Featured review
Jason Voorhees has Dutch relatives?
The basic premise of this ultra-low budgeted slasher is completely unoriginal, the gore-effects are cheesier than you can even imagine, the dialogs are laughably inept, the acting performances are pathetic, the script is hopelessly incoherent and yet .... this is a horror effort from The Netherlands, so please forgive me in case I can't possibly bring myself to speak overly negative about it! During the past few years, this country (which happens to be my neighbor to the North) is really trying hard to build up a halfway decent horror reputation, and "Woensdag" certainly deserves to be mentioned as one of the films that played a role in this process. More recently, other Dutch filmmakers had a little more commercial success with the surprisingly entertaining "Sl8N8" and the sadly disappointing "Dood Eind", both of which benefited from a much larger budget. The title simply means "Wednesday", which is fairly insignificant because the events of the film may as well take place at any given day of the week. Like so many recent horror/teen-slashers lately ("My Little Eye", "Halloween: Resurrection", ...), the plot of "Woensdag" revolves on an interactive reality-TV show where the participants surprise, surprise quickly get killed off by an unwelcome visitor. Admittedly, however, the setting and concept of this reality-TV show is still somewhat cool and refreshing. Eight young people are challenged to survive a night in the dark woods where, according to a local legend, a sadistic killer wanders around. The live TV-show is well-prepared, with actors imposing as killers and fake ambushes all over the forest, but the silly game becomes deadly serious when the first contestant dies for real. The creators of this little flick clearly did their homework and studied a whole lot of typically American 80's slashers. The legendary "Friday the 13th" in particular, as the killer is almost an exact clone of the notoriously immortal machete-wielding killer of Camp Crystal Lake. Either with or without the mask covering his face, the killer could by Jason Voorhees' overseas twin-brother! The gore is a bit difficult to judge, actually. There's plenty of grossness going on, including implements, slit throats, decapitations and dismemberment, but the effects aren't very professional and couldn't even disturb a small child. The lighting, editing and camera-work are terribly poor, and I guess this movie holds very little value in case you're not a horror fan living in The Netherlands or Belgium. But, if you do live here, it's an encouraging and worthwhile time-waster.
