This film is definitely for those who are looking for something a bit different and might be movie purists.

This film is based on a fake trailer that was posted on the website 5secondfilms.com and the feature film was produced by them as well. 

The history of this supposed cult movie is obviously made up as there has been no previous films of this franchise. This instead is an homage and original that pretends to be a sequel. Giving all the characters a supposed history together. 

The collaboration behind the scenes and in front of the camera. Just finding out the story of how it got made is as crazy as the film 

At heart it shows a passion for the films it is clearly inspired by and is a B-Movie satire and spoof of those VHS straight to home video movies of the 1980’s as well as those particularly made and filmed on VHS horror movies of that time period. Made on the cheap, usually ridiculous but have a lot of where as dream amateur productions come to life. As much as they could afford 

These are the type of films that would at on USA UP ALL NIGHT. All the time and somewhat censored. Though they have a sense of humor about themselves. They were earnest in what they were hoping to achieve.

The film is juvenile with a lot of off color humor, with ridiculous characters and plot lie s that I respect with being an exploitive slasher film. TBH tough has quite a few surprising cameos throughout. 

At least it stays inventive throughout with practical special effects taking center stage. 

The film feels like a comedy group making a spoof movie. Like KIDS IN THE HALL, BROKEN LIZARD, ASTRON-6. That is how the casts chemistry works so well. It’s silly yet fun especially if you are a fan of horror movies.

Though in the end the film is entertaining, fun, low brow humor, passionate and funny. While also being all over the place and full of cliches
