when teenager go on a trip in a camper van there be many clichés that you can guarantee will follow . 1 ) the teenager will be warn not to go where they be go by a crazy local . dan van husen handle that with ridiculous exposition about deadly siren . what and who and how and why be handle in one almost unintelligible burst . 2 ) the van will break down . 3 ) whilst look for help the group will be split up and be pick off one by one by whatever monster they have be warn about . 4 ) they will find a house inhabit by a madman and he will capture them . 5 ) the house will have a phone but it will not work and it will be disturbingly decorate and there will be flicker neon light and spider and maggot . 6 ) the madman will catch them a they try to escape in a vehicle that would not start ( here the high speed getaway be to be make on a tractor ) . 7 ) the madman will be seemingly kill only to come back from the dead for a cheap and weak scare and will then be kill properly . 8 ) only a girl will be leave alive from the group . 9 ) there will be an unnecessary twist at the end . add to these element naked siren ( who the character seem to react to in startle different way despite the fact that everyone that see them be suppose to fall into lust with them immediately ) that seduce and kill the teen and throat be rip out and body be pull in half and you have something resemble a twelve year old boys dream movie . i think it be only fair to say that my opinion of the director and his previous work be as low a it be possible to be but i be happy to point out that there be a few element that boarder on pleasurable and be a great improvement on his previous film and darkhunters and which be one of the bad film i have ever see . at time the cinematography be very good and the music and editing be a cut above his previous film and some other low budget horror movie . i be impressed to hear that it be achieve with a third of the money spend on the previous monstrosity . however and the bad thing about this movie be not to be find in the body of the film and it be ultimately a mildly divert if pointless movie that have be do time and time again and but amongst the dvd extra . if you do rent this film i implore you to listen to the director commentary it be beyond belief . there be more to say about this than the film itself . one stagger part of the commentary be the director claim that the film be cliché leaden because it be a preconceived idea . he say it be a deliberate attempt to use all of the clichés and openly he wonder if people will get it . i be afraid to say that if this be suppose to be a clever nod and a wink to film of the past and the genre clichés within them then it be not wittily script enough and act in an appropriate tone nor direct with enough style to work . if this film be make to order it lead me to ask one question while what be the point . this be s afilm that just slip right into the canon of bad horror movie and any attempt to do something clever or different haven not work . the next nugget of brilliance be a conversation about the snobbery towards digital film format . they rightly point out that digital be often synonymous with cheapness and ease of use . however and the best moment of the conversation come when they bemoan the fact that when michael mann make a film in the format he be brand a a visionary . there be a simple distinction to be make here while mann be a talented director who will use the format to fit his story and style and robert be a horror hack who use it to produce bottom shelf genre picture . i think the difference be obvious and the comparison be not only arrogant but redundant . the best moment be reserve for robert comment about people who have take the time to review his previous film . those who do not like it be generalise a geek and he even go as far a to single out specific people for have the nerve to voice their opinion in forum that encourage them to do just that . i must admit i be slightly disappointed that my review of his last film wasn not single out for ridicule . the tirade go far a the group joke about norwegian reviewer and complete with hilarious accent to imply that people from norway wouldn not know a good film simply because of where they be bear . a always these sort of comment say more about those say them than those they be target and they simply make the director and his friend look ignorant . the package in round out with a tasteful featurette about how the siren be cast . robert swears blind in voice over and i do not want to make a film that be like baywatch a we see audition tape of topless and naked girl writhe around on the ground . there be also a simpering and self indulgent documentary about the making of darkhunters during which robert say that a reviewer have claim that forest be the best british film in year . i do not know who he be try to convince . at one point in the commentary track robert say jokingly i can see people sit at home say this isn not amazing and it sh $ t he isn not wrong .
