OK, I get why this Comedown only rated a 4.6 here at IMDb, as it is true it's a stock premise, that is, teenagers somehow exposed getting hunted down one by one in the tradition of numerous other slasher flicks. I'm giving it a 10. Comedown is a truly excellent slasher flik. The psychopath is truly creepy, and chillingly prepared for his night of slaughter, and the Director's handling of how he is introduced carefully scene by scene is a championship of editing. The murders are brilliant, each one carefully choreographed, with great shock value. Some classic horror images here. The tension is palpable. Even before the kids are in danger the delicate dynamics of their social wiles just kind of screams 'this is trouble'. It was a great way to lead in. The actors are all accomplished. The characters themselves are not easy to enjoy, but they are very authentic, helped along by a jabbing script. Then there is the grand set itself, with the lighting and texture throughout being powerful. The sense of danger is just screaming off the walls. This movie has all the heart pounding guts of a really, really outrageous dare, and I loved every minute.
