I was really looking forward to this.

After seeing posts from multiple horror websites talking about this movie I was really looking forward to watching this movie. I haven't signed into IMDb in a long time but I had to so that I could warn everyone of the atrocity that is this movie. Terrible acting. Not in a good way. Just bad. Not even worth watching for free. I am a huge slasher fan and this doesn't even seem like anything but a generic version of a soap opera. Dee Wallace is fine but even she could not save this film. I'm 20 minutes in and there is no way I can believe I purchased this digital film. I should have known it was going to be terrible since I paid only $10 for it. Even that is too much though. This movie is so bad and I really wanted it to be good.

Not great, but some fun moments

Look guys, it's a low-budget slasher movie. If you are in the mood, its worth a watch. If you are looking for an amazing thriller, or even a decent plot, look elsewhere.

I enjoyed the cameo parts. Celine (Dee Wallace), didn't have a huge role, but was totally fine. The Justin character (Jack Rain) made for some laughs and had some potential. Like people wrote in other reviews, I really liked two of the smaller role actors. Jenn (Stephanie Troyak) was fantastic, I just wish there was more of her!

I think my 3 star rating is accurate. If you are sitting with some friends who want to see random gushes of blood (and let's admit it, sometimes we do) then watch it. Just keep expectation low and intoxication levels high and you'll have fun.

Wow, this was bad

The 10 star reviews are clearly by people who made the movie or who were paid to rate it. This movie was bad. The acting was atrocious, the storyline the same. The movie being 80 minutes should've been a red flag I guess, but I wanted to believe it would be good.

From the opening scene I could tell it was low budget, but I didn't realize how bad it would be, especially considering Dee Wallace was in it. The acting was bad, the character development was bad, the story is bad. They probably spent most of the budget on Dee Wallace, because that's the only reason I watched the movie, so I guess it paid off. Joke's on me I guess.

The killer is downright vicious. Smooth kills with swagger. The DP had some amazing and fresh shots. The music and composition were spot on and well arranged. I instantly fell in love with Helen. Like most of my relationships that ended quick and inside a bodybag. All the actors well believable and talented. It was an intriguing story with a satisfied ending. Well directed with no major flaws. I've watched it twice already. A sequel is needed... like yesterday. I give it eight shivers and two mouth-covers to rate it a perfect ten. The locations were well thought out and added to the fright factor. The effects were old school and quite effective. This has a serious run at becoming a dominate franchise.

Gore to the core !

All I'm saying is wait for the ending. You will definitely want to , the beginning drags for a few ,but it is all straight build up.. The movie got directly to the point. Each sister has their own unique personality. This is definitely something realistic and could happen in real life. I was actually pretty moved by the fact that we had some characters that acted in pretty big rolls and other films do this movie. The sequel will be something we are definitely looking forward to and hoping it will be filmed soon ! The soundtrack was definitely amazing and worked well with the killer himself. Let's go !

Worth the watch- room for improvement

Had been itching for a good horror and this did deliver! Unfortunately the leads are not good actors and thats the main disappointment. The supporting actors were so good some scenes looked like they were from a different movie, in a good way, thank god for them, Trey, Stephanie. If they would have used them as the leads, would have been a different movie. Dee Wallace wasn't used enough either, missed opportunity. Music was great and kill scenes. Sometimes it seemed over the top but only because of the over the top acting, the soundtrack was actually bomb af. With a little better editing and getting the right actors this had the potential to be a knockout! Still really enjoyed it!

Amazing Movie!! SMACKED gives it two thumbs up 👍!

Love the cast and all the supporting actors, movie was amazing definitely need to rewatch it on Halloween! Love how they filmed the whole movie, the director sure hit a home run with this horror film! I can't wait for the sequel to come out definitely will be looking for it in the near future. Meeko was an amazing cop, still had the Bronx swag with a little comedy. You will never guess who the killer is and always will be in suspense, something that I most liked about it. The scenery and photography was on point with breathtaking views of California. This movie had everything from comedy to fright.

Scary

[luluactress · 8/10 · 9 October 2023]

It had it's part of scary moments. At first it's confusing, but after watching it all it made sense. It has some comedic parts & some scary ones. I enjoyed it. The ending is something you never expected which made it worth watching. You will be intrigued to figure out who's the killer. It does drag in the beginning of the movie, but afterwards you will get into it. I can be bias because I know one actor in the movie, but that is not the reason of my review. Like I mentioned the big twist is at the end of the movie, something that you didn't expect. Just give it a chance. There director did an amazing job.
