There are low budget movies that are great, there are ones that are good, and there are those that are awful. This movie plummets into the dark, festering puss of 'cinema'.
I would like to warn you their might be some spoilers, but for a movie this horrible and clique you probably already know how things go...
There was nothing really 'original and creepy' about this film, despite what I read on the Flash advertisement online. This movie was built upon childish writing, bullying and condensation of others, and lack of formula film making. Occasionally it reminds us it is a horror movie by adding some spooky music and dead people vanishing, but it is as close to horror as a child's scary prank. At points when someone should meet their fate they appear fine and none the wiser.
How this characters are friends is beyond belief. The girlfriends clearly have no true feminine sense for staying with such immature, testosterone imbalanced boys. The 'macho' male seems to only have one voice tone and lives for condescending everyone around him and never moves his hair from his face. The 'jock' should have been killed off the moment he walked on set for the first time. The 'funny man' tries way too hard to be funny and uses his recorder so much you wish for it to be shoved down his throat. After the first 20 min, if you can stand it that long(but I'm dedicated and sat through the whole thing), you'll wish to stab all of the characters in face with an icepick(thus the title of the review).
Human logic seems to be a failing factor as well. Characters can't jump down from 6ft up, unable to tell a mouse from a raccoon, can't light a candle when a lighter is lit(which was pointless when a lit lantern was at their feet).
As a mark or true idiocy and lack of professionalism, there is too much light where there shouldn't be light, the camera shakes too much, shots jump from one another as if there is poor video buffing. There is also a lack of knowledge of human anatomy with the baby skeleton looking like a mud doll.
This movie threw out everything that could have been half good and somehow stretched it to an hour and a half. When it came to wrapping things up, it fell flat on it's face with both knees shattered, killing people too little too late, especially the macho male lead(I personally wanted him to suffer more)...To sum up my banter of hatred, never watch this movie, never buy it, never rent it, never allow a friend to get it for you. If they do, hit them across the face with the DVD before burning it and throwing the blazing disc into the director's face. I couldn't even recommend this as a laugh, chuckle, giggle, or even a scoff; and I have seen "Manos: The Hands of Fate" but that was seen through the help of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Even MST3K could summon the courage to see one frame of this pile of excrement...
