This is a new-ish slasher movie that thinks it's a throwback to an older era of these kinds of flicks. It's not that at all (the old ones didn't put industrial music on the soundtrack, and the dialogue was never this smarmy), but it's still fun.
This one goes for fun and laughs more than scares, and I respect that. The dialogue is genuinely funny at times, the nudity is liberal, and it goes pretty heavy on the gore. I especially like the belt-sander murder. Eww.
Also of note is a really great, really abrupt ending that I think may also be a parody of the end of the first Lord of the Rings movie.
Oh, and it's good to see Parry Shen in something again. Give this guy more work.

i love movies that just go for it and decide to have all the main characters die. or all the characters, except the bad guy, in general die. hence, i liked the very abrupt ending too that did just that in this movie, when you thought maybe the last two were gonna make it.
