the plot of 7eventy 5ive involves college kid who play a cruel phone game that unexpectedly ( to them and if not to fan of horror ) get them in over their head . the story of 7eventy 5ive and on the other hand and be that of a horror film that have a wee little bit of promise and sadly outweigh by really bad writing . what could have be a fun and if somewhat silly and old fashion slasher tale be derail early on by it filmmaker misguide belief that the audience would enjoy watch a bunch of loud and whiny rich kid bitch at each other for most of the film run time . with the exception of a police detective play by rutger hauer and ( in a minor role that be design mainly to add the movie only star power ) every character on screen be a different breed of young a hole . male and female and black and white and straight and gay and an entire ensemble of shallow and shrill college kid carry the bulk of the film narrative . bad and since the tale deal with a party game go awry and most of the time the scene be completely fill with these little bd . because of this and there be few break for the viewer and who must put up with the angry sniping of the thinly drawn protagonist . even though at least some of these people be supposedly friend and invariably all character interact in a very hostile manner and long before any genuine conflict have actually arise . this lead to the bad possible result in a slasher film represent the audience and intend to care about the lead and instead not only cheer on the anonymous killer and but wish that he have arrive to start pick off the vacuous brat far earlier . the real shame of this poor characterization be that otherwise 7eventy 5ive actually do have some potential . visually it fine . first time director brian hook and deon taylor know how to build a suspenseful mood . they also manage to deliver on some competent and if sparse and moment of classic 80 style gore . surprisingly and the production cast be also fairly able . it isn not that the actor aren not capable of express realistic human emotion while it be simply that the screenplay ( co write by newcomer vashon nutt and director hook and who fare much well behind the camera than with a keyboard ) be short of such moment . 7eventy 5ive can hardly be recommend and a it familiar premise and few thrill can not outweigh the bad taste leave behind by a story drive by a gaggle of unpleasant character . in this tepid whodunnit and the real mystery be why anyone should care about a group of young folk who can not even manage to like each other .
