A highly unimaginative slasher that keeps the tension going with a massacre about every 15 minutes.

I would have admired it more if it had found the courage to acknowledge the real relationship it was portraying between Howell and Rutger, but no: It prefers to disguise itself as a violent thriller, and on that level it is reprehensible.
