Slaughter Creek (2013)
Unwatchable
I made it about half-way through this DVD and had to quit.
The most glaring issue is the sound, or lack thereof. Whomever supervised the sound transfer should never be allowed near a movie again. Most of the time the voices, which were supposed to be normal or even loud, were as faint as whispers. I found myself repeatedly scrambling for my remote to turn the volume up or down as the scenes changed. Maybe a full home theater surround sound system would have fixed this issue, but guess what? Not everyone has one of those.
The second issue, almost as bad as the first, is the characters. Not a one of them elicits any sympathetic reaction, thus we don't care when they are in danger. Quite the opposite of sympathetic reaction is Mya, played with as little talent as possible by Aja Pollock. Mya is an on again / off again date of Matt's, who is apparently insanely jealous when he as much as talks to another woman. After Matt signs Alyssa to appear in his documentary, Mya's entire character seems to be centered around provoking Matt to say something because of her bad attitude, and then screaming "shut up" at him. The only thing that may have kept me watching until the end would be to hopefully see this character killed as violently as possible.
