I thought there could have been a chance with this movie based on it's interesting premise, it's an intriguing idea but this is an example of what not to do.
I'll start off on a good note. For all the problems with this movie, they got a few things right. The movie actually starts off good, we're introduced to the characters in an engaging way and once we get to the town, the commanded do a nice job of raisng the tension and atmosphere. When they first get to the town and explore it a bit it's undeniably creepy. The whole setting is just oozing with atmosphere and creepiness. Then nightfall begins and that's when things go downhill.
We're introduced to a couple who joins the gang to go on the ToureTte way these characters are introduced you know they're going to die so when nightfall comes you start playing the guess who dies first game which is never a good thing. Most of the characters come off as annoying and I didn't particularly cared what happened to them. It doesn't help that these people do the dumbest things so I cared for them even less, and they deserve to die for being as stupid they were. Of course it's not the actors fault, it's the screenwriters. Who in their right mind would think "oh there's a dark room with a trail of blood lets go investigate!" No, no one with a brain would be dumb enough to do something like that.
The acting in this movie isn't really all that great. The performances are passable. The roles do not require much except running around crying, screaming and acting stupid. The so called monsters hunting the groups are just mutated people who are zombies I guess, I don't know what to call them exactly. Whatever they are, they're not scary and are pretty much the least imaginative things. Though I will say there were moments in the middle of the movie, before these things are revealed that were creepy. At some points the characters would run but didn't know where they were going and they would hear screams in the distance and they couldn't tell which direction it was coming from. Those parts did have me shaking a bit. Had the film makers not revealed the monsters and kind of stuck with these scenes then it would have elevated the proceedings considerably and this could have been a truely terrifying movie. The ending is what really kills this movie, it is so abrupt and stupid that it made me forget everything that was good about this movie.
Overall, an intriguing premise with a good start but then dissolves into your standard horror movie with a terrible ending. This movie had potential but blew it. If you love horror movies stay away unless you are dying to see this, then by all means go ahead.
