   A young                  band heads up to the woods in order to focus on                  writing new songs. Along with them a group of                  friends party out with them which seems to be                  alot of fun but some disputes break out. Then                  suddenly they are in a terrifying nightmare with                  someone or something killing them all. 
   During the beginning of this flick                  we spot a gruesome situation on a dead body out                  in the woods with some killers doing sick things                  which is supposed to open up for a horror flick                  but then we spot a bunch of people in a vehicle                  on their way to a campfire listening and singing                  to gospel music as well as one of them throwing                  another person's bag of weed out the window in                  which this looked pretty odd but yet adds some                  timing to the humor here as we think the others                  are religious. I mean what's a horror film                  without a teen smoking dope?Then most of the time we spot them doing musical                  numbers and hooking up their instruments to play                  at a campfire in the dark which seemed to be a                  bit of a bore here and then we spot some lights                  as we wonder if the killer is coming in for the                  kill only to spot some fine chicks and other guys                  coming in to their party which looked adrenalised                  as if you were in the picture enjoying yourself.                  This scene I must say looked fairly strong.
 Another strong moment with two chicks singing                  towards one another while going to their car with                  their emotions towards one another. Then they try                  to trap themsevles inside the vehicle from the                  killer trying to crash through their window                  shield in which there's trashy looking camera                  takes on this.
 I was thinking to myself ok where is the horror                  in this plot as it was getting pointless without                  a plotline but people doing duets with one                  another making the story happen and very little speaking too.
 There's more situations happening but it is very                  slow and powerful moments with disputes between                  other band members which seems to look perfectly                  meaty here that something dysfunctional is going                  on here.
 There's also a woman trying to sympathise towards                  her boyfriend with him acting cocky and insulting                  her as well as a good shot back at him by getting                  defensive here in which this moment looked                  powerful too since we needed more of this in a                  horror flick as well as figuring that this dude                  will be done in by the killer next.
 There's an interesting moment with a foreign                  person trying to sing english towards her friend                  and acting happy and cheerful but suddenly the                  killer crashes in which looked fairly suspenseful                  to watch breaking this moment. There's other                  brutal killings happening with other victims as                  it can psych you out now and then including                  someone being impaled by a keyboard as this was                  supposed to look unique in a horror musical like                  this but I was thinkiing how lame. However                  there's a brutal axe swinging at a woman's head                  as she stands stiff and then falls which looked                  good and shocking to watch.
 Bottom line is that this film is a real sleeper                  and as mentioned nearly plotless and unscary for                  the most part as well as the makers trying to                  kill time with the music before the real terrors                  here which doesn't work in at all. They tried to                  make this piece an original one but didn't go too                  far at all. Avoid this one at all costs. Plus it                  isn't a remake to the infamous 1982 turkey                  slasher flick done in Utah. Skip this and watch Repo                  The Genetic Opera instead as that one                  had alot more class than this one. Also I had                  doubts on reviewing this since it was tough to                  follow whether or not it was a horror in general.
 
 The acting seemed to pull in okay                  but not the greatest by any means. It was mainly                  musical acting so in other words alot more                  singing instead. Let's try to see who stands out                  here as this was tough to figure out. Oh yes Cassandra                  Walker (Ashley) seemed to come on well as an                  understanding type who talks softly and nicely                  towards others in which she gets into this                  nicely. She also has a good smooth singing voice                  when we hear her and strongly done too. Plus does                  a good job with her scared and panicking attitude                  when the terror is happening showing some good                  adrenaline here.Matt Sbeglia (Nick)                  seemed to shine off perfectly by acting like a                  typical douchebag and a male chauvinist which                  also seemed very believeable here. Shows a good                  hyperactive behavior too with what is happening                  along with having these right looks to potray                  this part. His singing in the film is at an                  average pace and not the greatest.In                  other spots does a good job with his mysterious                  attitude too.
 Soomin Lee (Johnny) tried to show off well                  to the camera with his outgoing type of behavior                  and showing pizzaz as well but yet his singing is                  the pits. He is totally out of tone and sounds                  like a born amateur who is in desperate need for                  singing lessons or better yet a new hobby or                  career. He must've been a friend of the filmmaker                  in which this strongly shows here with his                  musical performance.
 Casey Smith (Anton) seemed to be the most                  powerful performer out of the whole cast in which                  he was perfect with his cocky and obnoxious                  attitude and bringing this to life big time. He                  certainly knew a thing or two on portraying a                  person you don't want to mess with while having a                  bad day here. He almost comes across perfectly as                  someone who will hit you showing his                  temperamental behavior. He was a very strong                  singer while doing his musical numbers and has a                  good singing voice I must say really belting it                  out in a high fashion.
 There were many other performers but these were                  the only one's that stood out in my mind. These                  people are virtual unknowns and if they accept                  work like this they will stay that way.
 
 A body is skinned to the boneA face is smashed in lying on the ground
 A head is whacked by an axe and bloodied
 Someone is imapled by a keyboard and bloodied
 Blood stabbings
 Lots of violent bloodsheds inclduing bloody                  bodies
 
 The                  composing for the musical scores seemed fairly                  okay especially the clear keyboard music which                  smoothens the song and is really out there.                  However there's some accoustic guitar playing                  which wasn't my style at all and could've done                  without.There's the odd electric guitar licks as                  this seemed to work in well nonetheless. Plus we                  hear the odd creepy synthesizer music for when                  the horror moments start in the film which                  sounded a bit cheesy to listen to. This was done                  by separate composers such as Sam Bisbee and Bo Boddie.           |
