What a waste of time this was. It's a really bad slasher. Kevin Bacon lured me in but you realise pretty fast that this is a pile of crap. It takes over an hour for the first kill, and all the kills are lame as fuck - none of the weirdos are murdered, it's only the "faculty" that are taken out - so disappointing! With most of the time being spent on their "issues", calling this a horror film should be liable under the Trade Descriptions Act. And some of these actors are truly hideous. I don't even know what Darwin del Fabro is. That thing can't be human. Theo Germaine isn't much better. The film is a freak show.

Fuck Jordan. That character sucks.

I actually quite liked this but it should not have ended the way it did. I would have liked it much more if it had had the balls to stick the landing. That was a serious letdown and a missed opportunity. Honestly pisses me off.

I'll go with a B I guess but I'd be much more confident in my rating with a different ending.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

You have serious fucking issues.

Also it opens with a kill scene. Sure you don't see much but it's misleading to say that it takes over an hour for the first one. It's a letdown that most are off screen though.

Over an hour between kills isn't any better. You still have to sit for the majority of the movie while the mentally sick obsess over their conditions, before there's a meaningful kill.

This was atrocious and borderline offensive. That "Fuckin' Perfect" scene is the stuff of nightmares and ultimately the whole thing is incredibly bland and boring. Hard to believe a 3-time Academy Award nominee is behind this. One of the the year's worst. D
