For the weekend, Paul (Dwayne Cameron) & Grant (John Barker) want to go
to the beach for a surf & maybe a shag, but as these things go, the trip to
the sea takes a tad longer than they have expected, night sets in & they
decide to take a shortcut through some backwoods area ... oh, & need I even
mention their car gets stuck ? Soon they find a nearby farmhouse, but there
they witness a brutal murder, & what's worse, the killer, Bill (Peter
McCauley) has seen them, and he is not alone & soon he & his henchmen
chase the 2 boys, who soon get seperated, & while Paul soon hooks up with 2
girls (Kate Elliott, Aidee Walker) he somehow drags into this mess, Grant finds
a local farmer, Martin (Paul Glover) who is not eager to immediately kill him,
& seems to be rather at odds with killer Bill, but nevertheless, he soon
forces Grant do some gravedigging at gunpoint, until Grant finds a rotten
skeleton, which Martin adresses as Bill & starts talking to ... Eventually
it turns out that all the locals here are caught in a timeloop, & have all
died violent deaths ages ago, & even the girls whom Paul has picked up have
died in a carcrash around here & have spent the last 3 years reliving their
last hours ... & now that Grant & Paul have entered the timeloop, they
are endangered to become part of it, too ... but fortunately, they can
eventually get away from Bill 6 his malevolent locals ... when they stumble
over Paul's corpse, & realize he is already a part of the loop ... which is
when Bill & his thugs catch up with them once more, & prepare to kill
Grant too, when Grant remembers the bones, Bill's bones he has dug up for
Martin, & he destroys them, so Bill too falls to dust. Then at the
request of Paul who has little interest to remain n the loop, Grant takes his
dead body & drives away from timeloop-country, enabling his friend to
truly rest in peace ... Boring teen-horror that tries to be clever,
but the idea of dead people endlessly reliving their last hours in a timeloop
has in fact been filmed quite a number of times, e.g. Anthony Dawson's Danse
Macabre/Castle of Blood, its remake Nella Stretta Morsa del Ragno/Web
of the Spider, or even Neil Jordan's forgettable romantic comedy High
Spirits. What remains is a bunch of unexciting chases through unimpressive
landscapes, decidedly unpooky horror-scenes & a rather predictable plot.
