For this year's spring break, Rachel (Callie Ott), her brother Toby
(Nicholas James Reilly) and her best friends (Andrea Hunt, Benjamin
Norris, Sarah Agor, Johnny James Fiore, Adam Foster) go up into the woods
to spend a few days of booze and weed out of reach from everybody who
could be a spoilsport. Thing is, Rachel has lived through a serial
killer's massacre a couple of years ago, and now she's a bit nervous - and
thus isn't always totally in the swing of things ... especially when it
comes to her boyfriend Sam (Johnny James Fiore), whom she flatly denies
sex, which he's of course not at all mad about, so ultimaely he has sex
with Rachel's best friend Lisa (Sarah Agor) ... which is when the killings
start: One by one the youngsters are slaughtered by a mysterious killer
who has sabotaged the kids' cars so they can't leave, and since the
tensions are quick to rise between our heroes, they tend to split up again
and again, making it easy for the killer to catch them alone ... So
ok, WTF! is a slasher flick that's rather good at following the
formula - and yet it's pretty good at keeping even those in the audience
who don't like slasher movies entertained, thanks to a cast of relatable
characters played by a cast of competent actors, and also by giving the
characters backstories, making them more than just cannonfodder. Plus,
despite all the gore and killings, the film's rather light-footed, at
times almost comedic in approach, and despite the rest of the film being
formulaic, the resolution, as in the unmasking of the killer, is quite a
shocker. Totally worth a look!
