An odd, slightly above-average slasher flick with a ridiculous premise (and a terrible name). A college student moves into a house full of women where they are always on camera for a porn site, until one unhappy fan discovers the location of the house and massacres them.
I will say this. This movie opens with a well-enough done scene, setting the stage for the later carnage, that I noticed it... it was a little intense and well-made, and unusually dark and disturbing in its violence, for what I expected to be a run-of-the-mill third-rate slasher pic (as most slasher pics are, and the name of this one certainly could lead one to believe it would be.)
This movie continued in that fashion... just a hair better than these movies usually are. There was a little more character development that they usually bother with, and the violence was, at times, unusually horrifying, even for an experienced horror fan like myself. It was almost as if they didn't get the memo that slasher films are all supposed to be 100% garbage, not just 99%.
For that reason, I think ordinary slasher film fans would rate this one pretty low. I think those people prefer worse movies.
Turns out to be a Canadian film, so it all tracks. It's like they always seem like they're at least trying to be a decent movie, in some way. It barely squeaks in among the better made slasher films I've seen, I suppose, making it a rarity.
It's still a slasher film, though—fundamentally, nothing but an orgy of violence as entertainment. When the violence ends, so does the movie, because the orgy of violence is the entire story. So, not going to get very high marks from me.
