Girlhouse
After a swarm of horror remakes,
this new, original concept comes along to show that there are still different
horror films to be made.
The story is the basic slasher plot
of every Halloween and Friday the 13th film, but this one has it
revolve around a house of cam-‘girls’. The killer is the usual deranged maniac
with a mask from a range of horror films, but he does have quite an emotional
backstory to back up the things he does in the later half of the film.
If you’re a horror fan, then this is
definitely a fun popcorn thrill-fest. There’s also some great cinematography
and the actresses and actors all play well and aren’t just there to look good
in front of the camera. The only downside, if you’re looking for more
blood-spillage is that there isn’t a lot, but there is an excess, in the second
half of the film when it ups the tension, of creepy visuals. The jump scares
are well timed as well, but this film does not rely on them at all, except it
relies on slow tension, building up to the final assault on the ‘girls’ in the
house.
The concept is explored really well,
and it is great to see a maniac on the loose whom can use technology to see
where the ‘girls’ are located in the house.
A fun, scary ride.
