Part of a "special" late-nite television program...Four friends on their way to a wedding find themselves marooned on a mysterious farm. Creatures of the night awaken and the undead rise, as a night of relentless horror...Begins!
Rating:4/10 This wasn't an original horror film and it seemed as if the filmakers prided themselves on making a bit of a low budget tribute to '70's and '80's style horror movies. It started off pretty decent with an old school narrator to give it a bit of build up. That was kind of cool. but it gets very boring. It takes over an hour to set this movie up! What were they thinking. I can understand taking a half hour to set up the action in a horror movie, but when it takes up most of the movie with pointless dialogue and a stupid little break towards the end with the narrator(really ruining what little flow this movie had) it really makes this movie not worth watching. I liked the idea that this film was grainy and gave it a bit of a look of something that would've been on the late night horror shows, which is kind of a decent idea. But this movie lacks a lot of things. Decent acting especially. Really that can ruin a movie if the story is as unoriginal as this was.
