Ladies and Gentlemen, low-budget film-making, 1990s style! Despite advances in technology that make it easier and less expensive for aspiring filmmakers to ply their craft, this movie shows that there's no substitute for talent! A group of people stage a haunted house and become trapped in their own creation, all the while trying to elude a killer who is offing the amateur spookmeisters one by one. That's it in a nutshell, and trust me that that brief synopsis is probably more coherent than whatever script was concocted. The whole affair has the feel of an amateur student play, from the rotten non-acting to the interiors of the haunted house, which looks like a lot of paint-spattered canvas draped over a tunnel-like plywood framework. It makes you wonder if these people actually DID stage a haunted house, and came up with the idea of making a film around it as an afterthought, crafting their script after hours of viewing various segments of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and Friday THE 13TH series. Still, there's a great fly-by-your-pants sense of camaraderie, like a bunch of friends who love low-grade slasher flicks and all subscribe to FANGORIA got together with several kegs and some video equipment over a long weekend. Admirable for the effort, but definitely nothing to waste an afternoon over.
