This small gem of a film goes to show what can be achieved with a lot of talent, imagination and determination and without any major backing.
It is blatantly a B-movie and without of the post-modern cleverness of some current horrors, it goes back to basics in terms of T&A and violence. The story is a standard revenge plot but bombs along with some neat twists and turns backed by some neat editing, great gore and SFX and a killer sound-track of metal and rawk! The shower scene is so totally gratuitous it will have you laughing and the kills come frequently enough that you'll be entertained, but varied enough that you are never bored.
The cricket theme is really just an excuse to use every cricketing implement as a murder weapon, so don't worry if you're not a sports fan, as long as you are a horror fan you won't be disappointed.
I'd love to see what the husband and wife director/producer team can do with a real budget next time out, but kudos to them for getting up off their backsides, working for years and producing something this good and this fun.
I saw this at the 'night of horror' festival in Sydney, but I hear that it has got DVD distribution in UK, Oz and US so support low-budget film making and buy/rent it!
