Two college friends, Marie and Alexa, encounter loads of trouble (and blood) while on holiday at Alexa's parent's country home when a mysterious killer invades their quiet getaway.
Rating:4/10 While I was watching this movie, I was really getting into how good this was. The action sequences mixed with the tension that was created was making a near perfect horror movie. As a matter of fact, I was thinking of giving this movie a rating of ten. But what happened next, in my opinion, was an very incompetent piece of filmmaking. The last ten minutes of this movie was ruined by the "twist" at the end. This movie did not need that idiotic twist. What that twist did, was bring all the flaws of this story right to the forefront and ruined what could have been a classic horror movie. I mean, there was some very good acting here. The tension created was perferctly done. But the twist at the end ruined a perfectly good horror movie. Why do many people feel that there has to be a twist at the end of a horror movie anymore? This didn't need it. It makes me so angry that I invested so much emotionally into this movie, just to get kicked in the nuts. This movie makes me very angry. Don't waste your time.
