A Puxatany Nightmare
Imagine re-living the worst day of your life,
The day you were brutally murdered, over & over again.
Imagine the comedy "Groundhogs Day" was a horror movie.
A Puxatany Nightmare!
Well that's just what we have here.
A rock-bottom budget flick that had some genuinely creepy scenes,
tension as thick as my Uncle Rudy's skull,
as well as a liberal helping of gore.
It also features some great characters as well,
one of which my wife kept comparing to me, saying:
"that's soooo you....now do you know what you sound like??".
to which I responded:
"Yeah I know what I sound like, but he's the best character in the movie ...no?"
This movie also featured some great one-liners:
"It's all about how you feel,
It's all bout how you feel,................when I cut your head off"
The whole time I was watching it I kept thinking;
"Somebody!! Anybody!!, needs to give these guys more money to do an even better film."
All of this credability however, was blown to bits the minute the conclusion rolled around.
Not only is it a thread-bare twist ending,
but it makes about as much sense as a screen-door on a submarine.
(or an ejection seat on a helipcopter if you prefer)
Yep, what we have here is another "High Tension",
yet another member of the ever-growing sub-genre of "jenga horror"
A great horror premise that's never fully realized,
and sadly laid to waste by a thoughtless conclusion.
All in all it's was well worth the purchase,
but like any meal, at any given, high-priced, french restaurant,
I felt a little cheated at the end.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
If at first you don't succeed, die, die again.
Score: 4

The worst, most boring, most ridiculous film ever made
Ok, I bought this movie because it had "Awards from blablabla festival" written all over it... I started the movie and.....
....NOTHING ever happens !
Bad music (when there is any), bad actors, bad sound, bad imagery, bad everything.
I've seen alot of bad bad bad movies, but this is just 1h19min of pain... litteraly !
Remember those movies with nothing ever happening for real but it's always "Oh my god ! the bad guy is after me ! Oh my god he's gonna chop me up !" and the dumb girl wakes up ?
This happens like 30 times during the movie !
BORING !!!!!!
Don't buy this, let other people be as dumb as I was when I made that mistake...
Score: 1

Ground-Hog Day in Hell
"Salvage". I didn't recognize any of the actors. A teenaged girl accepts a ride home from a guy she believes her boyfriend sent to pick her up. He turns out to be a terrifying psychopath. He beats and tortures her. Just when the horror is unbearable, she wakes up back at the start of the SAME day, and has to relive the whole ordeal. This happens over and over again for her. Sort of like a nightmarish "Ground-hog Day". The element that makes this movie even scarier is the fact that it seems all the people closest to her are maybe in on it; her boyfriend, her best-friend, even her mom. A bomb-shell ending that I didn't see coming.
Score: 5

Appreciate It For What It Is
If you want to know what the plot is about just read the other reviews because I don't think this board needs another summary. Anyway, you have to appreciate Indy films to enjoy this movie. I watched it with a friend of mine who wont watch something unless it's a Paramount blockbuster and he never even gave it a chance. While it's true there's no voluptuous starlet being chased in a wet tank top or million dollar special effects this movie is still fun to watch. The characters (not the plot itself) are far more believable than mainstream slasher flicks. The main character reels you in and makes you root for her because she really is the cute college girl from down the street. That sort of thing. In closing if you can't appreciate low budget filmmakers trying to do their best with what they've got then don't bother watching this one. However, if you like to stray away from the mainstream and the subliminal Pepsi or Hummer commercials that come in them...I think you'd enjoy it.
Score: 4
