The synopsis from Netflix: Brendan (Marques Houston) and Darryl (Omarion Grandberry) take their girlfriends and a few other buddies to a remote cabin for a weekend. But they soon realize that the locals are not at all what they seem, and terror strikes shortly after. One by one, the vacationers go missing or go dead, and the survivors must team up to get away from this nightmarish getaway in this teen horror flick in the vein of Cabin Fever and The Hills Have Eyes.
My thoughts: This was a very predictable film. It lacked originality in most aspects and left me with a feeling of "I've seen that in movies before" in numerous scenes. Aside from a few lines, this film lacked very little creativity in the plot.
The gore was decent enough, but not very plentiful.
The characters were nothing new. Much like the plot, we've seen all these characters before in numerous urban-influenced sitcoms and in several movies in the past. The characters also seemed very out of place with each other. How often do we see thugs hanging out with white trash and preppies at the same party as the only people and as best friends?
The score was horrid. A load of rap and R&B with poorly-written lyrics with a bit of the usual horror film stuff tossed in on occasion.
The other thing that caught me as ridiculous is that the five couples at a party all decided to slow dance with their partners at the same time and all became amorous at the same time later. Not a heaping load of reality in the "normal" actions and activities of the characters.
I suppose it's an OK film, but I definitely would not recommend buying a copy.
