My title's unfair. Not one single horror film I've ever seen has ever scared me. I guess I keep watching them hoping one day one will but I doubt it. I do like the cliché aspect and sometimes mysteries presented in horror films. Most of them are paint-by-numbers and therefore extremely easy to figure out the mystery aspect of who the bad person or persons are. There have been a few, a literal handful, that stumped me but most are the same and this film is no different.
Usually when a group of teenagers go to a house in the middle of nowhere it's a cabin, a run down house, or a mansion of some kind. This house is residential. One story house that you'd find anywhere. The grandmother of one of the characters died, I believe, and the parents were packing up but couldn't finish...there is nothing in this house that seems as if anyone packed anything up.
I loved how it's a group of friends, two of which get brutally slashed yet no one ever wonders where they are. Also, the two went out to the car in the garage, I believe, to have sex. Um...why couldn't they go to a bedroom? Not like there's any adults around.
The acting was bad but I've actually seen much worse. The lighting was poor, mainly in the outside night scenes. The video quality was mildly okay but not the worst quality I've seen. I felt it was more the anticipation of horror throughout the film than any actual horror. Yes, the beginning had a slasher scene that didn't actually show anything, and then the couple in the car which did, and basically you get some at the end to wrap it up.
The music was good, both composition and song choice. Usually with low budget films I tend to only care for one or the other. Didn't care too much for most of the flashbacks, especially the ones you couldn't hear them talking yet they stay fixed on those flashbacks.
Overall I would say it's worth watching once or twice but no more.
