   A
                            couple named Lance (Ray Schwetz) and Sara
                            (Tina Krause) are mysteriously invited to
                            a lavish dinner party where five other
                            strangers are invited too by an unseen
                            host who is supposedly going to greet
                            them after dinner time but instead the
                            host is in a private room watching them
                            with surveillance camera's. The meet a French maid named Gabrielle
                            (Darian Caine) who doesn't speak english
                            and seems to be an attention grabber for
                            the guests.
 During the middle of dinner time
                            Gabrielle takes a shower and is brutally
                            slayed by a killer wearing black who
                            apparently killed a guest that was
                            supposed to have arrived there earlier.
                            Meanwhile an eccentric Doctor Mark
                            Reibolt (Joseph Zaso) while peeking at
                            her taking a shower in another bathroom
                            through a peephole accidentally kills his
                            wife Rebecca (Lynn Macri) by making out
                            with her afterwards. He then hides her
                            body in the bathroom shower but when her
                            body was found Mark becomes a suspect.
 Soon, the guests realised that their cars
                            won't work while trying to escape in
                            order that they stay put at the mansion.
 Soon, the guests are all driven to lust,
                            murder and madness.
 While these guests try to survive from
                            whoever is trying to get them, they are
                            being slaughtered one by one by the
                            killer and it seems that the food that's
                            served isn't what they think it is.
 
   There's a very trashy 
                            introduction to the film with the killer
                            attacking the first victim  as there were interesting
                            camera shots on the killer but at the same time the moments with the attacks and everything else looked terribly bland to watch and seriously needed more inspiration plus it took place in the daylight as night time is always better for a killer to attack someone in a horror flick.Then we have moments with people entering the mansion as the butler William greeting them as it was written to be mysterious as to why they're brought there but it doesn't do the trick due to two things, bad production quality and poor performances by all that were involved.
 There is a neat brief moment when the main character Sara  stares at a picture and then
                            sees a hallucination of a man   as she thinks she's
                            hallucinating and that piece was well
                            done.
 Then we have a camera panning around the food which is supposed to leave a sickening feeling that it's not your everyday meat and almost does the trick but this looks too obvious at the same time as well.
 A lame moment with Gabrielle taking off her clothes to take a shower which was overly long as well as her taking a shower and then Dr. Mark Reibolt looking through a peephole and getting his jollies as this looked incredibly lame to watch and seriously needed more going for this scene. Then we have his wife coming in and catching him in the act as their dispute looked incredibly annoying to watch as well as him trying to get it on with her as this also looked stupid and boring to watch as well. Plus during this moment there's the killer slaying Gabrielle away with a small hand blade as a better weapon could've been used and a lame slashing moment. But yet nice camera shots on this.
 There's great timing with the mysterious
                            host watching everyone through his
                            surveillance camera as it makes the film
                            truly mysterious as these two scene's mentioned were one of the only moments worth watching.
 There's also a funny moment when the
                            people freak out by seeing a decapitated
                            head fall out of a fridge and they boot
                            it around which was done well too. Yet we have a gruesome moment with someone firing his rife at someone else in which the effects looked terribly fake.
 A nice shot of the killer
                            placing a pillow on the supporting character William's  face and then stabbing him through the
                            pillow.
 We have a nice fighting scene between Lance  and the killer but the
                            picture is very dark.
 There's a nice scene with Sara and Hunter  when they
                            search around the mansion in the dark
                            with flashlights as well as when they
                            explore a cellar of the mansion and a
                            camera is watching them.
                            This saves the film from bombing while watching all of this happening. Yet, the camera isn't focused too well during
                            many scenes which wrecks the film a bit.
 Also a good moment with Lance outside having a smoke and then the killer facing him as well as the showdown between the two of them as this works in greatly as it was about time the makers did something right for a change.
 Also the confrontation between Sara and the host wasn't too shabbily done since the surroundings looked fairly good to watch and the insanity going on.
 Bottom line is that this  film is made on a
                            terrible budget but indie films are tough
                            when it comes to money and the picture
                            quality is a little dark but not as dark
                            as alot of underground films I've watched
                            that makes it to those Bad Taste
                              Cinema or Sleazy Slasher DVDs. The audio is terrible as you have a hard time hearing on what the people are saying in this flick. This film tries to be original as
                            possible using the right horror chemistry
                            with lots of comedy too but it doesn't
                            quite make it. It gets a bit better towards the end but overall a bad movie to be blunt on things.
 
