Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

TdSmth5 A surfer finds some cool spot in Mexico and calls his cousin Colin to come over. Colin brings two friends along one of whom is a guy called Lucky some sleazy loner loser who always carries a camera with him. His goal for this trip: to film a surf porno. Also along for the ride are Colin's prospective girlfriend Ashley and her superhot friend Rose.During the trip we learn a couple of things about the kids who make some stops in Mexico and nearly get themselves in trouble. Once they arrive, the cousin and his group are gone. Their vehicles, a car and two motorcycles left there in disarray. Rose pretty quickly starts making her moves on Colin much to the annoyance of Ashley. While the guys go surfing, Lucky goes on an expedition filming what he finds along the way. Eventually he encounters a cliff at the bottom of which are dozens of skeletons and corpses. As he flees and turns his camera he catches a glimpse of some person or creature on the horizon. He also finds the camp where Colin's cousin was. Inside a tent he sees a bloody corpse. Strange things start happening as it gets darker and Lucky disappears. The group splits up, Ashley and the other guy go to the closest town to get help and Rose and Colin stay behind to look for/wait for his cousin. At the town the two kids are told the story behind the surf spot and why the locals avoid it and why no tourists come out of there alive. There's a good background story involving the activities of a cult. Eventually the kids meet up again, although not all make it. The remaining ones will confront the attackers known locally as the Jackals.This movie is quite good considering the budget. The sound and music are first rate. The look of the movie not so much- it has a discolored look to it with red/brown being overemphasized. A bizarre choice since it's all about beach and surfing. The acting is good. All characters are believable. Surfers may be fun guys but they are not interesting. The best character is Rose though and actress Joleigh Fioreavanti /Pulsonetti absolutely steals the show. She's hot and sexy and every scene sizzles when she's in it. It's hard to care for any of the remaining characters other than Lucky. The story is good, in particular the background to our creatures/zombies. There isn't much gore or action but the little there is is filmed well. Overall a fun horror movie that's slightly above average thanks to a good production effort and a sensational performance by Joleigh.

fedor8 From the first frame the low-budget roots of this movie glare you right in the face, with the sort of photography you might find in "Blair Witch Garbage". However, the very surprising thing was the fact that the acting and dialogue were quite a bit above average for a very cheap teen horror film. Particularly Joleigh Fioreavanti stands out, but then again, I'd say that, wouldn't I, being partial to beautiful women. The build-up to the horror scenes is perhaps more fun than the action itself, although the background-story scenes relating to the cult are well done. There are some obligatory silly scenes, though not too many, like when the love-birds make out – less than an hour after seeing some of their friends torn to pieces. Just a little word of advice to the director: do not sing songs on your own movie soundtracks – ever again. What a crappy voice

jamoss11 I love horror movies and I watch a lot of them. Therefore, I've come across some really, really bad movies. This isn't one of them but it's not great either.The acting/dialog are for the most part lousy but the story itself isn't a bad one. It keeps you guessing, and therefore interested, for a while and builds the tension pretty well and the payoff is pretty good, not mind blowing or anything but good. The end is kind of disappointing and not exactly clear but it doesn't matter much at that point as the important part of the story has already been told. The direction and camera work has a very raw feel to it which helps add to the creepiness of the mood.Oh, and for the constantly boob-hungry American fans out there living in puritan-land, this one has some, and let me tell you, they're nice.

mcdougallgreg This film was a nice surprise. The pacing is decent, the acting is good, and the cinematography is on a par with that of much higher budgeted films. Plus, the use of creepy locations in Mexico adds an uneasy atmosphere.The story itself is interesting. Kind of compelling, actually. The set-up with the vacationing friends is nothing to rave about, but the story behind the cursed beach is definitely original. And for once, the kids aren't ANNOYING. Too many low budget horror films seem to think that being an ass is the only way a kid should act. Well, these kids seem fairly realistic and their antics aren't too outlandish. In fact, one antic involves a kid tricking a girl to take off her top on her condition that he doesn't video tape it. This, of course, leads to some nudity that didn't feel forced and is always welcome in a low budget horror film. Plus, the actress showing her - ahem - assets is a natural beauty, so everything is 100% real. Always a plus.This film does have some gore, but is fairly restrained as far as blood-letting is concerned. This film isn't about copious buckets of blood, either. It's about atmosphere. Gore hounds should rent a George Romero film if they want a gore fix, because they won't find it here. And, actually, that's a small quibble that I did have with it. A little more blood would've been nice to see. It really did need a few violent shock moments (think "28 Days Later"), but this didn't detract from my enjoyment of the picture.All in all, a commendable job by all involved. I can think of many other, much higher budgeted films that are far below this effort.
