However the film is alarmingly mean-spirited and sadistic, making it more like a teen exploitation film. Though the story isn’t very original, the delivery certainly is. Plus there are surprising elements that take the film way beyond simple slasher territory. Beginning with the title-referencing massacre which when seen towards the end in its full blood-drenched glory, makes the events in “The Final” look like a manufactured conveyor belt boy band “music” video. Astonishing and pleasingly disturbing.
I guess Elvis also said positive things about this movie months ago. Gonna download it soon.