 The acting is
                            terrible but however Scream/Moan queen Tina Krause (Sara) does
                            fine though as she has alot of energy in
                            it. Also does well with her conversations bringing it to life a little bit. She does a nice job with her split personality too but at times it's a little too much. Seemed to show off great crazy expressions though and the energy seems dead on too. She was one of the best in the cast but that's not saying a heck of alot compared to the rest since they didn't pull their weight too well. Ray
                              Schwetz (Lance) seems to do okay as her
                            husband with his seriousness but he is too stiff with his lines at the same time and seemed to try hard by getting into character but was just mediocre with what he had to deliver here. Not everyone was cut out for the acting biz unfortunately.
 Devon Mikolas (Hunter) seemed almost like a walk on role as he didn't have anyt lines in the very beginning but latrer on became the key role since he almost survived through the massacre's. Man he was over the top terrible and just doesn't know on how to create his role at all. He needed acting lessons big time especially whenever he freaks out or acts anxious. It was laughable but in a bad way. Good thing he chose his career as a filmmaker later on in life as he's better by doing that.
 Scream
                            king Joe Zaso (Dr. Mark Reibolt) plays very goofy
                              with his role and seems to do a fine job in most of the shows that I've seen him in but was rusty in his role with this one and can't seem to adjust to his role. He was not at all believeable with his aggressions or acting nuts nor was he believeable as a possible suspect in the film. It was a little humiliating by seeing him play this part.
 Sarah K. Lippman (Anna) is the best out of the cast and does well
                              witty as an insecure yet at times
                              arrogant guest. She was sharp within her speaking and great motives. Showed great energy with her attitude as well as her aggressions by all that she did here. Plus had the right looks and comes off greatly onto the camera as well. Is a worthy character actress and can move on to better stuff.
 Willie Hill (William) is the butler in this flick and offers his seriousness but yet is wooden like most of the other cast members here and needed some inspiration while doing all of this. He needed more energy and enthusiasm into all that he did here. He wasn't over the top terrible like most of the cast mentioned but needed some improvements.
 Frank Gagliardotto (Leo) must be the worst out of the cast as he was portraying an outspoken goofball and seemed to show very little effort into all that he did here. He was sloppy with his performance and found that he made a complete fool out of himself. Ho hum!
 Lynn Macri (Rebecca Reibolt) was the second worst out of the whole cast in which she was over the top annoying with her aggressions and nagging attitude. Was way too over the top with all that she did here. She really didn't know anything to tone her role down with her arrogance and was silly within all that she did here and not in a comedic way as she was supposed to have been. Another one making a fool out of themselves.
 
 Scream/Moan queen Darian
                            Caine is fully naked top to bottom
                            while taking a shower as her role is very
                            similar to her shower scene in Nikos
                              the Impaler. 
 A woman's head is
                            decapitated but it looks very fakeA sexy woman in a shower is being cut by
                            a razor and other gruesome moments like
                            that.
 A guy's head is blown off (Another phony
                            effect but blood splurts out)
 Theres a gruesome bloody slit wrist
 A man's face is bloodied and he spits out
                            blood
 
 The music was composed by Function
                            Zero who did the same for Zaso's other horror flicks like Nikos
                              the Impaler and Machines
                                of Love and Hate. They seem to try and make creepy violin
                            music on a synthesizer but it becomes
                            very annoying such as throughout most of the story in which was terribly amateurish as I was getting a headache. But other times it sounds
                            fairly passable like the final confrontation on who is revealed behind the madness with the wavy synthesizer sounds as this was catchy.  
 William: You used to date a guy???Anna: Yes doofus, I do
                            date men believe it or not. I just don't
                            happen to be interested in you. You are a
                            hound. I can't believe you outomatically
                            think I'm a lesbian because I don't shove
                            my tits in your face.
 William: You mean you're
                            not???
 Hunter: What if you run into the KILLER!? Or
                            KILLERS?!Lance: I'll be
                            persuasive. That's why I got this (Holds
                              a rifle in his hands)
 Hunter (Enters
                            the house after Sara unlocks the door):
                            What in the hell did you do that for?!Sara: I was on my way
                            upstairs, I didn't hear you. Sorry
                            jerk!!!
 Hunter: Oh, I'm sorry. I
                            was slightly terrified!!!!
 Sara: Asshole!!!
