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.
