7/10
Clever Innovative and Fun

Warning: Spoilers
If you are reading this review you have probably seen a few dozen slasher films where over-ripe teens are treated like the main course at a Korean BBQ.

This is NOT one of those films.

Fresh and innovative (and based on a short subject which was extended to full length) this film introduces us to a new class of victim -- namely smug and cocky young males out to show off their swag at a bachelor party.

And it works. It is much more fun watching these guys get eviscerated when trying to pretend they are who they are not (like for example "rescuing" a girl at a sex club in a swamp without realizing she is some sort of demon) than watching teens gets hunted at Camp Runamuck.

Great dialog, interesting and fun.

And contains what could be one of the best throwaway lines in horror -- when the demon finally catches up with the brave soul who unknowingly risked his life (and the lives of his friends) to rescue her, she pins him down on the floor like an appetizer, grins with demonic eyes, and proclaims, "I like you." And I like the movie too.
