So I stumbled upon this movie cuz someone suggested a movie with the same name & I clicked on the wrong one. At first I was mad cuz in the first few minutes I could see it was not going to be good. Mediocre at best (being generous too). BUT......here's the deal:
Co-writer/director was 14. That makes this impressive! Yes it's bad by any "B" standards-the acting-the kills-the gore etc. the story, although not really bad-it's all over the place and mostly unoriginal. Revenge horror/twist'ish ending.
I was gonna rake this over the coals at first but I stayed with it & researched the director etc. low budget but impressively well done for an est $30k. I've seen extremely worse with higher budgets. So kudos!!
Horror genre needs more female directors & I'm hoping this young lady continues. I would expect great things to come from her!!
So spend an hour & 15 minutes-and if you gotta rent it-spend a few bucks. And as you watch it-try to think of what you were doing at 14 lol

Made it 2 minutes into the movie and I had to turn it off. The acting was atrocious. Reminded me of a straight to VHS kids movie from the 90s. I feel like the kids were picked up randomly on the side of the road and given $20 to memorize some lines. I'm upset, because I was pretty excited about this when I saw it on Tubi. Stay far away. It's incredibly awful. Only gave it 2 stars because it's actually funny how bad it is. I had a little chuckle.

Short and sweet typical revenge slasher clocking in just over an hour. With $30,000 and a 14 year old director I can honestly say it does pretty well for what it is considering the plethora of B to C grade Halloween-based slashers/films.
The kills aren't exactly gory, but they are pretty arterial and spread nicely throughout (2 kills by 25 mins). And with just over an hour the film doesn't overstay its welcome.
Unlikely to break new ground, but a pretty solid Halloween slasher flick. I have certainly seen worse. The killer reveal was unexpected, at least for me. Red herrings abound. Moral purity aside, it was hard to not enjoy these grown up punks getting their just deserts considering what they did some eight years ago, all for an Xbox (seriously).
6/10 for me, slight net positive (5 being default/lukewarm). It is no "Halloween" but in the plethora of Halloween-based films there are much, much worse to be found
