I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but since this movie was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be really lame. Seriously, pretty much nothing worked with this movie. I mean, the story was boring and barely made sense, it was poorly directed and the performances were all weak. Concerning the story, what the hell was with this introduction? Indeed, you get to see Wes Bentley grooming some very young girl to become a killer but you never get the opportunity to learn what the deal was with this man and this girl. Then, they decide to kill a group of young psychopaths but it was the same thing. How did he find them? What did they have to do with his vengeance plan? It was all seriously idiotic and just completely random. Concerning the directing, I can imagine that they had a limited budget but the whole thing looked so cheap and unconvincing. Finally, concerning the acting, even though I have a weak spot for Abigail Breslin, her deep blue eyes were one of the very few redeeming features in this movie, she wasn’t convinving at all. I mean, she was actually an interesting choice to play this character but, to make it work, she should have had at least 6 months or even 1 full year of intense fighting training. Obviously, it didn’t happen here and, as a result, she honestly looked rather pathetic and there was no way in real life that she would beat any of these guys. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was a big waste of time and you should probably avoid it.

Initial Thought: I guess I was pulled in by the familiar faces and an interesting concept. I do wish the twist was revealed in the movie and not the trailer though. Anyways I am watching this due to my curious bone.
Characters/Acting: It has an interesting selection of young Hollywood with Wes Bentley added into the mix. I really couldn't take Abigail Breslin seriously in her role here. It just seemed way too fabricated. I think it would have been perfect had her background not been spoiled in the trailer as well as the first half of the movie. I really didn't like Logan Huffman's character. He was just so annoying and way to cartoonish rather than creepy. The other three I think did a fair job.
Story: A pack of teenage boys choose the wrong girl to be the victim of their 'initiation'. I wish it didn't start the way it does. They really didn't care for making this have a cool twist. What's with all the bright lights shining in the woods? After the first death everything else just kind of sucked. I even predicted the exact order of who would die. That ending was just plain stupid!
Directing/Writing: I have never heard of Tyler Shields before this. He doesn't have much of a credit list either. It took three people to create the story and one to make the screenplay. All of whom I have never heard of. Only the screenwriter has another credit and it's one I haven't heard of. The writing here kind of sucks.
Final Thought: I was really hoping there would actually some kind of horror aspect here. It was an underwhelming disappointment. It's predictable and just plain boring. The only thing of positive note is the fairly decent acting. Everything else here was just dreadful. Do not even waste your time on this crap.
