the choke start a a rock band know a the choke prepare for a gig at a nightclub call club 905 own and run by guy johnson ( andrew parker ) . lead singer dylan ( sean cook ) and guitar player mike ( jason mckee ) plan to tell the other band member and bass player london ( brooke bailey ) and drummer nancy ( tom olson ) and that they be both go solo and their service would not be need any longer . once at the club dylan prepares but mike doesn not show up and the gig turn into a disaster . then just a the band think thing couldn not get any bad they find a dead body in the cellar and that all the door have be lock so they can not get out and that they can not trust anyone a a mysterious killer begin pick them off one by one . produce and direct by juan a. mas the choke be a standard by the number teen slasher that really doesn not have anything go for it . the script by jessica dolan and susannah lowber ( not too many horror film out there pen by lady . ) have some surprisingly good character in it and some nifty dialogue but while it much well than a lot of modern shot on a camcorder type horror in that respect it so slow and boring that even a few interesting character can not come anywhere close to save it . a one would expect all the usual teen slasher clichés be use and from the isolated location the victim can not escape from and the cast of good look teenager who keep split up and a few murder and a really poor twist end that try to mimic something like scream ( 1996 ) and be surprising but doesn not make a whole lot of sense when you think about it logically ( they couldn not have do some of the thing they be suppose to ) and to make matter even bad i guess who the killer be fairly early on and even though i do not want to boast i be spot on . then there the fact that the maker of the choke felt that it audience would be entertain by show endless ( well it feel endless while watch it ) scene of teenager walk around dark corridor do nothing in particular and i be sorry but there be only so many scene like this that i can take before it start to become tedious . the kill count be low and at first they all decide to stick together ( good idea ) but then they all just randomly decide to split up and go their separate way ( bad idea when there a killer on the loose ) and the pace be lethargic and the kill scene be unimaginative and to top it all off the twist end be poor . director ma do alright and the film look ok for the most part although there be the odd occasion where he use some annoy post production edit technique like slow motion or frame skipping . the gore level aren not really up to scratch and there some blood splatter and a guy with a hole in his chest and a few dead body and someone impale on some metal pole . most of the kill happen off screen with the axe kill at the end a good example of the film not actually show anything . since the film be about a rock band there quite a rock orientate soundtrack with some truly horrible and horrible rock song use on it . i be sorry rock fan but to my ear this crap be just noise pollution . it not scary and there no real atmosphere and the lack of blood and gore be just inexcusable when the rest of the film be so bad . with a supposed budget of about $ 1 and 000 and 000 the choke be well make with reasonable production value and it look cheap to be sure but not as cheap a many low budget horror film look . shot in a place call spokane in washington apparently . the acting be one of the film strong point a it generally pretty good all round and i mean no one be go to win an oscar but it ain not half bad . the choke be a throughly routine scream style teen slasher that have one of the weak twist ending ever and a criminal lack of blood and gore and violence and nudity and dead body . i mean if a slasher hasn not get any sex or gore then what the point . those be the only thing that the average slasher be worth watch for and right .
