four college student rent room at an old and creepy look sea side house and run by an elderly woman and her rather reclusive son . unbeknownst to them a mysterious stalker hide somewhere in the house quietly watch and prey upon them one by one in typical slasher fashion . this movie would have be plenty creepy if there be some payoff every so often and but unfortunately it just keep build up and build up to a climax that be neither particularly scary or surprising . it do have a few good moment here and there and such a a close up of the unseen killer peer through a vent and or secretly break into the cobweb ridden crawlspace and but these moment be ultimately swallow up by the relentlessly tedious pace . the cast do it best with the material but there simply nothing for them to work with . balding and who show plenty of charisma in her next film the boogens and be completely waste in a thankless role that give her little more to do other than stand around look cute in spite of ridiculous look clothes . 4 out of 10 and despite otherwise creepy direction this film be just too long and tedious and uneventful to hold you interest .
