Premise

edit

Two film students visit a spooky old town for the purpose of filming a documentary. Things in the town are not what they seem and before they know it, they are the next target of a mysterious hooded serial killer.

Reception

edit

A review at Horror Society stated, ”The story is bad and hard to follow.  Not because it is complicated, but because the film has a hard time actually following the plot.  The film is vaguely a slasher film while trying to play on the psychological thriller angle.  Finally, the special effects are non-existent which makes the kill scenes horrible to watch.  I’ve seen my fair share of low budget slashers and I have seen a lot better kills than what this one offers."[1]

DVD Talk’s also quite negative review found the film "very unsatisfying”[2]
