A bunch of friends go on a fishing (and drinking) trip to a pond in the
middle of nowhere. When they notice the two guys who should have come
there ahead of them aren't there yet, they go looking for them, not really
worried, since they don't know their friends have fallen prey to a
homicidal maniac. And the maniac is still on the prowl, picking our
fishermen and -women out one by one and murdering them in the most brutal
fashion. Only one girl escapes his clutches and makes it to civilisation
... well, at least to the next house. There though, she finds the severed
corpses of all of her friends - which means ... YIKES! There's
one word to fully sum up this film: Boring. Now you would think a 65
minute-movie about a maniac killer gruesomely killing 10 or so people
can't go too wrong because you can't fit much more than the killings into
the short running time anyways - and apparently you're wrong. Sure, the
whole thing starts out fine with 2 guys being brutally killed in the
pre-credit sequence, but from here on it's downhill, as the situation for
the rest of the cast is set up for almost half an hour. Now what is there
to set up if all you need to know is a bunch of friends go on a fishing
(and drinking) trip? you might ask - and you are right, and that's the
first problem of the film: It makes a point when there's no point to be
made. The second is that when the slaughter finally
starts in the second half of the movie, the filmmaker is not able to
maintain the steam from one murder scene to the next, quite the contrary,
he tries to calm things in the linking sequences, effectively destroying
the film's pacing. Add to that a cast that's not really up to the task to
portray fear and terror - and you are left with something you don't really
want to see.
