10 years ago, Tom's (Jon Campling) daughter Sarah (Jessica-Anne Blum)
was massacred while out camping, and her murder was never solved, apart
from the fact that the murderer wore a burlap mask. Since then, Tom has
been investigating the murder - and while he hasn't uncovered any vital
clues, he has written a book about it that sells well enough to warrant
the occasional book signing. And one of these signings is attended by Max
(Damien Puckler), a guy who claims he knows more about the killer, and he
brings the killer's burlap mask as proof. Of course this sparks Tom's
interest, so he gathers his old gang to go on an expedition with him and
Max - the gang consisting of Tom's daughter Laura (Danielle Harris), her
friend Jen (Tevy Poe) and the group's muscle Gus (Gary Kasper). None of
them trusts Max very much, but to his credit he does lead them to an
underground complex they first take for a secret army base, until they
find out it's a giant lab where serialkillers were literally bred, as some
documents prove - so Max hasn't been lying at all about having a lead on
the killer. Thing is, Max is a serialkiller himself, and he's in league
with the killer in the burlap mask (Benjamin Selway), and enjoys watching
him doing his work. And he has locked our heroes in, and while they're
fully armed, Max and the masked killer actually know their way around the
complex ... Now this film is certainly not the reinvention of
the genre, but it does throw motives of the slasher, conspiracy thriller,
action flick and science fiction together in a very entertaining way,
finding the right balance between suspense and spectacle, with an
appropriate amount of violence and gore added to keep genre audiences
interested throughout while taking full advantage of its maze-like and at
times claustrophobic location. And very solid and relatable performances
really round out a piece of pretty cool genre entertainment.
