And to think that this was the last film that Wes Craven had any involvement in before his untimely death just adds to the all around naffness of the finished product.
A killer sends a young woman photographs of his victims, which draws the attention of an arrogant celebrity photographer.
The shutterbug and his entourage then head to the woman's small town to get closer to the mayhem......
The film awkwardly mixes humour with some really ropey horror and dialogue, and after an initially impressive opening which isn't unlike that opening scene in the wonderful 'Scream', it just goes downhill rapidly, despite some potential in a couple of characters.
I'm really hoping that Cravens involvement was that of just the masked predators whom appear in windows and behind people, because these really are unnerving scenes, and if the film was focused more on them, rather than Kla Penn and his abhorrent entourage, it could have been something.
Penn gets top billing in this, and on the one sheet, his name is above the title, just like Schwarzeneggars was back in the day. I mean really? apart from playing Kumar, and having a non speaking role in that awful Bryan Singer Superman film, what has he done? So apart from a couple of unnerving scenes, it's a failure on every level, it provides us with no tension, no reason for what the protagonists/antagonists are doing, and we are treated to some silly Scooby Doo ending.
Don't bother.
