Five teens (Walter Cornás, Paz Cogorno, Paulo Soria, Sandra De
Vinzenzi, Pablo Pares) visit their hygiene-obsessed friend Lucho (Hernán
Saéz) in his house in the middle of nowhere for a wild party ... and for
some reason, Lucho also offers abode to an ex-marine father (Berta Muniz)
and his overweight son Fito (Juani Conserva) - who soon enough becomes
drawn to the youngsters' partying ... The next day, Fito is gone, and
the youngsters start dying, getting killed by a masked maniac. Only one
girl is smart enough to evade the killer and get away. Then though she
remembers her dead friends and decides to go back to go one-on-one with the
killer ... not a smart move, because the killer is armed and she isn't,
and he's expecting her, and soon enough, he has killed her, too ... But
who' the killer you might ask. Why, it's Fito of course, who has done it
all to impress his father. And his dad, though he doesn't show it, is very
pleased with the boy, too. Very cheaply done slasher-parody
that is kept alive by its colourful cast of characters - from Berta Muniz'
ex-marine and Juani Conserva's overweight boy to hygiene-obsessed Hernán
Saéz and Pablo Parés' poor man's Che Guevara -, some pretty good
situation comedy (including some of the most klutzy killer scenes ever
seen in a slasher), and a directorial effort that puts at least as much
emphasis on comical timing as it does on gore effects and that even makes
fart-jokes funny. Sure, one cannot help but notice some technical
shortcomings of the film, but overall it's great genre fun, no more and no
less.
