The Worst Film Ever
Simply Perfect
Fresh and Exciting
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
I really liked this movie because it was based on actual events. I had seen the true story on "Primetime" a while back and immediately realized that is what this movie was about. I thought this movie was very, very accurate as to what actually happened with the couple in Nebraska in 2005. Only problem was the ending was absolutely fictional in the movie. In reality they both froze to death. All in all a good movie. I love stuff based on true events. I was a bit confused on which drugs were involved. I knew the actual drug was crystal meth. In the movie they snorted crystal meth and the guy at the party added something to their drink. It was later in the film that it was revealed that he had spiked their drink with LSD. Not sure that was the case in the actual event.
This movie sucks! The acting is a joke. The screenplay is horrible. The real-life story was unnecessarily altered by preposterous details such as the couple had been given LSD when, in fact, they had taken a ton of meth. This is one of those movies you watch to make fun of. What a waste of 2 million dollars. It could have been made so much more interesting if the writers would have stuck to the facts and not made it a "horror" film. It was like a bad lifetime drama. Do not watch unless you have an hour and a half of your time that you don't mind wasting and you know in advance what you're getting yourself into. You have been warned.
Simply put, this is ridiculously bad. The film's first 15 minutes or so caused me to divide myself. Half of me was moaning "Boo! I've seen the slasher movies all before. Well, maybe this time it'll actually be scary" and the other half is screaming "Bring on the gore!" Neither is correct. Instead, I was treated to an unbelievably terrible movie that wanted to be something it most certainly is not. It's the psychological thriller version of a when a TV show tries to recreate a Hollywood disaster ... OK, I know that barely makes any sense but neither does the movie ... or the acting ... or the fact I wasted £3 on it. Maybe I should spend longer explaining my previous statement but that would mean giving the movie more of my time and I've wasted enough buying it, watching it and now trying in vain to make sure none of you decide to make the same mistake. You have been warned!
This movie is not a slasher-horror which is what I like about it. Instead of just hacking up a bunch of teens, the filmmakers actually made a story about how bad drugs are and how scary it can be to be messed up on them.I thought the movie looked way bigger than 2MM and the acting was great. I would recommend watching this movie if you see it on TV or on DVD. It is better and more original than most movies I have seen lately.I also thought Brian McNamara from the show Army Wives was great as the sheriff and as a director. I look forward to seeing his next directorial project.
