Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Scarecrow-88 Basic mediocre slasher flick has shady Ryan and nervous wedding obsessed fiancé, Kennedy, driving with friends/acquaintances in SUV to wilderness cabin, rented after answering Craigslist ad from intense and brooding creep, Bo. Kennedy's sister, Hannah, is seen by Kennedy's gal pal, Emily, getting it from behind while hugging a tree from Ryan, realizing just how much of a mistake this marriage would be. Meanwhile Derrick, a chain-smoking, drug-dealing, no-good rotter from Ryan's past has came along, but his intentions are selfish and desperate: he needs 20 G's from Ryan and brings up past reckless behavior as a weapon to use against the upcoming marriage. Chet is the typical slasher booger with six pack abs, obnoxious frat boy self-serving sex-on-the-mind personality, always either aiming to get laid or goofing off. Emily really considers her friendship with Kennedy important and when she's told Ryan and her are moving to New York it doesn't go over well. Okay, the synopsis out of the way, this is very driven by providing a lot of plot and delivering very little in terms of exciting action. Ryan and Kennedy are doomed to fail and it's obvious from the get go. Yet the film spends an inordinate amount of time getting us to the implosion. Anyone besides naive Kennedy can see that Ryan is a prick. He's immediately spotlighted by the film as untrustworthy and scheming. That Derrick is a friend considering how much of a tool he is should tell others all they need to know. Hannah is jealous of Kennedy because daddy preferred her and purposely bangs Ryan out of spite. Emily is just waiting to spill the beans on that cruel union behind her buddy's back. Chet loves to scare the ladies or get in their pants. Bo lurks, snarls, and warns them not to party in his house...why these people decide to stay anyway is baffling. So a class act cast that start to fall prey to a killer, are taken out one at a time, and few will care. Fingers from a hand are chopped off and bodies are stabbed but the graphic violence is not shot or explicitly nauseating. This doesn't kill them as many viewers might desire considering how much time is spent with them before the killer emerges. I think the film follows closely to how slashers are, complete with red herring and unsurprising twist of who the killer really is. Because the camera drives towards a certain character but doesn't show her die, and how Bo is even shown with ax in hand, but never killing anybody, the direction of the film goes through the motions slasher fans see right through. If anyone believes that woman in the dress at the beginning is Kennedy should watch more slashers.

kosmasp Not really, but cabin in the woods is overused. Oh wait: everything shown here is overused. The soon to be husband, who might not be real marriage material, the girlfriend who has a best friend, who really is into their friendship. And so on and so on, with more stock characters. Also while it's not a bad thing, the present setting (with a bit of "mystery") with a person narrating what happened, might work for other movies, but is just another thing that doesn't work here either. Especially considering what happens at the very end ... which just happens ... for no reason at all.Anyway, there are not that many effects, though they are nicely done. Acting-wise you shouldn't expect too much. As already made clear the script is really not good either. Could've been a lot better, but as it is, a waste of time

arfdawg-1 Kennedy Jamieson, a wealthy socialite, has waited her whole life to have the perfect wedding. Engaged to the charming Ryan Harris, the young couple is just a week away from the big day but hasn't had a chance to celebrate their respective bachelor/bachelorette parties. Ryan's best man Chet books a remote cabin in the woods to throw them a 'Jack and Jill' stag that they'll never forget. Out in the middle of nowhere, things take a horrifying turn as members of the group are brutally picked off one by one. What started out as a celebration quickly descends into a bloody nightmare. Friendships are ripped apart and accusations fly in this blood filled psychological horror with a whodunit twist.OK so if I arrived at a cabin and the creepy gate keeper was a retardo I'd leave. But that's me and then there would be no movie.Then if on the porch there were a bunch of dead birds I'd leave. But then it's this movie.It's not good. Excruciatingly slow and poorly written. No real sex no real nudity no real point.Another review said the girls have big jugs. You don't see them.In the only "sex" scent the girl has ALL her clothes on. I mean ALL! She never drops her pants nor unbuckles them! How is that possible.

Peter Pluymers Sometimes one wonders why he has made the effort to start watching a particular film and how he could think it would be a pleasant time waster. "Death do us part " contains elements of a slasher film and a common mystery movie. But it contains all the worst elements. A group of young people going on stag weekend in a godforsaken place far from civilization . Of course you do that if you want to keep such a party and don't want anyone to witness the riotous festivities that will erupt there , I suppose. The cheerful couple who are going to give their consent the following week is Kennedy and Ryan. She is apparently the daughter of a wealthy family (with also a mental illness apparently), and he's some loser who has more to answer for than you may suspect . They are accompanied by the sister Hannah, a good friend Emily , Ryan's best man Chet and his cousin Derek who also has a rather dark past .The welcome committee alone would already make me turn around and return to the civilization ASAP. Bo, the owner of the bungalow, is not exactly a paragon of kindness and is quite frightening and threatening. The dead starlings on the porch , he cleans up reluctantly with a spade after he concludes in an intelligent way that they are indeed dead . A terrible way to bring humor in this film , and it gave a good idea what was to follow . What ultimately was the purpose of these dead birds , I couldn't figure out . An attempt to make it lugubrious and mysterious perhaps? We can't really talk about performances. It's more like a failure in performing. The three main female characters were probably selected based on the weight of their breasts. The higher the weight, the more important the role. After a while I was even convinced that their cup-size effortlessly defeated their IQ in numbers. Totally unconvincing , and they looked like members of a youth movement running around in the threatening woods anxious and panicky.The three male protagonists tried to be tough, except Chet who behaved throughout the film as a drunken fooler. Eventually they behaved like a bunch of sissies who are running back and forth through the woods and at every suspicious noise they react like real cowards. The moment they try to flee by car and they want to check the engine was hilarious. Eventually it becomes a "who-is-now-the-main suspect" game, where you'll be put on the wrong foot a huge amount of times. Bo is of course suspicious. The guy looks a bit like Lurch from "The Addams Family", and appears every time where you least expect it and saunters around with a dangerous looking ax. Eventually, you may expect a surprising plot and a not so surprising ending. Don't expect a real massacre. That was really a major disappointment.Conclusion: A terribly bad B-movie that doesn't look like a slasher movie at all. No suspense, no gory murder scenes and a total lack of scares.More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.com/
