This had the potential to be absolutely excellent, the characters are great and the story really keeps you hooked. The relationships between characters are explosive and your letting wanting to watch another.

Loved the gore and cut throat atmosphere that adds a layer of danger throughout.

I think someone was given way too much artistic license with this, there were lots of concentration face cuts, scenes taking through glass, underwater, starting the episode with the end scene etc etc. When that may not have been needed.

One scene was filmed in golden hour or supposedly. The sky was blue but to romanticize the burying of the body the actors/actress were bathed in golden light that, shadows were all wrong and didnt match the lighting.

There were several continuity errors, I dont particularly look out for them but these were quite big.

The reveal if the "whodunnit" could have been orchestrated better and the overall events could have been more intricate. Especially as the death involved several different methods/equipment there was potential that several of the cast could have been involved.

Excellent visual effects, keen sense of horror history, solid acting. (0 more)
Very little in the way of innovation or covering new ground. (0 more)
A fun way to spend 2 hours.
Overall it’s a solid horror film. Not a game changer in the artistic sense, but it’s high box office grosses will open the door for more big-budget R-rated horror, so for that alone it get so a six. Extra point for never losing my attention. I had a good time overall. Not blown away, but not disappointed. Exactly what I expected.

Artistic Slasher
A very stylish Slasher film that is very different to the norm. I'm not sure if this was a remake of the old Slasher film or not? What makes this stand out is a great performance from Elijah Wood. It's also quite shocking rather than a tongue in cheek horror as most Slasher films fall into. Also the fact the view point of the majority of the film is through the eyes of the killer. Something better and varied to most horror films.
