A nerdy girl Ellie Saunders (Tiffany Paralta) is being picked on due to her ugly looks. She goes to an abandoned house that's noted to being cursed and finds a magic locket that will make her beautiful with each attractive person that she murders.

 

The beginning has a prologue of a murder but it looks amateruish as well as this being shot on a cheap camera so I knew I was in for a bad slasher flick.
When it takes place present day we spot a nerdy highschool girl Ellie Saunders as well as what she is doing which was a total bore as well as someone warning her not to go into a home as the house didn't look creepy as you would think due to a filmmakers budget in order to do so.
When she arrives home there's pointless discussions with her family as well as her looking at a locket from the supposed creepy house with a note inside of it. I was like ho hum.
She heads to a cafe where she is stopped by some street punks that beat her up. Man I will tell you this that it didn't look brutal at all and poor camera shots on everything that was happening here. Not disturbing at all as you'd expect.
Her parents leave town for the weekend and then is notified that her parents died in a car crash as this did look sad but needed a better improvement in order to feel for this poor kid.
The killings are about to take place after she reads out the note in the locket in which she goes to a beach and tries to murder someone swimming by strangling them. I knew it wasn't going to look realistic at all and it was just that. Her hands weren't grabbed on too tightly. This looked pretty lousy.
We slowly start to see Ellie transforming into someone beautiful and eventually changes her name to Kate as this looks mildly interesting but don't expect any special effects for this transformation as there is none.
Yet at a theme park someone goes into a funhouse and Kate starts to strangle this victim which looked a bit more brutal but this is nothing to brag about. Nice dark shots on this though.
Kate starts to meet the boy of her dreams whom is Don Adams in which their conversations towards one another looked trashy. Yet, when they go see a cheesy horror flick things looked interesting on the screen.
Then when they go to a cafe some guys hit on her and a fight breaks out. This looked very sloppy when we spot this but a bit better than the other fights that happened in this flick previously.
One of the best moments is when someone goes for a walk on during a thunderstorm and this leaves a feeling for sure that this person is the next one to being killed.
Kate has a nightmare with people as zombies take revenge on her that she killed with decent camera shots. This was the best scene ever as we needed more of this in this clunker.
Bottom line is that this piece of trash is pointless and nearly plotless too as I has a difficult time reviewing this one. Made on almost nothing as there's not any special effects on the killing or any prosthetics which were needed big time. It was made on a home video camera and the makers tried to make this one a grindhouse type. Sorry folks this didn't do the trick. Avoid this one at all costs as this one is a sleeper.

The acting is so amateurish it's not even funny and full of unknowns including Tiffany Paralta (Ellie Saunders) playing the nerdy teen in which she didn't know on how to act like an outsider and is over the top when she is upset or killing her next victim. She is not forceful within her motives or blocking in order to make her menacing behavior to look realistic. She seemed very lazy in what she protrays here.
Rob Vidal
(Don Adams) portrays the dreamy boy next door but his looks are just maediocre and can't seem to get into character although he tries to do so. He was just a line reader. Sorry folks. He just doesn't cut it at all.
Lisa Ferber (Kate Baxter) was the best in the cast as I must admit that she did a fairly good job in her role. She shows some okay energy. She knew on how to have some pizzaz in her role. Plus shows off a fair outgoing type of attitude.
Jacqui Holland (Susan Chambers
) however was super irritating as she whined in her role. She tried her best while portraying a somewhat bimbo type of persona but acting isn't cut out for her. Had the okay blonde looks but wasn't overly hot like her role was meant to be.
Bill Perlach (Angelo Barretti) plays a nice guy employee at a cafe as he draws that fairly well. Yet he is wooden within his characteristics. He seemed a bit low on energy although he was trying to spice it up. He was another actor that couldn't keep up the pace within whatever he did..

Lisa Ferber exposes her breasts in many scene's including to trying to tape them while putting on a tight top as well as looking into a mirror. Also fornicating with a guy.

The makers had no effects to reveal true gore but there's a scene with people watching a horror movie and a heart is torn out of a victim..

James Sizemore isn't too bad with his music as it sounds fair enough with some of the classical sounds. It does sound a bit like on a synthesizer but done in good taste as there's some sad piano and violin playing for the sad moments. Also in fair shape when the adventureous moments for the suspenseful situations too. It's not great sounding but better than the film itself.
