This movie basically followed a similar flow as a couple of other horror films I have seen and when I saw Rick Sloan's name, I figured it was going to be super bad. He made the infamous Hobgoblins; however, while not good he also made this film which was more enjoyable to watch. If he had did a bit more with the soundtrack, shown some more nudity and spiced up a couple of the kills I could see this being almost good. He certainly had way more attractive girls in this one and I think I also know that Rick Sloan has a colorful tights fetish as two of the girls in this film were wearing them as was the one girl in Hobgoblins.
The story has a theater reopening yet again, despite the fact that apparently every time it opens someone dies. Well, the flashback pretty much showed a lot of people dying. Well, we flash ahead to a different theater that has two super cute, but horrible employees and three that I guess are okay as the theater manager tasks them with reopening the theater where people die every time it opens. Is the place haunted, cursed or is it just really unlucky?
The actors and actresses are about what you would expect from a film like this. The lead girl is alright, but the two naughty girls are hot. The film has quite a few people to kill, but a problem with the film is that Sloan never ramps up the tension, as the kills are quick and done with, while he will focus on the actors simply sitting on a couch for an extended duration. Rick Sloan just does not seem to get it, but he did pick a good place to kill; however, the theater has been a much better setting in other films. He just did not have enough to really get this one into good territory.
So, while I was expecting this to be super horrible it was not. The best thing I can say about this film is that it held my attention and did not bore me so there is that. I have seen far worse things out there that not only were bad, but bored me to tears so this film with its randomness at least entertains in a way. Basically, a film so bad, but in a way that makes it enjoyable. So in that regard bravo Rick Sloan, as this was certainly better than your Gremlins rip off Hobgoblins.
