Storyline
Featured review
After escaping from a mental asylum, father and daughter serial killers begin a mass murder rampage on a group of civilians enjoying a tour of a local park, forcing the overmatched guide and the hapless security in the area to protect the remaining guests from the savage duo.
There was a lot to enjoy with this one. One of the better aspects of this one is the film's tendency to execute its slashing scenes rather quickly and early throughout here. Graced with a fun and simplistic setup that allows for that to happen with the duo wreaking havoc on the tour group out in the middle of nowhere without them realizing it, this allows the film to go for a never-ending series of shock ambushes and confrontations that are utilized in the best indie tradition. As this requires them to basically engage in a series of randomized encounters and confrontations with those on the tour or other random guests, it keeps the film moving along quite nicely. As expected, that also ends up providing the film with a slew of fun if cheesy kills. Employing the kind of shock ambushes that it does where this one allows the killers to get the drop on unsuspecting and unaware victims with a knife or blunt object, the opportunity for a smattering of cheesy kills including being sliced open so their entrails fall out, a head sliced open, being beaten with a rock to the point of their head caved in, and a near-endless amount of vicious stabbing that goes on throughout here that keeps this one going from one encounter to the next. This all manages to provide the film a lot to like although there are some problems here. The main drawback is the somewhat troublesome sense of logic that runs throughout here where the films' indie origins mean this one comes undone frequently for the sake of the story. The police officers here routinely forego normal procedure leaving bodies unattended in the middle of the park without alerting others, leaving their equipment out in the field without any attempt to recover it, or leaving untrained and unarmed civilians to retain control over a suspected serial killer as that kind of logic and decision-making is to keep the film going from one setpiece to the next. While the budget also impedes things at times as well, it's not as big of an issue despite sticking out somewhat here.
Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
