Caught the first 20 minutes of this flick on HBO last night (free HBO, by the way). I was totally not planning on watching it, but that 20 minutes included a kid killing her mother, a mental institution rape that causes a mental institution baby, who dies, causing a mental institution massacre. Then I turned it off and went to bed.
In the spirit of the marathon, I found it on HBO go, because we never leave a movie behind. So I put it back on and ran straight into 20 minutes of crass teenager banter that passed for 'character development'. That and some of the cinematography are the only real complaints I have about this flick. Sometimes, I think budgetary reasons constricted any real 'shooting style' to 'moving the camera kind of fast'.
Other than that, this one's a keeper. It is everything that one could ask for out of a modern low budget horror flick. The cast is fairly universally solid and very pretty. They are also down to do whatever the script asks of them, which sometimes is a lot. This flick is drenched in blood, boobs, ghosts, killers, entrails, and just enough of me giving a crap about the foolish teens and their guide (the graveyard groundskeeper) to keep watching. It delivers more than most of these flicks, for sure. I mean, when your main killer is a naked ghost chick, you're doing something right.
