiar? It’s supposed to. It’s clearly marketed to pay homage to the
classic 80’s slashers with the tagline: "Excessive violence. Gratuitous
nudity. Zero budget." I was completely excited when I got to review this
flick because I LOVE slasher films. I love watching young people do stupid
things like have sex, get murdered, then watch it all done again with
another catchy title and different cast and crew.
Can’t get enough; It’s pure entertainment! I enjoyed the humor and the
way it poked fun at all the horror cliché’s, but at the same time embraced
what was fun about movies from this time. There is something you get
with this movie you never got with the old 80’s slasher films though: good
acting. The entire cast was very talented and you don’t see that very much
in any low budget flicks, recent or otherwise. There was a lot of chemistry
between the characters. I was very entertained throughout the entire film,
and I am fully convinced the writer/director and cast will go a long way in
their separate careers. The script was very well written, and the dialogue
flowed naturally.
The effects were a bit amateur and the scenes were not lit well, but the fact
that this movie admits on its cover there was practically NO BUDGET, I
already know this going in. This film makes it simple to politely ignore its
faults and just sit back and enjoy. Although this is not an Oscar award
winning opus, it never claims to be, and props to that. I’ll tell you, I got
this screener last week and have watched it three times already. It’s a lot of
fun. If you like slashers, you’ll really appreciate this film. If you like blood
and boobies, you’ll appreciate it also.
