Axeman -
I really don't want to write a review on this one because in short the movie is crap or that other word that begins with "s" but people should be warned. Somehow this movie according to wiki had a limited theatrical release and a movie as good as Triangle didn't get released in theaters here.
I did read some reviews before watching this movie. Some were calling it an 80s type of slasher. Or that it was in that style. There are only four reviews on IMDB, only one of which is real. The other three have to be from friends of the production. I saw Brinke Stevens in the credits, I think she was a Vampirella model at one time. Also Tiffany Shepis had a small part in the Night of the Demons remake. She was funny in that. But this movie pulls the sort of stunt I thought only relegated to Syfy movies. Namely list known actors and have them disappear or barely be in the movie. I noticed in the IMDB that the guy who directed it also wrote and acts in the movie. Why not give it a try? How wrong I was.
The opening scene is pretty much pointless. The movie is basically people who I'm surprised are even friends and that you don't like are going to a cabin in the woods to get killed. It feels very much like what a horror porn movie would be like. As soon as they get to the cabin almost everyone starts making out. Only the actresses who play lesbians put in somewhat of a good performance in this mess. The guy who plays the killer seems to enjoy not just killing but playing the role of the killer if that makes sense. Like I'm in a movie playing a killer look at me! I don't even know why the guy was killing people. There is the usual story at night but it all feels and looks very cheap.
And get this, the director put himself in the movie as the token black guy without a girl. Yes he wrote himself as the same type of character as in the recent Friday the 13th remake complete with the geek friend who is a fat guy in this movie and not Asian. At one point he becomes kind of a peeping tom type looking at a drunk girl alone in the woods. This is his dream girl and the twist is that he finally gets her kind of. Although something really disgusting happens with throw up. It's all really bad. I guess you could commend the guy for the dialog as it has some of the crudest lines I've ever heard.
I watched this movie over two days. A TV test screen stopped the first segment, I probably should have stopped after the opening scene or not finished it at all.
