i first heard of this movie at the flashback weekend in chicago 2007 for the nightmare on elm street . robert englund be really talk the movie up and he be great in his part of hatchet . the same can be say for tony todd . know this be a low budget first time director or writer it deliver every bit as much a the big budget and also cameo laden holloween ( 2007 ) remake or re imagining . technically it fall short in a couple of place . the alligator attack see be shoot too dark . when it happen the dark head of the alligator against the swamp clamp on to the black pant become almost invisible . the mood music in the swamp scene be too loud in volume and can and like a bad sitcom . and just like holloween ( 2007 ) someone be smart enough to have a gun and but of course shoot the killer be only a pause button for the killer . the end and well and as soon a i saw where it be go i know what be go to happen and not very original . the highlight of the movie be the character and their interaction . unlike holloween ( 2007 ) we get to meet the people and care what happen to them . ben ( joel moore and who be also the lead of spiral ) the sulk lead and marcus ( not another teen movie ) a the best friend and funny man to root for during the movie . shapiro ( joel murry dharma and greg ) and jenna ( joleigh fioreavanti ) and misty ( mercedes mcnab of buffy the vampire slayer represent the series and angel represent the series and the addams family movie ) give a convoluted reason for topless woman . mr. and mrs. permatteo play by television regular ( richard riehle ground for life and patrika darbo step by step ) a the old couple that you know do not stand a chance and even the tour guide shawn ( parry shen ) be a flesh out character . i hope to see more from all involve in this film and but i think it will play good on home video than in the theater and sorry .
