16 year old Amanda (Mya Lowe) and her dad (Ales Zahara) have just been
killed by a masked maniac (Nemo Cartwright), but fortunately she has just
managed to send off a message to her girlfriend Samantha (Alison Thornton)
to tip her off - if by complete coincidence. But when the killer arrives
at Samantha's place, she's well prepared, manages to knock him out and tie
him up in the basement to ... well, she hasn't really thought that part
out yet. But once she has unmasked the killer, she takes great joy in
torturing him, and not even (later confirmed) his claim that he's a
policeman can deter her. Thing is, having a killer tied up in your
basement is one thing, being faced by repeated calls from your mother
(Micah Kelpin), having to deal with a drunk friend (Mauri Momose) who was
also your girlfriend's biggest bully, and by a overly horny pizza guy
(Harrison Houde) is quite another, all of which tends to mix up quite a
bit ... Now this film's opening scene is nothing if not
disturbing. And while the film soon seems to fall into slasher standards
(and probably intentionally so), it suddenly takes a very welcome
deviation from the formula by switching assailant and victim roles while
leaving things in a grey area, which doesn't only make for great drama but
also great comedy, as despite all the violence going on, the film's also
aware of and actually milks the absurtidy of the situation - with some
great writing preventing the movie to drift off into the merely moronic.
And a solid cast and a genre-savvy direction further see to it that this
has turned out to be a really cool piece of horror cinema.
